“Hey, what are all those kayaks doing on trailers?”
Oh, just your local Suntrail team doing our annual migration to the water! Every May, we load up a flotilla of kayaks and head to the river—not just to get hyped for paddle season (though let’s be honest, it totally works), but so YOU can try out some boats without lifting a single strap, tie-down, or rental fee.Try Before You Buy... Or Just Paddle Around for Fun!
Curious about kayaks? Thinking of upgrading? Want to know what it’s like to paddle something that isn’t the sketchy old kayak from the cottage? This is your chance!
- Totally free
- All questions answered by our knowledgeable (and slightly sunburned) staff—both on land and in the water
A Few Friendly Rules for the Event:
- We limit test paddles to 5–10 minutes per boat, just so everyone gets a fair go.
- Stick close to shore—this is a demo, not a personal paddle adventure.
- Call ahead if there’s a specific kayak you're dying to try. Give us some notice—we’ll have the trailers packed by the day before.
No reservations needed—just show up with your enthusiasm (and maybe a towel?).
See you on the water! 🌊
