What about Weather & Winds?
On windy days, we work with the renter and their abilities. If needed, we will shuttle guests and their rental equipment to start and end within the islands where the winds are broken. There is no extra fee for this, but we ask for patience on your part as we shuttle guests back and forth. We thank you for your understanding as we try to keep everyone safe.
As for thunderstorms, heavy rain or extreme winds, we do our best to give you as much notice as possible if we need to cancel rentals. We offer a full refund at the time of cancelation. Before heading down to our site, please check our website homepage for the latest updates.
Cancelation Policy
To cancel your reservation and receive a full refund, you must EMAIL ask@paddletoronto.com by 5:00pm the DAY PRIOR to your rental. Please do not leave a voice message.
