• There are NO restrooms at this location. The closest public bathrooms are at the Pearl Brewery. Please plan accordingly and allow extra time before your rental if you might need to us the bathroom.

• Parking is NOT included in the price of the rental. Parking is available under the I35 Bridge on Camden Street or at the Pearl Brewery.

• Please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled rental so that you can sign waivers and be fitted for your life jacket! Make sure you factor in the drive time, traffic downtown, time it will take to find parking, and the walk from the parking lot to the put in. If you are not on time we will NOT hold the kayaks/SUPs for for you and the kayaks/SUPs could be given to someone else who IS on time! If this happens you will NOT receive a refund for being late.

• No beer or alcohol are allowed while paddling on the river. If you chose to break this rule the SA Police, in their motor boats, will arrest you for a BWI (Boating while intoxicated) and its as expensive and has the same consequences as a DWI!

• If you show up intoxicated or under the influence you will NOT be allowed on the water and you will NOT receive a refund.

• Once you are seated in the kayak or are on the SUP you are not permitted to get out of the kayak or off the SUP until you are done with your rental and are back at the rental dock. This means that you CANNOT dock the kayak/SUP along the riverwalk and get out to go shopping, have breakfast/lunch, have a drink, or any other land based activity. (These activities can be done once your rental is finished).

• We have a limited number of 2 person kayaks (Tandem kayaks). If you need a tandem kayak we suggest you book early. There are NO two person SUPs.

• City maintenance barges and the Go Rio river taxi may be present on the river. If they are you MUST move to the side of the river (against the concrete walls of the river) and allow them to pass. This is for your safety… kayaks are hard to see and the barges are NOT easily maneuvered. So the right-of-way aways goes to the barges.

• You must wear a lifejacket (PFD) at all times and it must be securely buckled the entire time you are in the kayak. The use of a life lifejacket (PFD) is included in the rental price. If you have your own coastguard approved lifejacket (PFD) feel free to bring it and use it. The river police will ticket you and escort you back to the dock if you do not have your lifejacket (PFD) on and buckled. Tickets are expensive!!
