I'm paddling the Everglades Challenge 300 mile adventure race from Tampa to Key Largo again this march on my SUP. A friend of mine is also crazy enough to go. I have a working spot and he doesn't. Rather than piss away $150 per year plus devise he's better off renting as they are part of the required safety equipment along with a plb. Anyone have one that needs some real use????

If you strike out finding one here, you might want to try these rental service options, though I have never used any of them, so I can't speak for their service and/or reliability:

They require a PLB and SPOT?

I'm located in the Tampa Bay, FL area and might be able to help you out. I have a first generation Spot that I've used while blue water sailing the Atlantic and Caribbean and on a section hike of the AT last year. I'll need it again at the end of April for another AT secton hike, but until then, it's unused.

Let me know if you're interested.
