What can I bring with me on a kayak?

• Water
• Sunscreen
• Waterproof Camera
• Flip Flops or Water Shoes
• Any medication that might be needed during the trip
• Pack a light snack if you’re diabetic or have any other medical conditions
• We provide dry bags for your keys and cell phone.  Although we recommend leaving valuables in the car.

More Recommendations for Kayaking Rentals & Tours:

• Towels for the car
• A change of clothes if you plan on going anywhere afterwards
• Always eat before you go paddling as you’ll burn lots of calories paddling in the sun and you need energy.
• Show up hydrated.
• Avoid heavy drinking the evening prior to your paddling trip.  We’ve had many guests that struggle with hydration after an evening out.
• If you’re enjoying the beach and other outdoor activities remember your sunscreen.  Sunburn can make other outdoor activities unbearable afterwards.

Kayaking Tours and Rentals Include Everything You Needed

Kayaking Tours and Kayak Rentals include all water sports equipment and safety equipment needed.  Before kayaking, our staff reviews a paddling map of the area.  Additionally, our guides and staff will provide you with water safety information.  During a kayaking land lesson, you can expect to learn about boating lanes, paddling hazards, and tips for padding.

Important Recommendations for Paddling with Medical Conditions

Additionally SUP Englewood recommends guided tours with a certified instructor in water safety for anyone with a medical diagnosis that poses a safety risk while on the water.

For example, medical conditions include:

• Diabetes
• Hypoglycemia
• Seizure disorders
• History of fainting
• Asthma
• Insect Allergies

Moreover, anything that can cause you lose consciousness on the water is a serious risk to your safety.  Please inform our staff so we can assist you in booking the best and safest experience for you.
