So yeah, stereotypical California guy, but when I visited Wisconsin I had to go surf The Lake out…read moreof Sheboygan. I wasn't inspired by Stepping into Liquid as much as I was inspired by my surf buddy out here, who is originally from the Midwest. I had to do it, he said. Funny thing was, the day I did that, there was a shark attack on my home break near where he was surfing and I would have been out there in Morro Bay if not for my WI trip. Whew! So I guess there was a reason I went to Sheboygan, and there was a reason I went to EOS to rent a good board (not some foam piece of crap like you get at most rental shops on the coasts) that was epoxy and got the lowdown on the best spots from the nice woman at the counter holding the door past 7 p.m. on a Friday night for me. And while the surf was nowhere near movie quality, I did catch a couple ankle slappers the next morning and got the stoke from WI of all places. I followed that up with a Packers-Eagles game in Green Bay's Lambeau Field, and I have to say it was an unforgettable weekend. Long story short, I have to thank the crew at EOS for the freshwater stoke. Thanks again to everyone there. I crossed another goal off my list because of you guys. And, it's true, they do have barrels big enough to fit a VW. I have the t-shirts (if not the gopro photos) to prove it. Stoked! B

I live downtown Milwaukee and could easily hit up REI or Gander Mountain. However, I choose to drive all the way down to Sherper's in Oconomowoc to meet my camping needs. Support a local business and know that you'll be purchasing quality gear.

They do lots of stuff between Evyn helping or fitting with boots and the care after the boots is amazing as well they helped me heat mold them and they even did she work on them for free and I bought bindings here. They are amazing bindings

GREAT SERVICE!... The owner (Jayson) is a great guy and cares about the customers experience..if…read moreyou need skis,boots or apparel this is the place. And conveniently located right in lake Geneva! I walked in intending to get new skis and boots and walked out with a great pair of used skis with bindings which he did not need to do..he could of sold me new skis but he listened and knows when to proactively give suggestions without being pushy and it turns out the used skis were exactly what I wanted! Jayson is a real genuine guy that listens! He has a lot of knowledge and after the purchase of the boots I came back and did a custom fit because of a few pressure points in them which made skiing unbearable..after an hour I had a custom fit on the liners of my boots and they are SO COMFORTABLE NOW. During the whole process he graciously explains what he is doing and the reasons for it which made the whole experience seamless. I love my new skis and boots and I cannot wait to put them to good use. Most ski shops near Chicago or Milwaukee do not offer what board shop has and that is QUALITY Service..and a listening ear. They actually care; which sets them apart and really is "gold standard" for ski shops which is rare. Thank you Jayson you're doing it right!! So happy this is so close to home.

Poor representation, booked online to rent their paddle boards for a fun experience only to be…read moredisappointed to find out that they only do it on weekends. The sign at the the lake said everyday their online site said everyday it allowed us to book the stuff and take our money online. Nobody showed up when we arrived for our time slot. When we called the place they informed us they only had it on weekends. We tried to book this in late August but still before Labor Day weekend. The guy on the phone was alright but had a condescending tone like we were wrong to expect s paddle board even though their official posted sign said EVERYDAY. Just a sad experience to our vacation because of this company

I wanted to try Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) for about forever…read more 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.

They have a huge selection of standup paddle boards, kayaks and accessories. I am actually wearing one of their shirts right now. Cool thing is, I just found out they sell ans rent snow shoes also. Being right on the lake, a hike on the lake path is something to behold anytime of year. A lot of my Rockford, IL friends kayak and have either friended them on facebook, visited the website or store itself. If you have any questions while you are there, which I always have plenty which I think some are kind of dumb, they are right there to answer them. I plan to take my family for lessons this Spring.
