What the day feels like

What it feels like

The outing is short, sharp, and centered on motion: a 75-minute window to learn the controls, find a comfortable pace, and run open water outside Lazaretto Creek while the Coskspur Island Lighthouse passes in and out of view. Professional staff handle equipment and safety so riders can focus on the ride.
