About
Locally owned and operated, I (Michael) take joy in offering great customer service and competitive pricing. Being a small business, I appreciate each and every one of my guests. With over 800 five-star reviews I am grateful for the amazing customers that have rented from me. I look forward to serving you and creating a lifetime memory for you and your loved ones.
More about me: I grew up on the island of Kaua`i and enjoy surfing, being with friends, knowing Jesus, and being a friend to others.
My Dad was a pastor and parted ways to be at home with Jesus in Heaven in 2022. One of his favorite hobbies was kayaking and little did he or I know, God would open the doors for me to start this kayak business in 2023. He certainly lived the EPIC life and I am reminded of Romans 6:23,
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
If you haven’t considered what comes after death, God offers you forgiveness from your sins as a free gift through Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. I’d love to share more with you or pray for you if you’re interested! There is hope and fullness of joy in knowing God personally!
