We have never been paddle boarding before but have always wanted to try it. Kelly was so kind and patient when we initially inquired about the rental process. When we decided to go ahead and take the plunge and just do it making the appointment was very simple. The website was user friendly and easy to navigate. We showed up for our appointment and she had everything ready to go. She made sure that our life jackets were on properly and did not skip a single step. Her instructions and demonstrations on how to actually use the paddle board were easy to follow and very thorough. She also made sure that we were comfortable with our paddle boards before leaving. Out on the lake we got to see SO much wildlife, it was nothing like being in a motorized boat that's for sure. I have never considered myself athletic by any means and am far from being in shape but thanks to the equipment she provided as well as amazing instructions and answering all of my questions I can say I mastered the paddle board in no time! It was for sure the highlight of our vacation! Thank you Kelly and Lakeshore Water Sports!!!

Hiya folks! If you're reading this review I can make a few guesses about you that may or may not be…read moreaccurate: 1. You are looking for a place to rent a kayak. 2. You don't own your own kayak. 3. You're probably not familiar with the waterways in and around Western Michigan. 4. You're reading reviews looking for something that really speaks to you. Friend, you've found the right review for YOU! My wife, 17-year-old son and I traveled up to Grand Haven on a whim this week, never having been here before but with the specific intent of trying out kayaking. Now, I have Kayaked before...I was about 12...so 36 years ago. My city-raised son and land-locked wife had never done such a thing in their lives. So, we started looking. After reading the reviews of a few places, I was attracted to Guys for a couple of reasons: 1. I'm a sucker for a story about a guy retiring from a life and retail and opening a kayak business on the rivers he loves. 2. Another review mentioned he had a kayak that fit a large person (I am one such person). 3. He specifically mentioned river kayaking...which is perfect for a newbie who isn't experienced keeping themselves moving. After all, if you get tired of paddling, you can just let the river take you where it will. Guy runs the business out of his house, but you'll never go in...you don't need to. We met in the yard, I PayPal'd him our fee (only $25 each) and we got back in our van to follow him to the landing spot...where we left our vehicle, climbed in his van, and he took us to the launch up river. Guy knows this town, but he really knows these rivers. We got a full briefing on what to expect, how to use the equipment, how long it should take --"the river's running about 4.5mph right now...it was 6mph last week...so it'll be a longer trip unless you really paddle". He then made sure we had a dry-box for a phone and wallet (just in case) and offered my son a ball cap since he forgot his and made sure my bald head had sunscreen, which I had forgotten. Then he launched us and away we went. The trip downstream was about 2 hours, and 15 minutes in my tech-geek son-sans-cell-phone says "We really need to do this more often" the trip was already worth it. The rest of the trip downstream was idylic and so much fun. When we got to the end (Guy put out a sign for us to land), Guy himself was there and taking photos for us. He helped us out of the boats (which I needed after two hours) and we got in our van and left. Guy has made this trip worthwhile on his own with his service and hospitality, and my family had a fantastic time. I can not recommend him and his business enough! Thank's Guy!!!

Unless you're absolutely sure of what you're buying, MACKITE will make it hard to return something you decide against. The details: I ordered a 6m wing, inflated it on the wood floor in my livingroom, and realized it was too heavy. I packaged it neatly in its original box with all labels attached and got in touch with MacKite. My options: store credit though they did not have what I was looking for, or taking a 15% haircut plus paying shipping back--and not their commercial shipping cost, but the over-the-counter cost of walking in to UPS. All told, I spent $575 on the wrong wing and my mistakes (wrong wing, wrong company!) cost me $250.
