How Kayaks and Boards was born.

Hi my name is Barbara and I am a paddle addict. Kayaking started out to be just a hobby that I fell in love with. Before I knew it I had convinced everyone around me that this was the thing to be doing. My love of kayaking and the water had spread through everyone I know like a plague. We were all renting kayaks and before I knew it my husband and I were buying our own, then my best friend bought her own and several of our friends still rent.  We all  get together and go on trips to kayak the springs , go island hopping and snorkeling by kayak when we are off work ,or just take a peaceful  paddle down the river. When we are able to get out on the water and enjoy the serene quiet with only the sounds of nature we go and we thoroughly enjoy it with every ounce of our being.

I had been talking with my husband for a few months  about starting a kayak and paddleboard rental business so that we could enjoy the paradise we live in all of the time. One day I went into work to find out I no longer had a job. Surprisingly I wasn’t  tremendously upset about this since I had intended to quit to start the kayak business. Now I just had the push that  I needed to do it sooner than expected. So I went home and spoke with my husband so that we could make the final decision. We agreed to follow through with the idea. So it’s time to paddle hard.

Kayaks and Boards is born. Risking it all for our love of nature and the water here we are. Hoping all goes well and that we can eventually expand into other types of water rentals such as surfboards , jet skis , and pedal boats etc. Baby steps for now ! I’m just thankful that my husband has so much faith in me. Come paddle with us today!!!
