If you have every wanted to give paddling...a, uh, "paddle" then this is for you. Whereas other stores that sell paddling gear have a special "demo" once in the spring, at Seatsea we demo our boats most every Monday from 4:30pm - 7pm ...all summer long!  Seatasea offers a FREE Discover Kayaking Demo at Robins Lake in Cedar Rapids,  Pleasant Creek State Recreation Area (Palo, Iowa) at the Windsurfing/Paddling Beach or at Lake McBride in Solon, Iowa. 

This is pretty casual too!  There are no gimmicks, no hard sells, no timeshare purchases, you just grab a boat and give it a paddle.  Then try another..and another.  That's it.  What a great way to check out a really great sport...and to find out what different types of boats you like.  NO reservation or confirmation is required.  Just show up! (See cancellation information below)

One of Seatasea's Kayaking Staff will be around to give you a few tips and answer any questions you may have and we provide everything you need including PFD's.   (That means personal floatation device for you land lubbers also known as a life jacket!)

Featuring boats from Hobie Kayaks, Current Design, Old Town Canoe, Necky Kayaks and  Wilderness Systems .  Paddles from Bending Branches and Werner and PFD's from Stohlquist Waterwear

Dates and confirmed times are listed on our calendar.  There is no reservations necessary.   Just show up.  We would recommend on planning on getting a little wet.  Because, quite frankly, if you don't get wet, it really can't be any fun.  So some comfortable dress is a good idea and maybe an old pair of sneakers or water shoes would be would be good too.  

Already a Paddler..but want to try out a few different boats?  This would be the time for you also.  Seatasea has a fleet of over 15 different types of Recreational Touring, Touring and Family fun boats..both sit-ins and sit-on-tops for you to give a paddle.

Cancellations:  Our paddling demos "will happen" unless weather conditions are not good.  This includes rain or high winds or too high of water.  If these conditions exist (on the day of the event!) , please call our retail store at 319-365-6066 for confirmation of a cancellation.

Pleasant Creek State Rec Area, Palo, IA is located a couple miles north of the town of Palo, Iowa.  We conduct the Discover Paddling Demo's at the Windsurfing & Paddling beach.  When you enter the park you will come to a "T" in the road at the lake.  Take a left towards the main boat ramp.  Take your first right that you can into a small culdesac.  If you go to the main boat ramp you have gone too far.
