THE KIT

Turnkey Weeklong Gear

The package furnishes a paddleboard, paddle, lifejacket and ankle leash for the full seven-day rental period, letting you focus on time on the water rather than packing equipment.

THE WATERS

Explore Hatteras Island

A week gives paddlers the chance to sample the distinctive shoreline and waters of Hatteras Island—calm bays, inlets and open sound paddling are the backdrop for the rental experience.

THE TIMEFRAME

One-Week Reservations Only

Rentals are structured around a one-week period; reservations and delivery/pickup conveniences are tied to that weekly rental model.

What the day feels like

What a Week Feels Like

Seven days with a ready-to-go board means mornings and evenings on the water without repetitive gear logistics: launch, paddle familiar inshore lines and return the board at the end of the rental window. The included lifejacket and ankle leash keep the essential safety items paired with your board for the duration.
