This is vehicle-dependent. We can provide cam straps to secure the SUP or Kayak to the roof of a car, but suggest having a towel or two to protect the car from any potential scratches.

Insert 90’s pop song – “If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.” We encourage everyone to bring layers, even on a hot summer day you never know how the weather will change. Bring snacks and beverages, as you will always want to stay on the water longer than planned. We offer dry bags to put layers and snacks in while you are on the water.
