Everything you need is provided
The operator supplies kayaks or paddleboards, paddles and life jackets in sizes ranging from child to adult XXXL so you do not need to bring flotation or primary paddling equipment.
Staff supervision from shore
Groups are required to stay within eyesight of the Zephyr Point docks so a staff member can ensure safety from the shore while participants are on the water.
