It was a quirky little place, but was very helpful and had very helpful and accommodating employees. Guy the owner was an incredibly helpful man, very interesting, and full of knowledge, experience, and want to be helpful. I was geared up with everything that I could need to become a first time kayak owner. Guy gave great information and discounts on gear for a limited time. Staff helped me get my new kayak fitted to me and my dog appropriately and onto my car and strapped down efficiently. What more could a girl ask for!?!

The guy at the service desk named Wylie was excellent. Very helpful and worked with me to store the bike while the outside painting was done. The project turned out well and the bike was returned to me running well and on a timely basis.
