All hires include buoyancy aid, paddle and dry bag. Full day paddleboard hires also include a bag and hand pump. Extras for an additional fee include wetsuit trousers, an electric paddleboard pump, soft roof rack and C-Tug kayak trolleys.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Many in land lochs on Lewis can be good places for beginner paddlers because there are no tides and currents. But they can be very cold and windy. When there is wind, it can be challenging for paddlers to get back to their starting area. If in doubt don't go out. The sea is less suitable for beginners. Grey Goose Kayaks is an unsupervised, hire only service. There is no instruction, guiding and no rescue boat is provided.
