Paddle Out Tribute

Hosted by the Key West Parrot Head Club

Join the Key West Parrot Head Club for a meaningful Paddle Out—a floating, on-the-water tribute honoring the life, music, and legacy that brings us all together.

Rooted in surf culture, a paddle out is a simple but powerful ceremony. Participants head out beyond the shoreline on boards, kayaks, or anything that floats, gathering together on the water to form a circle. There, the group shares a moment—through silence, stories, reflection, or song—before releasing flowers or ocean-friendly offerings into the water.
