Wetsuit Special We'll give you 10% the wetsuit price in store credit, to spend on booties, gloves, or maybe a stylish Gorge t-shirt. You name it - no restrictions on how you spend it, and no need to make a second trip to redeem it. Offer good on all regular-priced full suits.

S'up with SUPs? Join us each 2nd Wednesday of the month to find out. Meet us at the Willamette Park boat ramp at 5pm. We can work on technique and skills, then put some races together, or just go exploring...you name it! Bring your own board if you have one. We'll also have board demos available, but no wetsuits on site. If you don't have one, run by the shop first for a rental.

We have lots of SUPs and paddles in stock right now. Come on down and check them out. Visit our SUP page for more info and a list of boards.
