    My boyfriend treated me and our two dogs to a SUP boarding adventure and we had a wonderful time! There was only a small fee for the dogs to join us (because they definitely scuff up the boards a little bit) and the owner was very accommodating. There is a small beach nearby and a secret area in the middle of the river where you can hang out with your pup (or without). The boards were very stable. Great place for beginners to try out the sport. My recommendation to the company is to have dedicated boards meant for people who want to bring their dogs because here in Portland we love to take our animals everywhere. I think this could bring him a ton more business.

    We reserved a paddle board online for noon on a Friday (two hours after they were supposed to open) and no one showed. After waiting 30 minutes, we had still seen no one. We placed several calls and left a message asking if anyone would eventually show up. This company had already charged my card for the rental but didn’t respond to any of my messages. Very unprofessional and would not recommend to anyone. Definitely find somewhere else along the river to rent from.

    I've been here on multiple occasions. Jeff has always gone above and beyond to take care of me both as a first time and return customer. Even with a large group he was super accommodating. They have a small store with snacks, water, and anything else you might need. And you can tell his priority is that we enjoy our time out on the water. Love it here!

    First time taking a lesson so we went out to Vancouver lake and it was awesome! Great location to learn and great staff helped us- we stayed dry even - that's when you know you have a good coach! Will rent from them in the future- nice equipment.
