Full Moon Glow Paddle: A Nighttime Paddle Social on Mission Bay
Light up your board and paddle out under the full moon for a warm-summer-night social on Mission Bay — with the SeaWorld drone show as your backdrop. Friday, August 28.
There are few better ways to spend a warm summer night in San Diego than out on the water — and the Full Moon Glow Paddle from SunChaser SUP turns that into a whole vibe. It's a laid-back nighttime paddle social on Mission Bay: everyone lights up their boards, launches together, and glides across the glassy bay under the full moon. This one's Friday, August 28, 2026, with a 7:30 p.m. meet-up and a 7:45 p.m. launch from Bahia Point — perfectly timed so you're on the water for the SeaWorld drone show at 8:45 p.m.

Good to Know
- You must bring a light for your board — headlamps, glow sticks, or flashlights all work. The brighter you glow on the water, the better (and the safer).
- Rentals are $30, or bring your own board for free.
- Reserve ahead online — it's a social paddle, and spots are limited.
- Dress for a night on the bay — a warm layer for after dark, and shoes you don't mind getting wet.
- You should be comfortable in the water — it's a nighttime paddle, so basic paddling comfort and the ability to swim go a long way.
It's a genuinely magical, only-in-San-Diego kind of night — the moon, the glow, the drone show, and a friendly crew out on the bay. Want the full rundown on SunChaser's classes and paddles? See our guide to SunChaser SUP on Mission Bay, or browse the full event calendar.
