Come join us for a day of splashing around in 2009’s hottest new boats and paddling accessories. Paddlers of all skill levels are invited to participate in this FREE paddling event hosted by REI staff and our vendors. We’ll provide boats, paddles and PFD’s (Personal Flotation Devices).

You will just need your personal necessities, shoes that can get wet and the willingness to try something new. We also suggest you bring a snack and water as food is not available at Sunset Lake. And best of all, the whole day if FREE!

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

All attendees will receive one coupon for 15% off the purchase of a new boat, plus receive 20% off paddles and PFD’s at the time of boat purchase only. Restrictions apply, see a sales specialist for details.

What to Expect: Arrive early. There is limited parking, and there is a possibility of a full lot. Please carpool if you can. Parking is FREE but space will be limited, so plan to arrive early.

This FREE Paddle Demo allows participants to try out a boat or two for 15-20 minutes on the water. There is no obligation to purchase. If you are interested in spending a longer time on the water, kayak rentals are available through the Hingham store.
