    This family-run shop has been keeping the watersports dream alive for 40 years, with owner Barton and his son Reider earning praise for their authentic, laid-back approach. Reviewers consistently highlight the quality instruction across kiteboarding, windsurfing, and eFoiling, with instructors getting beginners up and riding quickly through encouraging, flexible teaching styles. The team communicates via text to catch the best wind and weather conditions, and they're willing to adjust schedules around Mother Nature. Several visitors mention the welcoming crew that includes Michael and Alex, all of whom share genuine passion for the sports and local history. Beyond lessons, the shop offers surfboard and gear rentals at excellent prices, with easy pickup and return. People appreciate the personalized service you'd expect from a mom-and-pop operation, from helping select the right equipment for conditions to going the extra mile with customer care. One visitor did arrive to find the shop closed before posted hours on a Friday, so calling ahead might save a drive. Overall, travelers love supporting this authentic alternative to corporate shops, enjoying the old-school customer service and the obvious investment these guys have in your success on the water.
