The team at Idaho River Sports is great! They are helpful and thorough getting the SUP rental equipment out for our use. They are close to Quinn's pond, so no long walks hauling a board or kayak to the water. I haven't had any of the food from the eatery nearby, but it sure smells good! Give them a try. You don't have to own a SUP or a kayak to enjoy the sport on the pond with IRS right there (and not the tax people!).
We came this morning for the monthly sunrise paddle, having signed up and paid online, a simple process. There was a mis-communication and no one was there to run that paddle. At the normal time the shop opened, the staff graciously made this mis-communication good for us. We took paddle boards and kayaks on the pond and had a delightful time. Thanks to the staff for making this potentially negative event into a very positive one.
We had a great time hiring a tandem kayak on a Monday morning. Great staff including a Scotsman who was knowledgeable about the area and very attentive.
Bought my second Hobie kayak from these guys. LOVE the store and the guys that work here!
The most professional and friendly place! I stopped in randomly to inquire about a paddle board and lesson and they couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. A big thank you to Bailey who came in on her day off to give me the best lesson and teach me how to paddle board! Again, the nicest people, a great shop, and dog friendly (Loki loved all the attention)!!! I will be sure to visit every summer! Thanks Idaho River Sports!!!
