  • @skibutts on how she found NYO:⁣ ⁣ Name: Carolyn Skeebs Skibbibity⁣⁣⁣ Hometown: Bronx, NY⁣⁣⁣ Occupation: Building places ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ “Five years back one of the coolest coworkers I’ve ever had organized an NYO corporate paddle on a Saturday morning. Those first 15 minutes on the water were pure magic. Canoeing had everything: sun, water, community, sweat, spectacular views of the city, more sweat. I had been let in on a secret and I was in love. Over the next few years I would bring anyone willing to wake up early on the weekend to the novice sessions with me. When I finally moved into the city 2 years ago I stalked the NYO page waiting for the first novice session of that season. I was so excited. After a beautiful sunny paddle I asked a familiar face from every novice session about membership - shout out to @nickwong133 ... and WHAM! Here I am.”
  • @suzzaphone says of our January Member of the Month: “Carolyn is fierce. So much so that she actually sleeps with one eye open. Yet despite her surly exterior she is a ferociously caring and compassionate creature.”
  • @skibutts is our January Member of the Month! Kama says, “Carolyn is a rock star. When I was struggling with boat ups, she was one of the first people in the water, teaching me the mechanics of boat ups. She never gave up on me and for that I’m grateful.”
  • It’s 2019! Wishing everyone a happy and healthy year full of love, joy, and many adventures!
  • Happy new year! 🎉🥂💖
  • As we celebrate the last day of 2018 today, our December member of the month, Michelle, shares with us a favorite memory from this year: Being part of the Na Pali campaign this year was one of the best paddling experiences I’ve had. It brought together a great group of people in the club on a 12 week journey to become better paddlers, and work towards a team goal. We learnt so much on the camp on Kauai, then put it together for a solid race along the spectacular Na Pali coast. The support and contribution from everyone both on the trip, back in NY, and watching on our live Instagram feed really made it for me.
  • Another look back with our Women’s Race Coach: ⁣ If you could have one superpower, what would it be:⁣ I’d be a polyglot and speak all the languages in the world so I can speak with everyone I meet⁣ ⁣ Favorite restaurant in NYC:⁣ It’s not a restaurant, but I do love sitting in the sun in the window of the bakery, Bien Cuit, on Smith St. in Brooklyn, eating a chocolate croissant and watching people cycle to work.⁣ ⁣ One thing you can't live without: Cheese!
  • Reminiscing with Michelle, our December Member of the Month: ⁣ ⁣⁣ When you're not out on the water paddling, where are we most likely to find you? ⁣⁣ Trail running in the forest (hopefully), behind my computer in the office (most likely)⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Last picture you took on your phone:⁣⁣⁣ I just finished a 3-day hike with Grant and my old housemate between two lighthouses on the South Coast (of New South Wales) to celebrate my birthday. This is a photo of our campsite on the last day looking out over the beach. About 30min later a huge storm rolled over.⁣ ⁣ Best place you’ve traveled to:⁣⁣⁣ Hiking through the Peloponnese of Greece – a stunning and rugged environment, fresh simple food, and welcoming people who took the time to chat with us and wish us well on our journey⁣⁣⁣.
  • #fbf with our December Member of the Month, Michelle: ⁣⁣ Something we don't know about you:⁣⁣⁣⁣ Every year I watch Love Actually before Christmas. It’s such a cheesy movie, but I love it!⁣ ⁣ Hidden talent:⁣⁣⁣⁣ Hosting communal meals… but perhaps not so hidden anymore!⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Last concert you went to:⁣⁣⁣⁣ The Eagles! (With my parents at Madison Square Garden!)⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Favorite show to binge watch:⁣⁣⁣⁣ I’m not a big tv-watcher, although I can spend hours on YouTube watching music videos⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Last song stuck in your head:⁣⁣⁣ Coldplay – A Sky Full of Stars (only because I was watching the music video…it’s set in Newtown, Sydney!)⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Your go-to karaoke song:⁣⁣⁣ Anyone where I can be part of the “choir” – standing behind the microphone is terrifying, but I don’t mind a group sing-a-long
