We can provide soft racks and straps, and show you how to do it yourself.

As each vehicle differs in shape and size, sometimes a board cannot be transported as originally planned, and an inflatable board inside your vehicle will be the only alternative.

We provide a board, paddle, one life vest and ankle leash.

We have a handful of youth life vests, but if paddling with a child in front, you must have a life vest for your child. We recommend bringing your child's vest if you have one. Usually they fit better!


If renting one of our Oru kayaks, rental includes a paddle and life vest, and any additional items to help you transport the kayak.

We have extra vests, but if we are fully booked, we may not have the ability to provide multiple life vests for a single rental. We appreciate your understanding on this matter. Please paddle safely!

There is no guarantee that personal items will be protected from water damage or the possibility of slipping off of the board, with this in mind we recommend that important items remain on shore.
