Haven't shopped here mostly because the owner makes zero to no effort! I have asked him on insight…read moreregarding skateboard wheels for skates, which honestly could be a big money maker, and he just tells me each time I should get online and look. Also asked him if he had any opinion on inside wheel vs. street wheels. Again, No effort. Shouldn't you know these things? Or at least try. Seems like a local joint within a super niche market, but from the comments below, this owner needs to get smart or lose out on potentially valuable customers.

I wanted to rent some equipment that would allow me to have fun as an experienced windsurfer and to be able to teach a range of people weighing from 145 to 225 lbs, and ranging in age from 19 to 60+.

Drive NE Torch Lake from M88 for a couple of miles and look to your right take in the beauty of the lake from the hills NE Torch lake winds through. Locals say that 6 shades of blue can be found in Torch's crystal clear water and I believe it to be true. I've had the pleasure of getting to know the owners Dave and Lisa over the last couple of years. They are seasoned sailors and and can provide lessons if you are new to sailing/windsurfing or just rusty. In the case of windsurfing they have a simulator on land that allows them to give instructions while you practice, without getting your feet wet. They will also take you out into the lake and provide instruction based on your skill level. Their business is located in a small subdivison on the NE side of the lake. Wak-Wing can be challenging to find with a GPS, keep in mind the city is Central Lake. Look for the white sign with a sailboat on it. While it's possible to catch them at the beach, it's highly recommended that you call and make an appointment. Enjoy!
