What to expect
Ten single paddleboard rentals to use whenever you like across the season, at a lower rate than booking one at a time. There’s no need to schedule them up front — turn up when the forecast looks good and use a ride. It also makes a straightforward gift for someone who keeps saying they should get out on the water more.
Where you’ll launch
We’re on Kew-Balmy Beach in Toronto’s Beaches neighbourhood, just east of the tennis courts. Launching straight off the sand means you’re on Lake Ontario within minutes of checking in — no roof racks, no portaging, no long walk to the water.
What to wear and bring
Wear something you don’t mind getting wet: shorts and a t-shirt, a tank top, yoga pants or swimwear all work well. Bring a towel, sunscreen, water and a change of clothes. Leave anything you’d hate to drop in the lake in the car.
Good to know before you book
All paddlers must be 18 or older and sign a waiver before heading out. Weekends fill up quickly, so booking ahead beats turning up and hoping. If there’s thunder or lightning we’ll ask you to rebook, and we sometimes close in high winds — conditions on the lake can differ a lot from conditions on shore, so call us at 416-553-4067 before you set out if the weather looks uncertain.
