Yes, equipment specifications control the weight criteria. Kayaks, no more than 320 pounds per person per single seated kayak. Double seated or Tandem kayaks have a 400lb maximum weight limit with both individuals riding together. Our insurance company prohibits us from allowing any child under the age of 13 to use any equipment without adult supervision. There are no upper age limits, but recommend that you consult your doctor before any strenuous exercise if you have serious health concerns.
Yes of course; however, all children under the age of 13 may only use the equipment with direct parental supervision. And No child under 18 may ever be left unattended (no "dropping off" of children or teens ever). This is not only unsafe, but often causes negative issues for our other guests and our staff.
Our Membership Activation and Processing Fee is only $100, which is far less than any club with our type of easy-to-use benefits. The convenience of no cost, no storing, no cleaning, no fixing, no loading and no unloading and storing of equipment. Our costs of member fullfilling equipment needed for all of customers is expensive in purchasing, maintenance and storage. The activation fee allows us to ensure we have a proper amount of equipment for all of our guests and members. Further, it requires additional costs in staffing employees at our locations especially on slow days when we only have a few pieces of equipment rented out or just a minimal number of members visiting that day.
Yes, however there are a limited number of memberships in order to ensure that members have plenty of availability of club resources. Memberships are billed monthly from the first of the month with the first month being billed upfront. Thus, if you joined on the fifteenth of the month, you would only pay the pro-rata portion of your first month plus your applcation fee only.
