Great solo paddle - Nice paddle, thought I was booking a group tour, turned out just to be a solo kayak rental. There were a couple other folks there who had been out from there before and let me tag along for a bit. All in all it turned out to be lovely!

Great trip! - We had the best time. When we got there clear instructions were given, safety was explained well, we were told what animal life to look for and where to look.

Couples SUP - Mr. Webb at PADL was a warm and welcoming presence for our first time stand up paddle boarding! The water was calm and the perfect temperature; we’ll definitely be back!!!

impromptu kayak rental - I set up my rental the night before. Expecting to be on the ramp at 9:30. Webb was kind enough to call me the next morning to let me know that the tides wouldn't be right for a decent paddle until 11:00. Being an experienced kayaker, Webb allowed me to use the gear I brought, and after a few minutes of paperwork, I was on my way. What a gorgeous location! I was protected from the winds. Saw tons of life on the water and really enjoyed my time out. When I got back, Webb and I started talking about fishing. He is really personable and a great asset to the PADL organization. Next time I'm in town, I will definitely get on the water through them again.

Great Experience - Couldn’t have been nicer, the gentleman operating the facility was nothing but professional, courteous, and informative. It was a great experience and I will return, despite the fact that he outfished me from the shore, I chalk that up to him being local, not my fishing ability. Thank You, it’s service like this and value which keeps people returning.
