ISLE LOVE Water Club by TISUP. We've got kayak and board storage. Have a piece of the island to call your own!
ISLE LOVE Water Club is a program by TISUP which brings SUP & Kayak storage solutions to Torontonians. We have a limited number of outdoor spaces available on the shoreline on Wards Island at our current location beside the Algonquin Bridge. This is a paddlers paradise and has access to the inner waterways of the island called the Lagoons. The Blue Flag Wards Beach is also nearby for open water paddling. We are a 5 minute walk from the Wards Island ferry dock. Click the membership application button below to get started. This will bring you to an online form that will help us determine your eligibilty and rack space based on your watercraft dimensions. Once done, we will send you an email with more info and, if approved, a private link to complete your registration. Join our club in it's first year of operation!
Enjoy $55.50 off in our first year of operation with the code STOREMYBOARD at checkout!

SUP AND KAYAK STORAGE ON THE ISLAND
Our storage options include a series of outdoor racks and give you direct access to the shoreline to launch your personal watercraft. Personal paddles and PFDs can be locked/stored outside to your board or boat. Lockers can be rented for an additional cost not yet determined. Another option is to simply bring the paddle and accessories home after use. This is a proven & safe method for the area. We do not have a communal indoor space. This shoreline area is next to our regular rental and experience operation so there may be TISUP customers nearby. There are washrooms nearby at the local firehall building.
Storage options run from May 1 to April 15 of the following calendar year. Please see the digital waiver and accept the terms & conditions at checkout through our system. Racks and area are not regularly checked/attended during the winter months.
Membership and storage are on a season by season basis and do not roll over to the next year. Benefits of memberships:
-50% discount for select TISUP guided experiences if you Bring Your Own Board/Boat (BYOB). Enjoy Lessons, SUP Eco-Tours, Paddlebirding, SUP Yoga and more.
-Bring a friend! 20% discount for a guest on rental equipment, code can be used 5 times per season.
-Access to racks and storage area.
-Lagoon side storage just steps from the water.
-Directly adjacent to the lagoon (calm water) and a short walk to Wards Beach (open lake).
-Join social paddles throughout the season.

You may also be eligible for TISUP Rescue Boat services if you are paddling during our normal operating hours and the boat is available. This is not a guarantee but is offered in emergencies and for a fee, pickups and drop offs around the island if available. This is suitable for those who may want to do a "downwinder" and only want to paddle one way for instance.

MANDATORY SECURITY SOLUTIONS
Since this is an outdoor storage space, locking mechanisms are manadatory for all members and you will be asked to prove it upon bringing equipment to the racks. Please see a list below for some suitable options. We do not endorse any products, but simply want to help in this process. Lifejackets can be looped through a cable locking your equipment.
This option is great for boats and boards with no attachment/locking points and wraps around the entire watercraft.
1. Suspenz Universal Locking System - Very good company and helpful customer service. Other good options on their wesbite.
2. Universal Kayak Lock Cable - This company also has some great options for locking solutions and is worth exploring.
This option is specifc to SUP and mounts in the fin box or eyelets. There are a variety of good options on the market.
3. Fin Box Lock - This option mounts in the finbox of SUPs and Surfboards and is very secure.
4. SUP Lock System - This option mounts in eyelets on your board if it has them. See the webpage for more info. Not all boards have eyelets.
This option is simply a cable that can be fed through a loop or hole on your watercraft or the fin box mount for a SUP. It works very well considering there is no loop on the end and can be fed through small holes.
5. Master Lock Python
If you'd like to leave a paddle and have extra security, consider a paddle lock such as the ones below.
6. DocksLocks® Paddle Lock for Kayak Paddleboard Anti-Theft Security - This one is simple and cost effecting. Our first choice and suitable for most paddles. If using this option, make sure your paddle is not adjustable so that the handle piece can slip right off.
7. Lockable Paddle Holder - This device is more expensive but can be sized to fit custom shapes and equipment.
Consider using a board/boat cover to protect your equipment from the sun and weather such as this one below.
8. Lixada Professional Covers

SAFETY
We take safe boating & boarding seriously. Please ensure that you and your guests are safe on the water and follow all rules & regulations. Please see the Government of Canada Office of Boating Safety for more information and refer to the Safe Boating Guide. Please be aware of the effects of cold water especially in the shoulder season and take the necessary precautions to stay safe like knowing how to rescue & self-rescue, dressing appropriately, carrying the proper safety gear and more. Creating a float plan with a friend who knows where you are going and when you are expected back is a good idea. Better yet, paddle with a buddy! Weather can also change quickly and present hazards. We are lucky to be so close to calm waters. Please be aware that the conditions in the harbour and lake can be wildly different than the calm waterways where we launch. In addition to these tips, feel free to take a lesson with us and get some time with a professional instructor.
Consider joining a Facebook group for paddlers. We suggest the Buddy SUPping group.
