Our staff is amazingly talented! Kayakers, paddleboarders, surfers, sailors, teachers, scientists, videographers, boat-builders, fish-whisperers, and...incredible artists. This year we had two art students and a graphic design professional on staff and luckily, they were willing to put their creative powers to work for us! Belle recently graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor's in Fine Art. This fall she is returning to campus to work in the Old College Gallery where she'll be curating and organizing new art shows for the gallery. Ultimately, she'd love to work for a museum in DC. Last year Belle designed the concept for our "Adventure Awaits" tee. The tank tops are super-popular and this year we also put the design on a ladies performance long-sleeve tee. Madison is starting her last year as a Fine Arts major

Frequently Asked Questions Q. Why do you sell the kayaks after only a couple of seasons? A. We try to keep a new inventory of top of the line kayaks. We have learned that if we sell the used ones after two seasons they are still in great shape and that allows us to replace them with the newest boats. Q. How can I purchase one of the used kayaks/paddleboards? A. You can purchase the used equipment in person or online. If you have any questions about the equipment, please feel free to give us a call. But we'd prefer not to take your payment over the phone. If you are purchasing your kayak/paddleboard in person, please check our hours and make sure to come at least one hour prior to closing. Keep in mind

Purchase a water bottle from us or bring your own reusable bottle to refill and help us and the Surfrider Foundation save our oceans and the planet! The problem: Plastics don't biodegrade, they photodegrade meaning that they never go away. The pieces just get smaller and smaller. When these small pieces end up in the ocean, marine life often mistake them for food, many times with fatal results. More RAP facts: (taken from surfrider.org) The amount of plastic produced from 2000 - 2010 exceeds the amount produced during the
