SUP

SUPs are popular for a reason they are awesome! Perfect for a work out, a swim, or just a leisure paddle. If wind is under 5 mph anyone can do it. If wind is over 15 mph we do limit as your body acts like a sail.

Canoe

Tried and true - Lewis and Clark now you. Canoeing is one of the most versitile and traditional ways of navigating and enjoying our waters. From fishing, to racing, to whitewater this boat can do it all. Our canoes are wide and stable. It should be known they are more tippy and harder to menuever than kayaks. That being said they upright position and capasity make this a great option for all.
