August 20th - 6:00pm!
Arrive Early
Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before launch for check-in, parking, and a quick gear fit; restrooms are onsite at McDanel's Boat Launch.
Dress to Dry
Wear quick-dry layers and bring a towel and spare clothes—you'll stay mostly dry but may sit or kneel on the board.
Watch Wind Conditions
Evening winds can make flat-water SUP challenging; the guide may adapt the session if conditions pick up—be prepared for a shore-based sound bath if needed.
Bring a Water Bottle
Hydration matters even at sunset—pack a refillable bottle stored securely on your board or left on shore.
Quick-dry clothing
Moves with you on the board and dries quickly if you get splashed.
Personal flotation device (PFD) / life jacket
Often provided, but bring your own for best fit and safety.
Water shoes or sandals
Protect feet on the launch ramp and make re-boarding easier.
Light insulating layer
A thin fleece or wind layer is useful for cooler evenings after the session.
