Weather & Cancellation
- I check detailed forecasts and only cancel if necessary (usually by 6 am event day). If I don't cancel the meetup, it's because I feel it will be a good morning to paddle based on the weather forecast just before we get out.
- We do have a 24 hr cancellation rental refund policy for no-shows or those who cancel event day. If you can't make it, please cancel the day before with a text to 561.260.2628 (please not in the meetup comments).
