Paddle Board & Kayak

Paddle Board & Kayak

If you have ever wanted to lose (or find) yourself, paddle boarding on the lake is a great way to do both. Head out early while the clear blue waters of the lake are calm and inviting. Rentals are available at local rental shops around the lake. We recommend reserving a board early to ensure availability. Guided trips are also a great way to learn the sport while providing a safe environment for you and your family. Why not try a transparent kayak and really see Lake Tahoe! Lather on the sunscreen, buckle up your life vest, and head on out for a one of a kind Xperience.
