Paddleboard features
You have two different paddleboards to choose from.
The Sicmaui hard board is always ready to use, fast, high-quality board. The board does NOT carry two people, but is very stable and easy to paddle.
The Deep Sea XXL inflatable board has a load capacity of 130 kg. In calm weather, it is possible to carry two people on the board within the maximum load capacity. The pressure of the inflatable board should be checked before going out into the water and, if necessary, pump more air into the board. You can also transport the inflatable board to another destination by car if you wish, but remember to reserve enough rental time.
You can choose between these two boards when you arrive at the rental point. There are always 4 hard boards ready, 2 inflatable boards. If you want more inflatable boards (3-10), please contact us in advance.
NOTE! Please enter the water via the pier or from the shore, stern first, to avoid damaging the paddleboard's fin.
What you need to bring
A trained paddler may not get wet while paddling, but falling off the board is always a possibility. So be prepared with swimsuits or a change of clothes.
The board is paddled barefoot or with swimming slippers, not shoes.
The rental includes a small dry bag for phones and keys, for example. The dry bag can be attached to the board's straps or a life jacket. A few dry bags that can be thrown over the shoulder are also available.

Cancellations
Paddling will be canceled for safety reasons if there is continuous heavy rain, thunderstorms or strong winds and waves. In these cases, we will contact you by email or phone. The payment will be refunded or the reservation will be moved to another date.
With the right equipment, paddling is fun in all weather conditions from spring to autumn. Cancellation is possible 7 days before the reservation date. Cloudy weather, etc., is not a reason to cancel the reservation. If the renter encounters an insurmountable obstacle, it is possible to request a change of the paddling date within the same calendar year.
