Before Paddle Preparation
- Kayak Tour
- One kayak per adult (up to two adults for tandem ‘yaks & SUPs) and/or solo boats for children or youths, plus riders.
- Casual Kayaker Staff will pick a PFD and paddle based for each paddler based on their provided information.
- Kayak Demo (Equipment Tryout & Demonstration)
- We will bring more kayaks than paddlers and or several different kayaks (depending on group size) to tryout and paddle around so the paddlers can figure out which kayak features and boat types they like.
- Multiple paddles and PFDs can also be brought to tryout different styles and specifications of those as well.
- Kayak Combo Demo and Tour
- The beginning of the trip will be trying out different equipment, then once settled on a set (Kayak, Paddle, PFD), then tour for the duration.
- Standup Paddleboard (SUP) Tour
- One SUP per paddler (except for tandem ‘yaks) plus children as riders (not to exceed maximum SUP weight capacity)
- SUP Demo (Equipment Tryout & Demonstration)
- Will bring a variety of SUPs for paddlers to tryout and paddle so the paddlers can figure out which features and SUP types they like.
- Multiple paddles and PFDs can also be brought to tryout different styles and specifications of those as well.
- SUP Combo Demo and Tour
- The beginning of the trip will be trying out different equipment, then once settled on a set (SUP, Paddle, PFD), then tour for the duration.
- Kayak & SUP Demo (Equipment Tryout & Demonstration)
- Will bring multiple kayaks and SUPs to tryout and paddle around near the launch location so the paddlers can figure out which features and boat types they like.
- Multiple paddles and PFDs can also be brought to tryout different styles and specifications of those as well.
- We do not typically offer a long tour option with a mix of SUPs and Kayaks due to the speed differences between the two – a slow paddle is a good option assuming the group is willing to stay together.
