Tips & Advice
- Label your paddleboard and paddle with painter's tape to avoid sticky residue.
- Ensure your life vest is a vest-style PFD, as belt-style PFDs are not permitted.
- Arrive early for paddler check-in starting at 2:00 PM to get organized before the parade.
- Spectators can enjoy the event for free, making it a great outing for those not participating in the paddle.
- Bring your own SUP, kayak, or other self-powered aquatic vehicle; this is a parade, not a race.
