About Our Rentals
Kayak Rentals
We have a fleet of kayaks for rent which consist of sit on top kayaks and sit inside kayaks. We recommend sit on top kayaks for those with less experience. When kayaking on the Columbia River the wind and weather can change dramatically. It is safest to be in the sit on top kayak because if it was to flip you are easily able to upright the kayak and climb aboard to continue your journey. When using a sit inside kayak if you were to flip, the kayak must then be swam or towed to shore and water emptied out. With 10+ years of kayak rental experience we have perfected the style and models of kayak in our fleet to best fit our customers.
Stand Up Paddleboard Rentals
We have the most wind protected launch spot in Hood River for Stand Up Paddleboard Rentals. Our fleet is perfect for beginner and intermediate paddleboarders. We work closely with Pure Stoke retail store to stay up to date with the latest and greatest boards and technology. SUP has developed rapidly and we have enjoyed growing with the sport. We have 30 paddleboards in our fleet so bring all your friends along and enjoy a great activity in Hood River.
