  Kayaks must be rented in order to use them overnight or for trips that don't originate at the JSCA. Please confirm rental availability by contacting the Kayak Director at kayaking@clublocarno.com or on the Club Locarno slack channel. 

  A craft can be rented for up to ten days, and rentals are limited to one per member and four boats at any one time.  Double kayaks are available to one member and a guest. You take full responsibility for loss and damage when you rent gear from the club.  More details on rentals can be found here.
  Rentals are on a first-come, first served basis according to registration date.  Lessons and other club events have priority over rentals, so please check the calendar for scheduled lessons and checkouts when planning your trip.

  Boats cannot be reserved ahead of time so you should plan on picking up the boat(s) of choice either at dusk of the evening prior to rental or early on the day of the rental (particularly important if you are relying on a double). Ensure you have appropriate gear to transport the boats safely.  There are some foam blocks and straps in the kayak shed.

  Craft signout: When you pickup your rental boat, you must sign out the boat under Rentals on the Craft Signout including the date and estimated time of return. Please do NOT sign out a rental craft until you pick it up.

  Once the Kayak Director has confirmed your rental you will be  you will be given a rental code to complete your booking.

  We encourage all kayak renters to participate in the BC Marine Trails Coastal Caretakers program for site cleaning and reporting.  We also recommend reviewing the Respectful Recreation video produced by the Nanwakolas Council in the event you land on any unceded first nations territories.

  Fall work party to carry out repairs, maintenance and prepare the SUPs, kayaks and related gear for the winter. As a joint SUP & kayak event, if you are a member of both fleets, you’ll be fulfilling two volunteer duties at once! Some things we can do:

  • wash and clean all the SUPs and kayaks
  • • inspect craft to see if repairs needed
    • make any simple repairs
  • Organize all SUP & kayak equipment in the kayak shed
  • • paddles
    • leashes
    • PFDs
    • Hatch covers etc.

  Great opportunity to get together with other club members and chat about the  outings and trips you've had this year.

  Please register if you'd like to come and help keep the fleets in good repair. 

  Weather permitting - if it's miserable we will postpone - check the Kayaking and SUP Slack Chat channel for last minute updates.

  P.S. We have a food budget: If someone would like to help organize a social and food after the work party, let me Mark or Gay know.
