“One of the best parts of living close by. Not only is their gas usually priced well, they have the basics of most convenience stores....plus they have bait, some basic fishing tackle etc. Plus you can sit down and have a burger or some chicken strips and tots with a beer or two for lunch. How could it possibly be better than that? Seriously great place, and great people.”
“My experience was AMAZING! I booked 3 hours for an afternoon to learn new wake surf tricks with 3 friends. The crew at Hang Loose MN were easy to work with and generous with their time and talents. The G23 is a fantastic boat with a worldclass wave.
Capt. Mike is a great coach and helped each of us move closer to our individual goals. I have years of bad habits to break but now I have the 411 on what to do to be successful : )
The smile on my buddy's face as he foiled, rope free, was priceless... like he was 5 years old and in total flow state. Capt. Mike's instructions for foiling behind a wake boat were spot on and easy to follow!
I left the session feeling confident that I will be able to nail some new tricks by the end of this season as well as a much better understanding of how to use wake settings to help new surfers get up behind our boat.
I am already planning my next strike mission to Lake Carlos for another 411 download and adventure.
Pro tip: There is a great little burger and ice cream place called Tip Top Dairy Bar (22 W Nokomis St, Osakis, MN 56360) that is a must try... either before or after your session with Capt. Mike
Cheers,
Benny C”

700 Voyager Dr, Alexandria“I can not belive I am actually telling this secret.I was the biggest Make up Artist in Mpls. for 35 years.So I do know all about cosmetics. Running in to grab a slice of pizza, driving home from Mpls. to Glenwood, I stopped in. As I waited to check out, a large palette of eyeshadows caught my eye.I examined with caution, thinking "This is such a weird place for this item".But, I looked closely at the gorgeous tones and thought What the heck?, Try it.! It was under $5.00, and a second was free. So, I got 2. I had created my OWN line of beautiful cosmetics and brushes. I had a really busy cosmetics studio, that sold tons of products daily, and very loyal clients, who spent buckets of money on these beauty essentials. All I thought was "it was so odd, the eyeshadows must be a poorly formulated product." ( When eyeshadow is cheap, it is usually less PIGMENT and more talc. To my surprise, the "OH-LA-LA EYESHADOWS" , were not only good quality and had lasting pigment, but the colors were just too gorgeous! Apparently, the idea of buying make-up at a convenience store is plain CRAZY. Here's to Pizza, pop, cigarettes.... AND FABULOUS COSMETICS!”
“I could not be more appreciative of the Gappa family and their business over the last 11 years since I moved to the area. From buying propane for my home, getting vehicle repairs, buying bulk farm fuel, and odds and ends. They have gotten me out of binds when my vehicles broke down, made sure I never ran out of propane even during the worst shortage in history, and let me make payments when I was out of work for health problems. Keep it right with them, and they will keep you warm and on the road. Anytime someone asks me where to get vehicle work done, get propane for their house, or bulk fuel, I always recommend Gappa's.”
