CANCELLATION POLICY: Since the demand to attend our paddling events is unusually high, we request that if your plans change and you won't be attending, that you remove your name from the "attendee list" as soon as possible! If you do not remove yourself from the list of attendees WITHIN 24 HOURS of the event, you will be marked as a "NO SHOW". If you have THREE "NO SHOW"s you will be dropped from the group.
FIRST TIMERS: SunCoast Pedal & Paddle (SP&P) decals will be available for purchase prior to the event. The cost is $3. (please help me out with exact change). BY displaying the SP&P decal on your kayak, you will not have to sign the liability waiver on EACH trip you attend (instead you will sign an annual waiver when you purchase the decals).
