From Wisconsin’s pristine lakes to tropical shores, Coontail is here to help you make every water adventure extraordinary. With our curated selection of apparel and gear, you’ll be ready for anything, whether it’s a casual lakeside weekend or an ocean escape. For specialized scuba and snorkel equipment, we’re proud to recommend DipNDive, whose expertise complements Coontail’s mission to outfit you for life on the water.
At Coontail, we understand that for many outdoor enthusiasts, their furry companions are part of the adventure. Whether you're hitting the water on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) or gliding through the waves in a kayak, bringing your dog along can add an extra layer of fun and companionship to your outdoor excursions. But, getting your pup safely onto your watercraft and ensuring a smooth ride requires some preparation and know-how. In this blog post, we'll share tips on how to load your dog onto an SUP or kayak from personal experience, and provide advice for a successful paddling experience with your four-legged friend.
