A big thanks to Jim for starting this group and for everyone that has taken a part in promoting and continuing the organization.  I'm going to apply myself to this task as much as my time permits in order to promote kayak fishing in the OC area as well as the rest of Southern California.  I'll tell you a bit about myself. I am 60 years old, a dentist with a panoply of interests.  Amongst these is kayak fishing.  I have been involved in the sport for approximately five years and it has been a tho …

I created this group, because I wanted to create a new, fun, and exciting way to get in phenomenal shape in a way that's never been done. Many years ago, I authored the weight loss programs and educational courses for the fitness equipment company behind the show, "The Biggest Loser." The programs were so incredibly effective that I wanted to find a better way to share it to the world. That's when I had an idea... Create a group exercise class for adults in a gymnastics center! That's right! …

Decided to do something or go somewhere fun at the last minute? You're gonna do it alone anyways, so why not post it here to see if other interested spontaneous members can join in. It's always more fun to do things with buddies or a companion. Post your planned or last minute event in as little time as couple hours before and be specific. Examples: I'm going fishing at 5pm at the Balboa pier for couple hours to see if I get a catch. Look for a brown guy with gray t-shirt and yellow shorts sta …

Welcome THE FUN HAS JUST BEGUN You want to know why I decided to start this group because I was finding groups that would start off great, but then fizzle out. The reason I noticed, was that almost all the groups are way too specialized.  I wanted a young adult group where people meetup, make friends or more, exchange ideas and we do it.  So the point is do something either fun, exciting, wild, new, whatever. We aim to be active, outdoorsy, adventurous, and social. Whether it is , hiking excursi …

Not necessarily, the boat owners may let you use his/her stuff or you can ask someone else who will be on …

The Left Bank gathers people who share a love for wilderness, music and progressive thought. We organize a variety of activities such as hiking and camping in Southern California, acoustic music jams, coffee breaks (somewhat reminiscent of "Rive Gauche" café life in Paris), movies, concerts, parties, political and environmental activism, therapy exchange, workshops and lectures.  The Left Bank is a refuge for grassroots progressives, liberals, socialists, anarchists and environmentalists who wis …

Here in the OC, our "Fast-Paced" & "Activity-Packed" lifestyle makes the command to "Love One Another" a challenge... am I right? Who has time to do everything that is expected of us: work, chores, church, school, kid's activities, personal & community responsibilities, etc… and still walk as Jesus did?  Was he wrong when Jesus said "My yoke is easy, my burden is light?" (Matt 11:30) I don't think so!! With a little conviction, some effort, and today's social media tools... we can turn "Challeng …

I shall not update this! (Beyond this update). Many magical secrets lay before you should you choose to go on an adventure with us. Traveler, Beware! For this group may not be what it appears! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Our original manifesto: Hello there.. I know it's cold out but I want to start getting together a group of people that are interested in hiking (with a twist). When I visited my friend in Amsterdam we went on shrooming hikes. I really enjo …

The purpose of OC Very Taiwanese Meetup Group is to have fun and meet new friends of the same Taiwanese background. A way to enhance Taiwanese or Taiwanese American community in Orange County.

This is a group for midlife women interested in learning "all things equestrian". You're not required to own a horse to join- in fact, this group is designed to support horse enthusiasts who are exploring different ways to make horses a part of their lives. I started this group because I wanted to meet other women who are just now learning to ride- as well as women who have been involved with horses for some time and would like to meet with others who share this passion. We'll meet once a month …

This is a group for people in their 20's and 30's who are interested in hiking, rock climbing, camping, kayaking, bouldering, etc. All skills levels are welcome (some experience preferred). I started this group to meet other outdoor enthusiasts in hopes of finding some hardcore hikers/backpackers. Looking forward to exploring the outdoors with a tight group of all around great people. While day hikes are and will be the start of this group, and possibly the most common type of hike in the beginn …
