Because the timing of the notice, Foss Harbor could easily charged us for another month, but they did not. We were impressed!

The guys at their Fuel Dock are also great, friendly, always engaging.

We found out about their screening The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou screening from Facebook and…read morewhen we first got there,no one was there. We though we did something wrong but the guy came came from the next door store to set up the inflatable screen, projector, speakers, and popcorn machine and it was a party. He poured out a little bubbly and you helped yourself to the buttery popcorn. Unfortunately the store doesn't open because the same guy who runs it is also running the show, so it's understandable, bu I wish I could've bought some other snacks. The screening was definitely for the tenants of the marina because they all knew each other which was kinda cool that they put out the event on FB. They had the best swag ever, which was ed knit caps just like Bill Murray's crew in the film. This was very low key, low attendance, and intimate. It was funto watchthe movie as the sun went down and I can't wait for their next one.

Don't forget to bring your camera as it's beautiful on a clear day and a great activity with friends or family.

Once you're done go and enjoy a drink at Andersons after your work out!

I called him from my layover in Oakland, California and told him I was gonna try to get a paddle in that same evening,if possible, he started describing it and said, "Man you just gotta get here, I'll drop you a pin!. You're not gonna believe what an amazing experience you're gonna have!" We both had goosebumps, he was so pumped and excited, and so was I!!! He was so right, Everything was perfect, and my goosebumps had goosebumps. It was such a beautiful Paddle. A few days later, I had a little more time on my hand, so I gave him a call, once again blew me away. My final night before I was to fly home opened up and once again he went above and beyond. I record my paddles with a GARMIN watch that synchronizes with the RELIVE app to show your video Trail on a satellite map and any pictures and videos you take and geo-stamped along your trail. It also allows you to edit pictures that were taken of you while you're paddling. And you guessed it, Scott took pictures of me out on the water. The guy is just amazing, his passion has no limits and it's infectious. I've never experienced such good service. Not sure if these RELIVE links will be clickable, but the short videos will give you a good sense of the type of experience I had: 1st WA Deadman's Island https://www.relive.com/view/vYvEG2W1PG6 2nd Gig Harbor Sunset https://www.relive.com/view/vPv4ZdRLN36 3rd FOX TANGLEWOOD https://www.relive.com/view/vrqojwBAkK6 Scott's Face book post of my experience: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Bet8kW4ri/?mibextid=wwXIfr Scott's Instagram post of my experience: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DInXLXWp5ll/?igsh=MTExdXpuZDMxZDl4bQ==

What's great is that if you're out on the water a little longer than planned, you just get charged for the extra amount of time (rounded to the 15min interval). So if you come back in 1 hour and 15 minutes, you get charged for that exact time vs. 2 hours. Staff was friendly and helpful with getting people onto the kayaks/boards safely with life jackets and instructions on how to paddle. I think one extra tip that would be good to know is just pointers on how to find the entrance when we come back since we did get a bit lost, the lake is huge! There are also cubbies to store your personal belongings and changing rooms/restroom. Overall I would recommend and come back.

My daughter had every…read moreintention of purchasing one they had but the one man working stood outside talking with someone who was sitting in his car the entire time. He never once asked if we had questions or needed help with anything. While looking at the kayak she wanted another couple walked in and needed help to which he pretty much blew them off. Needless to say my daughter hopped online and purchased a 1500$ kayak online because the one person working didn't acknowledge her or anyone else browsing the store what so ever. He clearly wasn't motivated to make a sale because we both would have gotten one.

Once we were on the water, the real-time individualized feedback was superbly useful - it let me know what to keep doing, and what I should change to paddle more efficiently. I had a lot of fun learning with Rob/team and the other students, and I was even approached by a curious seal! One thing I wanted to highlight is Rob & team's emphasis on safety. I so appreciated how seriously they take SUP safety. I felt very safe in their care, and after this class I feel confident about venturing out onto the Sound, with a SUP buddy or two, to practice what I learned in class. Looking forward to taking another class with them in the near future!
