  Tahe Outdoor Paddleboards

We began using these paddleboards in our rental lineup last year.  They quickly won us over as being some of the best beginner boards on the market.  Why?  There main asset is their durability.  Each of the three models they produce starts with a foam core sealed with a sheet of polyvinyl plastic on the outside.  These things are bombproof!  The ones from last year still look new.  We didn't have a single problem with them, not one.  This company has producing surfboards using this technique for over 40 years.  They are unique in that they are produced in France by the same company that produces Bic pens and lighters.  Come try one out prior to purchase!

A Note on Inflatable SUPs:

​

We are not fans of inflatable paddleboards. We don't sell them and never will.  In spite of the astounding popularity of these boards, we feel they are unstable and vulnerable to damage.  If you get one, be aware.  You get what you pay for! 

Optional Equipment:

Paddle

We sell the paddle that is paired with Tahe ($75).  It is an adjustable paddle that has an aluminum shaft and plastic blade.  It is a serviceable paddle and fine for entry level paddling.  However, we also sell a variety of high end carbon fiber adjustable and fixed handle (cut and glued to your specifications) paddles, starting at $150.  Ask to see the other options.

PFD

We have used the MTI "Fluid" Co2-style cartridge (fanny pack) waist belt since our inception. DNR requires the use of a Coast Guard approved PFD. These are so comfortable, it is easy to forget that you are wearing one. Don't get caught by DNR without a PFD - the fine is $110. With these waistbelt PFDs, you will develop a habit of simply never being on the lake without it.                       $100

Leash

If only one safety device were required, it should definitely be the use of a leash.  This is attached at the ankle to the board.  If one were to fall, the paddleboard would always stay nearby.  The board itself is the best PFD.                          $25          

Call Steve to arrange your board purchase or to try one out!
