Common Questions

What should I Wear?

1

We recommend wearing a swimsuit - of course! This activity is at night, so just in case you get a bit chilly, we recommend water friendly layers of shorts, shirts, and water shoes if you want to cover those toes.


Is There A Place To Change?

2

We ask that you come water ready. Ping Tom Park DOES NOT have on-site changing facilities. We can hold any clothing you wish to not take out on the water such as jackets or bags.


Age Restrictions?

3

Neon Paddle is an 18+ experience only! So, please leave the kiddos at home for this activity.


Do I Need Previous Experience Paddleboarding?

4

NOT AT ALL. This is an experience for all skill levels and we encourage beginners to give it a try! We will demonstrate how to use the paddle and maneuver the boards during our safety demonstration.
