REI's Free Paddle Demo Days!

Whether you're a novice or a paddling pro, our Paddle Demo Days are a
great way to try out the latest boats and accessories for free!
- Test boats to see how they handle
- Get paddling tips from our staff and vendors
- Enjoy the fun with the whole family!
What to bring:
We'll provide the boats, personal flotation devices (PFDs) and paddles. All you need
to bring (or wear) is any clothing you don't mind getting wet. We also suggest you
bring a snack and water since these are not available in many parks.
The following items are also important when planning a day on the water:
- Lightweight windbreaker and sun hat
- Fleece top (just in case!)
- Sandals and paddling footwear
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen
- Dry change of clothes
