The prices in the chart do not include the $25 cleaning fee that is charged per rental period per kayak if the kayak is returned in a state where you could not put it straight back onto the shelf. Salt, mud / sand and footprints inside are the common ones charged for. If you take the kayak into the sea or pool water only and clean it well enough to be put back on the shelf, then the $25 dollars is returnable. If the kayak has been into a fresh water the $25 for the materials and time required to Didymo clean will be charged unless you wash with soap and water
If you are wanting to Demo a kayak prior to purchasing: you can try a range of kayaks before buying you may hire as many different models as you please over a three month period (up to two days per hire period count towards this offer) and have the rental total deducted from the final purchase price (cleaning fees are not included in the amount to be deducted).
Coast to Coast season from Feb 1 to the Sunday after the coast to coast, all kayaks intended for use for C2C training are $100 per day for all days with or without equipment, whether they are used or not (to cover the period of the race $500 will be required). We recommend that you bring your own paddle and gear, so that all you have to get acquainted with is the kayak and the river, but we can help you out with whatever we have. Accessories should be booked in advance if you need something in particular.

If kayaks or gear are returned broken - we will charge you for the repair. If it cannot be repaired we will charge you for a replacement. We expect you to look after the kayaks and gear as if it was your own, if not better, after all if you respect and look after the gear, it will look after you.
If kayaks or gear is returned to us in a state which doesn't allow the next customer to take it away and be happy to use it because of unwashed, unclean, parts removed etc, we will charge you a cleaning fee of $25 per item. This includes a didymo cleaning fee and mud/sand on kayaks.
