Pickleball has been sweeping the nation for the last few years, growing bigger and bigger and bigger as more people get out there and find their places on the ever-growing number of courts. 

But where to pickleball in Humboldt? What’s the scene like at those spots?

Until now, we lacked a comprehensive all-in-one guide to answer these questions. But no longer! Now steps forward YouTuber @Junnyinthesun — a very friendly, welcoming narrator — to show you what’s happening at each of Humboldt County’s pickleball spots. Did you know they’re even pickling it up down in Shelter Cove?

Junny makes use of beautiful video, some of which was shot by Friend o’ the LoCO Rowdy Kelley, and all of which shows a surprisingly huge number of people getting down on courts around the county.

You no longer have any excuse to not pickleball.

And join the Humboldt County Pickleball Facebook group, which includes awesome fun memes, scene reports from traveling Humboldt County pickleballers, video of someone playing glow-in-the-dark pickleball at nighttime at a local court and — true to pickleball’s reputation as the most community-minded of all pastimes — local ballers offering big ups to one another for their successes off the court, or GoFundMe links for pickleballers who have suffered setbacks.
