All manner of people-powered watercraft are welcome at Sunday’s Paddle Out Party, said event co-chair and 1977 World Surfing Champion Shaun Tomson.

“Grab a surfboard, kayak, SUP, canoe ― anything that floats,” said Tomson, who will join the group launch from Leadbetter Beach. “Or throw on a bikini or Speedo. Just get out there!”

The third year of the annual event, a benefit for the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, is a chance to not only enjoy some fresh air, food, and music, he explained, but also to show gratitude for the small but mighty museum located in the heart of the Santa Barbara Harbor.
