All of us here at San Juan Outfitters been having a ton of fun trying out our new equipment for rent-- a funky pedal-powered kayak and some paddle boards.
Our pedal-powered boat is really cute and colorful, with a bright teal sunshade. The two front seats have pedals, while the back seats are just for relaxing! There's also storage space both in the bow and stern. It's a great choice for families and groups of friends who want to tour the harbor and protected shores of the area in a low-key way, without getting too tired or wet.
The Stand Up Paddle boards (SUPs) are the new big thing to hit the U.S.. It's an emerging sport with roots in Polynesian culture, and SJO is excited to be bringing this new sport to San Juan Island. SUPs are essentially large surfboards upon which a paddler stands while using one single paddle to move around. These wide boards are extremely stable and their grippy surface allows for a super secure stance while you paddle. On these you can chill out and take it easy, or speed things up to get a great core and leg workout.
Of course we're still pleased to be renting out our sit-on-top (recreational) kayaks as well, so we're confidant that whatever your fancy, we've got something fun to suit your needs!
