Know before you go

Questions
Never paddled before? Rentals include a quick lesson; the lagoon is forgiving.
Can we paddle to Shell Island? Experienced paddlers do; for most groups, take the shuttle and rent on the island side.
What if it's windy? Lagoon rentals run in most conditions short of lightning.
