Sporting Goods in Fontana-on-Geneva Lake, WI

“Such a great experience, nothing but 10s all around! Our captain Rick Daddy was AMAZING! We had the best time - would recommend to anyone looking for a great boat day!”

“SCOTT SCOTT SCOTT, if there’s a nationwide best salesperson prize, it definitely should go to Scott Henry. Regardless if you’re buying a kayak or a million dollars boat, Scott will go above and beyond to exceed expectations!”

“I wanted to try Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) for about forever. The concierge at the Abbey gave me a coupon for a discount rental at nearby Fontana Paddle so I decided to finally give it a go. It was an excellent decision. Rates are reasonable. They fit you with a flotation vest, changing rooms are available and they have small lockers. You do not want to have your smartphone on you in the event you fall in the water on the lake. It is better to lock it up, IMO. The training overview was pretty detailed and there is a lot to remember and coordinate all at once. I liken it to riding a bike or driving a car. Once you learn it, you'll always have it and it becomes normal/natural, until then, you have to remember to switch hands, stay balanced, etc. I did go out too far from where they told me to stay, but that was unplanned. A little wind and then a boat sent me even further out which resulted in my instructor dude coming out on board to see if I was okay and if I could get back in on my own. Embarrassing, but also super cool because he gave me some on water tips that I somehow already had forgotten. Also, the further out you go, the more the wind affects you and there are more boats, so you can expend more energy on balancing rather than paddling enjoyably along. Once my guy knew I was okay and headed more in the right direction he went back and I went on to a very enjoyable experience. Prices are good. Staff is helpful. Get out early on summer weekends, too many boats on the lake will not make for a good SUP experience.”
