So why did I choose Clear Water Outdoor over the others? Because I love technology and the ease of online booking. Gone are the days of actually having to talk to someone! Verbal communication, such a daunting task! Their website is easy to navigate. You pick a day, how many boards you want to rent, pick a time slot and pay. Done and done. When we arrived to the storefront the rental process was pretty seamless. They took my drivers license and walked me over the the park across the lake where 2 boards were ready to go. It is a 5 minute walk from the store to the park BTW. Oh and they have a safe place to store your belongings in the store because there is no where to put it on the beach.

Overall, it was a great store worth checking out.

Some friends and I recently took a trip to stay at a cabin in the Rockford area. We had planned to go cross country skiing and found that Rocktown Adventures rents xc skis in the winter. What we had not planned on was how slow we would be at finally leaving the cabin to go pick up the skis. Since they unfortunately don't do reservations for the skis, we called ahead to make sure they had some before heading over. By the time we got there it was already around 3 pm and unbeknownst to us, they close at 5 pm on the weekends. We got started with the rental process only to realize we would have very little time to ski before sundown. After explaining a couple options we had for still getting out on the skis, the staff member ultimately told us it probably wouldn't be worth our money given our time constraints. Instead of staying quiet, taking our money, and letting us have a very short ski trip, the staff member suggested the option that was best for us! He then told us that if we were ever back in town to just give them a call and if they had skis available he'd have them ready for us when we arrived. Not only is the staff knowledgeable and caring but they have an incredible selection of gear. We didn't end up spending any money there, and that is exactly why this was a five star experience!
