Paddlesports

Large Fleet of Kayaks & Standup Paddle Boards!

Members who are qualified will have 24/7 access to the Club Boatshed where self-serve sign-outs of the watercraft, paddles & PFD's are available. One very modest annual fee covers unlimited use of all the Boatshed watercraft & accessories.

Watercraft Usage Procedures

1) Float Plans:

• A float plan must be submitted and approved by the Paddlesports Captain prior to taking either a SUP or kayak on an overnight trip. 
• Float plans can be submitted by email to the Paddlesports Captain. Note that the float plan has fields for specific information like the kayak or SUP number; leave those fields as “tbd” when submitting the form in-advance, however, remember to record that specific information on the sign-out sheets in the paddlesports shed!
• Please ensure that your float plan has a point of contact who can be reached by the club if needed
• If you are unable to return the SUPs or kayaks as planned, advise the Paddlesports Captain ASAP

2) Availability of Watercraft for Local & Away Trips:

The kayaks and SUP's are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Be advised that on a hot summer weekend, you may find all the boats & boards already signed-out!

The Club currently has 9 SUP's and to ensure that members have a reasonable chance of having access to these fun paddleboards, we are limiting the "away" sign-outs as follows:

• Stand-Up Paddleboards:

  • A maximum of 2 SUP's are available to be taken away on multi-day trips; and
  • The maximum SUP booking is 7 days-in-a-row.
  • Members who wish to plan an away-trip should email a completed float plan (link above).  Once the maximum "2" SUP's are booked for "away" use, only local, day-use will be permitted.

• Kayaks:

  • There are currently no restrictions on the number of kayaks that can be used for multi-day trips.

3) Housekeeping Points for Using Club Watercraft:

• Personal Floatation Devices (PFD's) must be worn at all times;
• Only club members are allowed to use club equipment;
• Clean equipment with fresh water after use (there is a hose on the side of the kayak shed - the tap on the side of the main clubhouse adjacent the accessibility ramp may need to be turned-on);

• Wash kayaks inside and out. After draining the hatches, use the wet dry vacuum to remove any remaining water and sand. Leave kayak hatches open in the shed. 

• Please ensure that inflatable SUPs are fully inflated when returned to the shed.
