This Is How We Do It…
Just checking in to let you know that although this nack.club website hasn’t seen much activity lately, the same is hardly true for NACK the CLUB itself. We just finished up another solid & successful six session winter pool season & are all ready now for the ’18 paddling season. Last Saturday Paul V.…

NACK, We have liftoff !!!
Things are looking up & moving along. After being greenlighted by substantial unanimity with a vote taken at last November’s general membership meeting, the ‘NACK drone’ has moved from a mere board meeting proposal to becoming a rock-solid (in up to 15mph winds so far) reality. Definitely a quantum leap ahead of that camera-on-a-pool-skimmer-pole ‘drone…

Our Winter Pool
Has just passed its hallway point & we are down to just two remaining sessions. I understand a lot of folks who aren’t snowbirds or year round cold water diehards kind of just pack their boats & gear away & don’t look back until the azaleas start to bloom. So if you find yourself in…

The 10th Annual Lighthouse Music Festival

Pizza Pizza

Our first ‘Pizza Paddle’ was a few weeks back when we reached out to the nice folks over at the new ‘Easy East’ kayak/skate shop in Huntington, (right ON the Harbor) to organize a meet, greet,…

What happened to Spring??
Thought March was supposed to ‘come in like a lion’, not MAY ! Oh well. Just a short trip summary to report here to you that neither snow nor sleet nor gloomy, cold, rain-threatening May days will keep us from getting our boats, blades & bodies into the water. The 54° degree water at the Northport boat…

Massapequa ‘Mini-Moon’
Well, it may have been the smallest moon we will be seeing in 2016, but the same can’t be said for the turnout for last nite’s sunset/fullmoon outing. We had eight paddlers show up at the ramp at J.J.Burns & launch right on time @7pm. Expectations were understandably low due to concerns about the North…
