What We Provide

Bellingham Canoe Kayak has a small fleet of four high-performance surfskis from Epic, Think, and Carbonology available for rent to Ski to Sea competitors. These kayaks are substantially faster than traditional sea kayaks, but are not available for racers in the Recreational Division due to Ski to Sea rules.

Key notes

  • Elite Performance
  • Flexible scheduling
  • All-inclusive

To make race-day weekend as simple as possible, we provide weekend rentals with direct drop-off at the Ski to Sea inspection site on Saturday, so your boat is ready for check-in and race day. After the race, we can arrange pickup at the finish area or at another convenient location for you. For longer rentals, we are flexible and can arrange drop-off and pickup locations anywhere in the Bellingham area.

All plans include the necessary equipment at no extra cost (PFD, paddle, etc.)

A refundable $400 deposit is required for every reservation. Normal wear is expected, but refunds depend on the equipment being returned in good condition without signs of careless use.
