Floating the James River is popular for a reason, it's calm, clear, and scenic! Tubes are fun, but consider upgrading your adventure and hopping on a paddleboard!
Our paddleboards offer a unique option between tubing and kayaking for your river float. We've selected the premium SUP brands iRocker and Isle because their boards offer both stability and durability. Each rental includes a paddle, life vest, and safety briefing so all you need to do is show up and enjoy one of the most peaceful and fun float trips in the region.
Our Boards are Great for a James River Float
Our standard size 10'6" boards fit 1-2 adults or up to 450 lbs. They have varying widths, from 32" to 35", offering stability and space for your dry bag, cooler, and speaker!

Perfect for bringing the whole family along, our Megalodon paddleboard is one of the most unique ways we offer to float the James River!
At 15 feet long and over 4.5 feet wide, this party barge fits up to 6 people (1,050 lbs) plus your cooler, and is next to impossible to flip over.
It is a great way to bring younger kids on your float and keep everyone together, or rent it solo if you want to do yoga the whole way down the river!
We also offer a limited number of kid's size boards, which are easier for kids age 5-10 to maneuver. They're available as an add-on to any adult booking.
