There is a great rental shop in Magnuson Park called Sail Sand Point. It is very cost-effective if you have a season pass (only $150/year, April-October), as you can rent kayaks, paddleboards, or sailboats (skills test required for the latter) an unlimited amount of times. A single rental will set you back $18/hour, but this price is per item, so a 2-person kayak would be $9/person per hour.

I recently became an event host for a Seattle-based Meetup group called アウトドアの会. What better way to break in event hosting than paddleboarding (me) and kayaking!
