Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Malibu Solo Series — Comfort Built In

The single-person Malibu features an AirGo™ molded-in seat and seat pad with an adjustable AirComfort™ backrest, molded foot wells and calf rests for roomy leg positioning — comfort features that keep solo paddlers focused on the water, not their seat.

THE DESIGN

Stable, Agile 11.5' Hull

A super-stable 11.5' hull gives the Malibu series a forgiving platform: compact and stackable yet agile enough for easy paddling and straightforward handling on seaside waters.

THE PRACTICAL

Flexible Rental Windows

Rentals are flexible: the offering covers short two-hour outings up through multi-day rentals of up to five days, letting you tailor the time on the water to a quick spin or an extended beachside exploration.

What the day feels like

What the Rental Feels Like

This is a solo, comfort-first paddle: you climb into a compact Malibu, settle into the AirGo™ seat, adjust the AirComfort™ backrest, and spend your booked window — from a focused two-hour loop to several days — cruising Seaside Park’s nearshore water in a stable, easy-to-manage hull designed to keep the session relaxed and fun.
