Adventure Tips
Check Wind Conditions Before Booking
The quality of waves depends heavily on wind patterns; plan your session during steady, moderate wind for the best experience.
Wear Synthetic or Quick-Dry Clothing
Opt for clothing that dries fast and offers UV protection since you'll be on the water for over an hour.
Bring Polarized Sunglasses
Polarized lenses reduce glare off the lake’s surface, improving visibility and comfort while paddling.
Stay Hydrated
Pack a small water bottle or hydration pack; even cooler lakeside weather can dehydrate you quickly during active paddling.
