David,

You can rent canoes at many of the springs (Wekiwa, Rock Springs, Blue Springs). The manatees are still at Blue Springs, although the air temperature is already into the eighties (too hot!) and they will be heading out soon as the water warms. Canaveral National Seashore (Atlantic coast) is an hour away and the surf has been good lately.

The nearest place that I know of to rent high-end sea kayaks is Sweetwater Kayaks, Gulf coast near Tampa (http://sweetwaterkayaks.com), about 1.5 hours away.

Best Regards,

Greg Stamer
