My partner and I went to rent boards from him and check out his shop. He payed little attention to us and was passive aggressive when answering questions. We were inquiring about renting wetsuits and boards from him, so he took our credit card information and charged our card. While going through the rental process we quickly realized we did not want to rent from this guy because of his attitude and we generally just felt off. My partner simply asked him if he could refund his card because changed our minds, and the owner started yelling at him. He said that we waisted an hour of his time and yelled at us to get out of his shop and said that my partner "got in his face". He then proceeded to aggressively get in my partners face and tell us how rude we are. He slammed his shop door and told us he wasn't giving us our money back. Since then, we have spoken to people in the Newport community that have heard similar stories and the he is not a good member of the south beach community. They have urged us to leave reviews because Russel apparently has been threatening people by text/email to take down any bad reviews. Please do not go to this shop and give him business.

    I highly recommend taking a class at Portland Kayak Company! My wife and I were first timers and…read morethe beginners class did such a great job making us feel comfortable on the water. Our instructors were Rose and Margot; both were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and patient! They even helped me when I fell into the water (yeah, I'm not embarrassed to admit it... I totally fell in the water, haha!). It was totally my fault but both were quick to help me and they did such a great job not making me feel bad about it. Helpful Tips: * If you're taking a class, know that the kayak, the paddle and the life vest are provided. * If you plan to bring your phone with you on the kayak, make sure to bring an airtight bag to keep your phone in it. We had one already but I saw that they sold them in their store, too! Oh, and it's worth mentioning... the company was very understanding even though we arrived five minutes late (our GPS turned us around and we got lost heading to the class). Of course, try your best to avoid being late, but it was great knowing they were understanding about it. It made us feel extremely comfortable! My wife and I are definitely coming back!

He did a great job correcting our strokes. It was clear he had the knowledge of the sport as well as the understanding to be able to offer corrective feedback. I have a service dog and they showed great flexibility in working with me and my dog in and out of the water. It was well worth the money. Overall, my experience with Alder Creek was phenomenal.

    If you love the outdoors -- or just want to look like you do -- the Columbia Factory Store is a…read moremust-stop. The selection here is fantastic, with everything from jackets and hiking shoes to thermal gear and hats, all at factory outlet prices. I've found deals that beat most online discounts, especially during seasonal sales. The staff deserves a shoutout. They're genuinely helpful, not pushy, and always willing to check stock or help you find the right size. You can tell they actually use the products and know what they're talking about. The store is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate -- no digging through messy racks like some outlets. The checkout process is quick, and the team keeps the line moving even when it gets busy. Pro tip: Sign up for the Columbia Rewards program. I've scored some extra savings and early access to sales that make it worth it. Overall, this is one of the best outlet shopping experiences in the Portland area. Whether you're gearing up for a hike or just looking for a solid rain jacket (we are in the PNW), Columbia has you covered -- literally! LMAO

    This Columbia Outlet store had so many great deals, it was overwhelming…read more I stopped by here yesterday afternoon because I'm in the market for some new winter outerwear. I was specifically hoping to find boots and/or a jacket. On top of having an entire floor full of clearance jackets, they also had about a dozen racks under tents outside of the store. It seemed like they probably had every Columbia jacket that had been made within the past few years. There was also a ton of Mountain Hardware and Sorel. The Mountain Hardware jackets were about 25-50% off, which was still significantly cheaper than REI or anywhere else that I know of. I ended up feeling so overwhelmed by the jacket selection that I decided I needed to do some research, and come back. I ended up leaving with two pairs of snow boots: 1 Columbia, and 1 Sorel. I got both pairs for $55, including tax and a very small roundup for the National Park fund. I've been looking for boots for a couple of weeks, and the cheapest I've found comparable boots anywhere else was anywhere from $69-129. So, I was beyond stoked to find two pairs I liked in the clearance section. They were also having a store wide BOGO half-off sale, which is how the total ended up so low. I didn't have, and have actually never had any of the issues with outlet stores that other people brought up in their reviews. I used to work at the outlets in Folsom. Most of the merchandise isn't damaged or defective-- it's just overstock or barely out of season. The boots that I purchased are honestly of similar quality to brand new boots from DSW. I just got really lucky (and have a seventh sense for when things will be on sale due to all my years of working in retail). Staff was super friendly and helpful. Overall a great experience and I would definitely shop here again.

We made a reservation with SK Water Rentals a week in advance, fully paid, and were all excited for our 4-hour adventure on the Willamette. Just as we were getting ready, we received a text saying our reservation was canceled. We tried calling several times, but no one ever answered. This was incredibly disappointing and frustrating, especially with people traveling such a long way. Thankfully, we were able to quickly book with an electric boat rental company on Portland's waterfront--great people, fantastic boats, and an overall wonderful experience. They turned what could have been a ruined day into something memorable. We are extremely disappointed with SK Water Rentals' irresponsibility and lack of communication. Looking back, I wish we had read the other negative reviews first--it seems we are not alone.

The closest one to my house was more than 75 miles away, which for a car wouldn't typically be an issue, but this was my first SXS and I wanted a local family owned store. Lo and behold, I found a posting from SK - i reached out to shawn and he said they had one in stock. I put in an inquiry online at around midnight, and I had an email, call and text from Shawn the very next morning by 10:30 am. I called back, and he said the unit was still in the crate, but they could build it for me, and if I wanted to, I could put a deposit down on it to hold it for me. I decided to go down that day, and I ended up purchasing the sled sight unseen that day thanks to the confidence shawn inspired in me. It was built and ready for pickup within just a couple days (perfect timining actually, those two days were off days) and he kept me updated through the whole process, as well as sent a photo of the unit upon build completion. Upon pickup, he had it ready to go, waiting for me. Every single person I had contact with here (ari, reid, tommy, kevin, joel, jeff...went out of their way to be kind, professional and as helpful as possible, and I would definitely recommend coming here for a purchase. I know I'll be back for sure once I outgrow this one. Also, I just passed my first 100 hour break in period with my sled . So far, it's running beautifully and I'm taking it in for its first service with tommy and crew later today. I will update later as to how the service department goes, but I have no doubt that I'll be as impressed today as I was a month and a half ago!!!!
