Please Respect Our Equipment:
We offer our premium Palli Paddle Board gear for all our rentals, guided tours, and experiences. Please make sure when starting or finishing your paddling, you are doing so in knee to waist-high water. This ensures that the board isn't touching the bottom and keeps our equipment in great shape for the next paddler. Carbon paddles are delicate and designed only for water. Please do not use them to push off rocks or other hard surfaces. If any gear is lost or broken, the cost to replace them is charged to the customer.
