On the shallow edge of Kal Beach in Coldstream, Kalavida Surf Shop offers a deliberately uncomplicated way onto the water: self-inflating JOBE Manta floating mats that hook together and let you spend up to an hour lounging, swimming, tanning or playing mere steps from shore.

THE GEAR

JOBE Manta mats built for easy setup and connection

The Manta mats are purpose-built for casual water time: they feature four anchor points, a zipper that lets you link multiple mats together, and a self-inflating valve to speed setup.

THE SHORE

Feet-from-sand access at Kal Beach

Rentals are staged right at Kal Beach, so launch and landing are short walks — an asset when you want unfussy, immediate time on the water.

THE PACE

One hour of uncomplicated float time

The offering is intentionally brief and breezy: up to one hour on a floating mat is enough to lounge, sun, swim, or play without committing the afternoon.

What the day feels like

What it feels like on the water

Check in at the beach, pick a JOBE Manta and watch the mat pop to life—the self-inflating valve softens setup—then push out a few strokes and settle in. Link mats if you’ve brought friends, drift, splash and tan; the whole sequence is designed to be quick, simple and centered on easy fun at the shoreline.

Suitability

3
Solo relaxers and sunbathersIf you want a brief, low-effort float to read, sun or cool off, the one-hour rental is well suited to a solo escape.
4
Pet ownersNot a match: pets are not permitted on the rental floating mats.
