PADL, Safety Harbor

PADL is introducing a new way to rent paddleboards right from your smartphone. PADL is similar to bike shares popular around the country, such as Citi Bike, where technology has enabled a new aspect of convenience and flexibility in the rental process. To get started, download the PADL app and rent and unlock a paddle board directly from your smartphone. Users simply download the PADL app on their smartphones and create an account. Then they can locate a nearby station using the app’s interactive map. To unlock, riders select the board from the app and follow the prompts. To return the board, you place the paddle and the board back on the station, and end the rental from within the app. All safety gear is provided on the station, and the app summarizes the trip after the ride is completed.
