About

Thank you for Renting from Us!

We will meet you at 360 NW Vermont St. Please be there at your appointment time, as we may be at the river doing a delivery at different times of the day. We run gear around all summer!

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

2 Day Rentals are picked up at the selected time to be returned within 48 Hours. (You will text us at least an hour before you are ready to drop off so we can have staff ready to meet you 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 Sit on Top Style Tandem, nice for stability and swimming while crossing lakes.
