Two-Hour SUP Rental in East Hampton — For Skilled Paddlers Only.
Paddle Diva’s Two Hour SUP Rental drops experienced paddlers onto East Hampton’s open water with a single, focused mandate: explore confidently while following clear safety rules. The program is designed for people who already know how to handle a board on land and sea, and it pairs brief freedom on the water with firm requirements around equipment, timing and equipment inspection.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Built for Experienced Paddlers
Rentals are available only to paddlers who can control a board on land and water, paddle forward, turn and return to a spot, and handle wind — a policy that keeps sessions efficient and safe.
Mandatory Safety Gear and Timekeeping
Paddle Diva enforces a strict list of required equipment — leash, life belt or life vest for those who need it, and a watch to track time on the water — to ensure paddlers remain safe and within rental limits.
Inspect Before Launch, Expect Post-Rental Checks
Renters must inspect boards prior to departure; Paddle Diva checks boards on return and levies a damage fee for dings to keep equipment serviceable for all customers.
What the day feels like
What the Two-Hour Rental Feels Like
The two-hour rental is a concentrated, independent run: you launch with a board you have inspected, spend focused time exploring the water while monitoring your elapsed time, and return for a post-rental check. It’s freedom for paddlers who don’t need instruction, delivered with clear guardrails around safety and equipment care.
