freeport kayak rentals

Jerry Foster (the owner) and his team had the great idea of renting kayaks and paddleboards in Freeport, NY for both beginner and experienced riders. By making this dream a reality, it seems he has give an opportunity to many to enjoy a day on the water (using zero fossil fuels!). I rented a paddleboard from FKR and really liked it although I had never tried one before. I had my first lesson on how to use the equipment from Jerry who then helps launch you into the calm waters of this area of the South Shore of Long Island. Randall Bay is named after one of the founders of the Village of Freeport and is dotted with little islands where abundant bird and aquatic life reside. You can see a lot while paddling around if you keep your eyes open. When you ride is over, the folks at FKR have even put together a map of the dining and shopping choices along the nearby Nautical Mile, famous for it's seafood. You will work up an appetite!Even though they are closed for the summer, FKR just invited customers to take a full moon kayak tonight (9/8/14) - bummed I can't go! They also do group rentals as well as Boy Scouts Kayaking Merit Badge classes - that is how I heard of them. Needless to say, I am a repeat customer and can't wait until next year (FKR stops operations after Labor Day) when they reopen again for fun water sports activities. Keep paddling!

Went to kayak with the family to get out of the house for a couple of hours. Jerry met us at the park and was a great host. Very friendly and funny, and he gave us some good suggestions on where to go while out there. The area has nice grasslands and interesting places to explore (more so than just a large open lake).
