Renting paddleboards here was easy and seamless. We bothered Ian a ton before getting there, but he answered all of our questions and was very helpful! Our guide Alex gave us a good little tutorial before we went out which was helpful. The wind changed when we were out there, and we kept getting taken out really far (where we weren't supposed to be). After we fought our way back in, Alex and Ian informed us that they had eyes on us the whole time and were ready with a jetski in case we got out of sight. Overall, it was fun and this rental company is cool!

We were at the North Ave Beach location. It ended up being very windy and so wavy that we were carried out very far and could not make it back. There were 5 of us. SUP had no rescue plan. EJ, a paddle board instructor, was great and attempted to rescue us with a jetski (that they almost didn't let him take), but even the waves were too much for the jetski (we flipped on the jetski during rescue attempts). We ended up being rescued by complete strangers on a boat who were nice enough to bring us and our boards on. SUP shouldn't have allowed paddle boarding that day, and if they were, they should have rescue plans in place. EJ was great, 10/10 would recommend EJ though.
