Summary:
Highly recommend this service! They made everything so easy my board was ready and waiting for my arrival at the lake :) they contacted beforehand as I had originally planned on picking up the board but since my car didnt have a roof rack they delivered to my desired location without any issue!

Summary:
Both my wife and I were first timers, and this was a great experience with some excellent guidance. Adil’s instructions were super clear and helpful, and we got the hang of it pretty quickly. (I did fall into the water a couple of times and learned from it! 😊) We would definitely come here again!
