Learn to Paddle!

There are a lot of ways to enjoy time on the lake in addition to spending time on the boat. One of these is to buy or rent a device that lets you take in the beauty of nature at a slower pace. Try a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard with the family. Who knows - you may love the activity so much that you make it a regular family outing! 

If you fall in love with kayaking or paddleboarding, you have to check out Firstmate Controls and our Bracket Buddy products designed to keep your gear safe and out of the way. Don't worry about the kayaking blowing over the dock in a storm or having the paddleboard slip off of the shore and float away. Firstmate Controls has your back!


Take Boating to the Next Level


Boating is an incredibly fun activity. almost everyone loves soaking in the sunshine and feeling the breeze in their hair! Kick it up a notch and add some extra adventure by trying waterskiing, wakeboarding, wake surfing, or tubing. These activities are high-adrenaline and can take a lot of practice. Have fun laughing at yourself as you learn how to use the equipment and wear the kiddos out with a fun day on the tube.


Go Swimming or Floating


Sometimes it is nice to slow down, get out of the boat, and enjoy the cool feel of the lake water. While the water temperatures may not be high enough this week, they are getting there! The ideal water temperature for swimming is typically between 80 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on your preference. Enjoy the water from a beach or on a water mat by the boat. Relax and soak up the great times on your lake vacation.
