My interest in the topic was more so to understand why this wasn't more of a common practice. Before I bought my kayak and moved into a house, I lived in pretty tight quarters (also know quite a few friends in a similar scenario) that does not allow me to own a kayak and I seriously looked into if there was an option to rent a Hobie but didn't find any promising needs. After getting my kayak I fell in love with the sport and my wife and I go almost every weekend, but if I didn't own a house I would have never been able to get exposed to the sport and also this awesome community. In the Bay Area, space feels like a limiting factor for a lot of people and I wonder if there are other like me (1.5 years ago) who would fall in love with the sport but just cant access it due to storage space issues.
