Yes, we are paddling group in Northern California who call themselves Penguin Paddlers. We were founded in 2003. Mostly adults who like to paddle on lakes, calm rivers and the ocean. Our current group is around 650 strong (between Sacramento & Redding) and we have about five scheduled paddles each week. We also take multi-day road trips once a month to locations all over the west. We have group meetings each month to discuss and plan where we would like to go. Everything we do as a group is voluntary and free and our schedule can be found at: http://www.penguinpaddlers.com
