Surf Ballard is the perfect launch point for your stand up paddle or kayak adventure. Steps from the sound, we offer a true one-of-a-kind experience. See the Ballard Locks from a different perspective, cruise out to the lighthouse on the shores of Discovery Park or check out the boats in the calm, Shilshole marina. Harbor seals, sea lions, starfish, and bald eagles are your likely companions. If you’re lucky you might glimpse a whale or two.
