As you may have noticed, HVH2O has been on hiatus during 2020. Covid hit everybody pretty hard, and we were no exception. While there were some paddling concessions that provided lessons and rentals, we were very concerned about the risk of infection. HVH2O especially caters to beginners with kayaking and standup paddling, and sometimes this means working in close proximity with our clients. While we support mask wearing 100%, wearing a mask in the water is not always feasible. Once a mask gets wet, its ability to pass air is greatly reduced. Because of these safety concerns, we took 2020 off.
But 2021 will be different!
HVH2O is in the final stages of signing a contract with the city of Peekskill to use the Peekskill Landing site for the 2021 season. That means we will be operating at the north section of the Peekskill Waterfront, right alongside the kayak launch. We will be providing paddleboard and kayak rentals as well as lessons. We are looking forward to our 2021 offerings including more paddling events and also tours. Please stay tuned because we have a lot to announce!
