    Easy to find. The staff was super friendly and chill. Very calm water. Very relaxing stroll. Great for beginners and if you have kids.. The whole trip took us about 2 hrs, we took our time and took lots of pictures. Unfortunately there were no pit stops to strech your legs. I didn't get to see any eagles but I did see a lot of other birds and baby ducks. We parked across the street where the beach is located since we were staying in the area after kayaking-$12 for the whole day. They do offer paid parking for their customers but I believe its only for while you're kayaking then you gotta go. I recommend checking this place out!

    Mellow float down and back up.

We also rented kayaks that the owner, Art, delivered to the launch site along a nice river. Again, at no charge. Finally, we treated ourselves and the kids and rented a paddleboard for the day to play with in Lake Michigan. Again, no charge for delivery and pick up from the beach. Pain free fun!!! Art and his wife are friendly and knowledgeable and completely accommodating. We will use them again for sure!!

They had scheduled appointment customers they were helping and managed to work us right in without neglecting them. Art and Shelly are fair, knowledgeable and extremely kind. Art spent so much time with us explaining the ebike world to us and making sure we made an informed decision with test rides and answering all our questions. Before we left he made sure everything was fit and working properly to our satisfaction and patiently making changes to our needs. I feel confident Art and Shelly will continue to support our purchase above and beyond should we have any future problems or repairs. Our maiden trip was 18 miles on some hill country that I certainly would not have entertained on my mountain bike. In my late 50's it has opened up a whole new world of possibilities and much needed exercise. If you are considering an ebike go to RAR first!

It's obvious he has a real love of surfing, windsurfing, and electric surfing. Afterwards, we traded skateboards for a bit, and he even let me borrow his surfboard (no charge) so that I could make the most of my day in Western Michigan. Awesome dude. 5/5 for sure

    Stoke Riders is one of a small handful of kiteboarding instruction on the southern part of Lake…read moreMichigan. Tyler and assorted instructors, that specialize in various aspect of the sport, are top instructors and well trained. They are very patient but students should also be both patient and persistent. This is not a sport for "toe dipping", like paddle boarding. Even paddle boarding, like any sport that involves water, there is a lot to learn beyond just learning the sport. Hint... safety and knowledge in case things go wrong. It has taken be years to get the fundamentals of kiteboarding and I was pretty experienced at a lot of similar sports. I think frequency and intensity had a lot to do with my long learning curve, which both centered around availability at the right time. Finally, a few years later, I'm gaining independence and security. Whether you learn on vacation, or use a great outfit like Stoke Riders, be prepared to dedicate time. You can expect the commitment might be similar to getting certified to scuba dive. You might be able to get a quick "fix" initially but the real understanding takes a long time. For myself, there was nothing quick, and so I just learned the rescue aspect of the sport better as I narrowed in on being able to ride.

    Just got back from Chicago stand up paddle boarding and honestly had a really fun time. I went to…read morethe diversity harbor location as most of the beaches continue to be closed due to COVID. The view and paddle boarding towards the city is quite scenic and it is cool to be able to merge the thundering city with being on the water. It is right next to a public park so there are many people walking, biking, and having picnics which is also a nice sight, however, on the other side of the park is a highway so that takes away from some of the scenery. There are not great parking instructions on the website but we managed to find a spot hero nearby which was pretty easy. Booking a same-day reservation was not a hassle and you simply fill out a liability waiver on the phone once you get there. I was not super sure about how clean the rented equipment was which could be a concern for some people right now, otherwise the rental process was easy. Some other concerns I had were that they give you a box to store your belongings in, but the box is just sitting out in the back of a trailer and I am not sure how well guarded they were. There is also a very low bridge that I had to lay down to go under, and while I thought it was a fun little challenge others may think of it as a nuisance. Overall, good way to paddle board near the city.

    Chicago SUP paddle boarding is a FANTASTIC way to enjoy the lake and amazing view of the skyline…read more The staff was super friendly and very accommodating since we were a little late to our scheduled time. We'll definitely be back next season! Thanks
