Checklist for Paddling

---

San Francisco weather often changes from cool morning to hot lunch time, followed by windy afternoon. Sun glasses, sun hat, sunblock, layering with t-shirt and wind jacket, quick drying pants or board shorts help you stay comfortable.

Additionally consider;

• Casual attire and comfortable shoes- we launch from a dock, so you don't step into water.
• Warm hat for evening events.
• Extra clothing or pants in case you get wet.
• Avoid heavy clothing that can soak the water.

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).

Limited number of day parking permits are available for $20. You must check in to purchase the parking permit. Parking on the street and other parking lots are nearby, but give yourself at least an hour extra in addition to your excursion time.

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.

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 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.
