Next Stop: SUP Challenge!

📍 RENTAL HQ – 74 TRINITY ST Google Maps: “74 Trinity St, Austin, TX 78701” – black warehouse, looks sketchy, that’s it. Parking: $20/hr street meter – arrive early or circle like a duck. Sign-in: look for Pic 9 (graffiti arrow) → left stairs → tiny counter. 💰 PRICE BOARD (cash/card) Single kayak: $15 Double kayak: $20 SUP (paddle-board): $25 No hidden fees, no deposit, life-vest included. 🧳 WHAT TO BRING (WATER-PROOF EVERYTHING) Phone + CCD: waterproof pouch mandatory – boats take on splash. Snacks/drinks: allowed, no patrol – picnic on water = valid. Shoes: flip-flops fine, but expect wet feet. Valuables: leave in car – storage boxes exist but sit in sun = not safe. 🕓 TIMING TIPS Hours: 08:00-21:00 (last rental ~20:30). Sweet spot: 16:00-18:00 – golden hour + bat emergence (May-Oct). Online booking: open till 17:30 – snag slot if weekend. 🗺️ ROUTE = NO LIMITS City skyline: paddle east 10 min = glass-water mirror shots. Bat bridge (Congress): 15 min west – bats exit 20:00 (seasonal). Secret cove: under Redbud Trail bridge – shade + echo selfies. Distance: 1 km loop = 45 min leisurely, 2 km = 90 min workout. 📸 SHOT LIST (memory-killers) Bridge arch + paddle silhouette – 50 mm f/2. Skyline reflection – 16 mm wide, phone low to water. Bat cloud at dusk – 1/60 sec burst, high ISO. Selfie with Capitol dome mirrored – reverse paddle for angle. ⚠️ REALITY CHECK Arms: will burn after 30 min – switch sides every 10 min. Sun: Texas UV is brutal – re-apply SPF 50 at dock. Wind: afternoon trades can push you east – paddle harder return. 🌅 GOLDEN HOUR HACK Dock at 18:45 – sky turns mango ➡️ indigo in 15 min. Boat bow faces west – sun drops behind hills, lake mirrors gradient. Phone night-mode OFF – keeps natural orange glow. 🍔 POST-PADDLE REFUEL The Oasis – 10 min drive – sunset margarita + lake view = perfect cooldown. Jo’s Coffee – 5 min walk – “I love you so much” wall selfie = obligatory IG story. 💰 HALF-DAY BUDGET (per person) Rental 25 $ Parking 20 $ (2 hrs) Post-paddle drink 12 $ ≈ 57 USD – cheaper than theme-park ticket, twice the workout. 📱 1-MINUTE CLIP LIST Rental counter handshake First paddle stroke splash Skyline mirror pano Bat cloud emergence Dock return high-five 🎯 ONE-SENTENCE TAKE-AWAY “Austin paddle day = arm-burn, skyline-mirror, bat-cloud magic, and a sunset margarita – the city’s softest soul on water.” #US #Texas #Austin
