Are you planning a trip to the beach or lake one last time before fall rolls in? If you’re looking for new activities to try to keep your family and friends entertained, consider trying a new water sport with a watercraft rental. Here are some fun water sports activities to try during your next trip to the beach.
Jet Skiing
Jet skis and other personal watercraft are popular beach and lakeside rentals. If you love boating, renting a jet ski is the perfect next step. With a jet ski, you can jump waves and make sharp, quick turns. Many people call jet skis the motorcycles of the watercraft world. Just make sure to check your state and local vacation area guidelines for licensing requirements and see what you need to ride legally.
Hydrofoil Surfing
Hydrofoil surfing uses a surfboard with an attached hydrofoil that extends into the water below. If you’ve never witnessed anyone use this surfing method before, it can look strange to see the surfboard sticking out of the water level. However, if you enjoy surfing and are looking for a unique water sport to try, hydrofoil surfing might be perfect for you. If you love hydrofoil during your test run and are interested in investing in your own board, you can learn how to build your own foil with customized measurements and parts.
Paddleboarding
If you’re looking for a more laid-back activity, try renting a paddleboard for your time on the water. Paddleboarding is essentially a combination of kayaking and surfing. With a stand-up paddleboard—or a SUP—you can stand and paddle leisurely across the water. Plus, paddleboards are extremely stable, to the point where you can even practice yoga and other stretches atop one. Look into the paddleboarding activities in your area if this sounds like the watercraft pastime for you.
Kayaking or Canoeing
Kayaking and canoeing are two of the most popular and relaxing watercraft activities, whether you’re visiting a beach, lake, river, or pond. You don’t need waves or deep water to enjoy kayaking to the fullest. Additionally, you can launch a kayak or canoe from almost any shoreline, making it accessible in a variety of areas. You can explore shallow or overgrown areas without having to worry about getting weeds caught in a propeller or other critical boating mechanisms. Try renting a kayak for yourself and exploring your local waterways.
Now is your chance to soak up the sun and get out on the water once more before the water temperature starts to drop for the year. Try these water sports activities during your next beach or lake trip before the fall.
