Checklist for Paddling

Warm hat would be wise for an evening paddle in San Francisco.

What To Wear

San Francisco weather can change from cool morning to windy afternoon. Stay comfortable by wearing sunglasses, sun hat, sunblock, layering with t-shirt and wind jacket, quick drying pants or board shorts.


Additionally consider;

  • Casual attire and comfortable shoes. We launch from a dock, so you don't step into the water.
  • (Warm hat if evening or cold days.)
  • Extra clothing or pants in case you get wet.
  • Avoid heavy clothing that can soak the water.

Motion Sickness Prevention

Avoid being hungry or hung over. 

Sparkling water, antihistamine helps.

If sensitive, take a preventive (prescription) patch, Dramamine(over the counter), or ginger(often served with sushi).

Parking

Limited number of day parking permits are available for customers only at $20. You must check in to purchase the parking permit. Parking on the street and other parking lots are nearby, but give yourself extra time for before and after paddling.

Giants Game Days

McCovey Cove kayaking can be fun and loud. Large AM radio or headset will help you follow exciting moments during the ball game. Sorry no alcohol is allowed. Bring extra sun protection and sun block. Dress for the occasion- you may be seen on TV.

Leave Valuables

San Francisco has been inundated with auto break-ins. Do not leave anything or bag visible in the car, even in parking buildings. Luggage bags and laptops can be stored safely at City Kayak, either in the office or provided cubes.

Children And Pets

Children and pets may require additional time to get on the water. We provide life jackets from infant size and up. For dogs, x-small to X-large sizes are available.
