Where do we meet?
- We'll meet you at our kiosk location, Independence Park in Beverly. If you're using a GPS, you can use 33 Lothrop Street as an address. There is free on street parking at and near the park. If it's a weekend, make sure to save a little extra time to find parking. Please plan on arriving five to ten minutes ahead of time and ready to go so we can make sure to get you on the water as quickly as possible!
What should I wear?
- Anything you are comfortable (potentially) getting wet. Most people choose to wear either just a swim suit, board shorts, or active wear, such as shorts and a tanktop or t-shirt
Should I wear shoes?
- Most people choose to go barefoot while on the board, but we do recommend wearing a flip flop or water shoe to protect your feet while walking to the water over rocks or shells. You are more than welcome to wear shoes while on the board, or you can stash them under the deck bungees.
What else do I need to bring with me?
- It's a great idea to bring water and sunscreen, as well as a snack if you will be out for multiple hours. Other than that, keep a towel in your car for when you're done, and enjoy the simplicity of being on the water.
