“We have rented SUPs, mountain bikes a couple of times, camped, and are planning a rafting trip in the near future. They offer quality gear for an amazing price and our experience and never been less than incredible. Thanks to the owners and staff for doing what you do and making these outdoor adventures so accessible for all of us.” — Mary M. (via Yelp)
