Paddling-Up Partnerships

Connecting Community • Supporting Small Business

We believe outdoor fun should ripple through the whole community. That’s why we've launched our Paddle Up Partnership — a collaboration between our kayak rental business and local spots we love.


We don’t just send people down the river — we send them into town hungry, happy, and ready to explore. By partnering with nearby restaurants, cafés, breweries, shops, and attractions, we help turn a day on the water into a full local adventure.


Each renter we send your way is another chance to grow your customer base, increase foot traffic, and build brand love — all while we promote your business online, through social media, and with every renter we meet.


Our goal is to encourage renters to stay longer, eat local, and explore the area—driving traffic directly to you. Whether you’re a café, hotel, brewery, or shop—we’re open to creative ideas and collaborations!


Because when we support each other, the whole community can feel the wave.
