What to Bring and Wear You are welcome to just show up but we highly recommend you do have sunscreen on. We do have convenient add-ons to make your adventure smooth sailing (coolers with beverages and snacks, dry bags to protect your belongings, we even have towel rentals (Don't make mom have MORE laundry to do)! You can jump in the car leave the small stuff to us! Just please leave Sparky at home- NO DOGS ALLOWED!
Wear what makes you most comfortable. Feel free to paddle in your swim suit or board shorts with a top. Just know- you may fall off so be prepared! Some enjoy wearing hats, water shoes and sunglasses. You do you- but keep it comfy and simple! If you don't want to drive home wet, a change of clothes to leave in the car is a great idea!
RULES
ALWAYS- Wear your life vest. Every person MUST have on their PFD at all times.
ALWAYS- Wear your leash. This is your lifeline to your board. Winds and current can make your paddle board drift faster than you can swim!
NEVER- Blow your safety whistle unless there is an absolute emergency.
NEVER- let go of your paddle. These can sink and you WILL be forfeiting your deposit to cover a replacement.
ALWAYS- Stay away from the central waterways to avoid boaters. Larger vessels can not stop quickly and have limited visibility.
ALWAYS- pay attention to your surroundings. Be mindful and respectful of others on the water. Also be aware of tree stumps, rocks and other objects that may be in the way.
NEVER- jump off of your board without testing the depth of the water. Use your paddle to see if you can touch the bottom of the lake. Can't touch- cannon ball away! Can touch- slowly get off and plan to use your feet to stand safely.
ALWAYS- kneel when in doubt. Waves from boats, wind changes etc will cause your paddle to rock, stay safe by simply sitting or kneeling on your board for a break.
NO PETS- We absolutely love our furry family members too but please leave them at home. Their sharp nails may cause damage to the boards.
KIDS- We welcome all ages. Children under 18 yrs of age must be accompanied by an adult. Solo paddlers must be at least 5 yrs old. Ages 2-8 may ride tandem with an adult. Please no kids under the age of 2 yrs old.
