About

Thank you for Renting from Us!

We Will Be Meeting by Appointment at our Loading Station at 360 NW Vermont St. We do deliveries while you are out on the water, so make sure to coordinate your correct times to avoid last minute rebooking fees.

Just pull up to the parking spots facing the planters and kayak and we will load you up!

Rentals are picked up at the selected time and returned either by 5 :15 pm or the next day by 9:30 am. (You will text us at least an hour before you are ready to drop off so we can give you an exact location to meet us again.)

We will be happy to help you when you arrive with loading techniques and tips on where the best paddling spots are.

Descriptions:

  • 10 foot Inflatable NRS Paddle Board is slower but easier to turn. Good for beginners as they have a heavier paddle that is more forgiving to a little abuse.

  • 12 foot 6 inch Inflatable Kialoa Paddle Board is a little more stable for taller people and faster going straight with the trade off being a little longer for transport and slightly less maneuverable for turning. Better for larger paddlers and those looking for more speed on flat water going straighter and farther. Lightweight fiberglass paddle.

  • Jackson Riviera and Staxx Kayaks hold up to 325 pounds, are very stable and still maneuverable. Handles in the front and Back. Perfect for going across a lake and for rivers up to Class 2, and ideal for carrying a smaller child. Weight: 58 pounds 2 to 3 nest inside of each other for easy transport 11 feet 4 inches long and 10 feet 6 inches long

  • Tandem Kayak Cockpit or Sit on Top Style Tandem, nice for stability and crossing lakes.

Arrive Early to Avoid Crowds

Secure Your Rental Carefully

Ensure kayaks and paddleboards are properly loaded and tied down during transport to avoid damage.
