Welcome to the SOK website!

Southern Oregon Kayakers is a loose-knit paddlers group of all ages, skill levels, and preferred types of water. Most are kayak paddlers, both whitewater and flat water/ocean, but there are many rafters (we love our support rafts!), canoeists, and surfers. Many are invloved with more than one of these water sports.

Check out the SOK Forum, and the Resources, Gallery, and Links pages on this site. If you have something you'd like to contribute to these pages please e-mail the SOK web master.

We use e-mail, Facebook, and the SOK Forum as communication methods for arranging trips, pool sessions, and exchanging gear.

So get connected! Organize a paddling trip or event! Get together with other paddlers and have a fun and safe time on the water!

The following books are available:

Kayak

The Animated Manual of Intermediate and Advanced Whitewater Technique
By: William Nealy

Funny and very informative!

"I read this book and learned a ton of things that no one else had told me, or that I didn't understand when they did tell me. Everyone should read this book. It'll make you laugh, and might save your life. It will definitely make you a better paddler if you follow what Nealy teaches." ~ Pete
