The staff here are so friendly and accommodating, I think I called them at least 4x in a week and they weren't annoyed of me and always returned my calls quickly. I rented two paddle boards for Canada day long weekend and prior to visiting the paddle centre, wasn't 100% confident about strapping those bad boys to a small Toyota corollas roof. Staff showed us how to safely secure the crafts to the car and provided all the equipment necessary (foam blocks, straps). The boards were in great shape (one was brand new!) and came with paddles, life jackets, and leashes. I actually called last minute on the last day of my rental to ask if I could keep the boards one more day and they moved some things around to accommodate me, which totally made my weekend!! I would not hesitate to recommend White Squall to anyone interested in renting and I will be back!!

But whatever you need on the lakes -- well, cottage-related really, but what isn't cottage-related on the lakes? -- you can find here. Awesome selection of name brand men's and women's swimwear and sandals/flip-flops; huge array of high-quality waterskis, kayaks, boat bumpers, floaties, and life vests; wide variety of outdoor and patio furniture, including recycled plastic Muskoka chairs and patio umbrellas; all kinds of cabin accessories you'd never known you needed, like miniature rowboats, stained glass landscapes, pine cone nightlights, and aloe balm for your sunburns. It's easy to spend a lot of time in here, despite the siren song of a beautiful Muskoka day! Prices are reasonable, staff is helpful and friendly, location is a bit of a walk up Medora Street from the docks (or a bit of a drive past town).

The store stand behind their products and their techs always took time to help me with any mechanical issues with my bike, helped me understand the bike language and assisted with dialing my bike in for the best setup for me while racing and always made sure my bike was ready for my next race. Little Ed's also impressed me with their involvement in the community through sponsoring or taking apart in a variety of community/environmental fund raising events, free skill development programs and group rides for all abilities and experience levels. This is why I will continue to shop at Little Ed's in the future. Also they do skate sharpening with the fastest turn around time in the area.
