Frequently asked questions

What gear do I need for paddleboarding?

To have a safe and enjoyable paddleboarding experience, there are several essential items you should bring or rent:

  1. Paddleboard:The most important piece of equipment, your paddleboard should be suited to your skill level and intended activity. Beginners often prefer wider, more stable boards, while experienced paddlers may choose narrower boards for speed and performance.

  2. Paddle:A lightweight, adjustable paddle is essential for efficient paddling. Make sure the paddle is the right height for your comfort and ease of use. Rental shops typically provide paddles along with boards.

  3. Life Jacket (PFD):A U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device (PFD) is required by law. Choose a comfortable, low-profile life jacket specifically designed for paddle sports to ensure safety without restricting movement.

  4. Leash:A leash attaches to your ankle or calf and keeps you connected to your board in case you fall off. This is especially important in open water, where currents can quickly carry the board away.

  5. Dry Bag:A waterproof dry bag is ideal for storing personal items such as your phone, wallet, keys, and snacks. Many bags have straps that attach securely to your paddleboard.

  6. Sunscreen and Sunglasses:Protect yourself from the sun’s rays with water-resistant sunscreen, and consider wearing polarized sunglasses with a retention strap to reduce glare and protect your eyes.

  7. Water Shoes or Sandals:These provide grip and protect your feet when launching or landing on rocky or uneven shores. Many paddleboarders also go barefoot for a better feel on the board.

  8. Hydration and Snacks:Bring a reusable water bottle and energy-packed snacks to stay hydrated and fueled during your session, especially if you plan to paddle for an extended period.

  9. Whistle:A small whistle is often required as a safety signal device and can be attached to your PFD for emergencies.

  10. Weather-Appropriate Clothing:Wear quick-drying, water-resistant clothing or a wetsuit if the water or weather is cold. Layers are a good idea in Seattle’s variable climate, and a lightweight jacket can protect you from wind or drizzle.

Having the right gear ensures a safe and enjoyable experience while exploring Seattle’s stunning waterways.

Are there wildlife encounters while paddleboarding?

Yes! You might see seals, sea otters, and even porpoises or whales depending on where you are paddling. On lakes, you’ll often spot ducks, herons, and other birds.

Can I rent a paddleboard for multiple days?

Yes! We offer overnight, weekend, and even weekly rental options.

Do I need experience to try paddleboarding?

No! Paddleboarding is beginner-friendly, and many local rentals offer lessons or tips for first-timers.

What should I wear for paddleboarding?

Wear comfortable, quick-drying clothing or a swimsuit. Water shoes are helpful, and a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are recommended for sunny days.

Is a deposit required to rent a paddleboard?

Yes, a deposit of $200 is required for renting a paddleboard. This deposit ensures that the rental equipment is returned in good condition. The deposit is fully refundable upon the return of the paddleboard.

Can I rent multiple life jackets for a group?

Yes, you can definitely rent multiple life jackets for your group. This ensures everyone in your group is safe and compliant with local water safety regulations.

Whether you're planning a kayaking trip on Lake Washington, a stand-up paddleboarding adventure on Lake Union, or a leisurely float down the Snohomish River, having the right safety gear is essential.

Do you offer inflatable paddleboards for easier transport?

Yes, we do offer inflatable paddleboards for rent. These are a great option for those who want a portable and easy-to-transport SUP. They can be easily deflated and stored in a backpack, making them perfect for travel and storage.

Do you provide life jackets with the paddleboard rental?

No, life jackets are not included in our paddleboard rentals. However, we do offer Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) or life jackets for rent. It's crucial to prioritize safety on the water, so we strongly recommend renting a life jacket along with your paddleboard.

Are different sizes of paddleboards available for rental?

Yes, we offer different sizes of standup paddleboards (SUPs). This ensures that paddlers of all ages and skill levels can find the right board for their needs.

Common SUP sizes include:

  • All-Around Boards:

    Versatile boards suitable for both flat water and small waves.

  • Performance Boards:

    Designed for experienced paddlers who prioritize speed and maneuverability.

  • Inflatable SUPs:

    Portable and easy to transport, ideal for those with limited storage space.
