About Oceanport Paddle Club
Oceanport Paddle Club is the heart of the river—founded and run by Oceanport local Chris Macioch, a technology teacher of 25 years, surf instructor, river guide, and endurance paddler who has completed multiple Xtreme charity paddles, including a 30-mile journey from Oceanport to Battery Park and several SEA Paddle NYC circumnavigations of Manhattan. What started as a simple love for being on the water has grown into a family-powered community hub supported by Chris’s wife Jen, their kids Drew, Cameron, and Christian, and the club’s unofficial mascot, Sam, who greets paddlers like old friends. Whether you’re here for a peaceful paddle, a family adventure, or a full-blown summer experience, OPC delivers positive vibes, expert instruction, and a welcoming community built on passion, resilience, and a whole lot of heart.
