Came here to try paddleboarding for the first time and it was awesome! The equipment was clean and easy to use. We had a great time! I also called in before making a reservation because I had a question about the library discount code, and Gwendolyn got back to me via email the same afternoon. Very responsive!

I had an excellent lesson learning how to kayak with Gwendolyn. She provided easy tips and suggestions for kayaking. She is also easy and fun to talk with during the lesson. The day I went the lake was perfect! Looking forward to returning to the Canandaigua Sailboard for kayaking or paddle boarding.
