Forward Outdoor provided everything and made it such an easy experience. They made sure we were comfortable before even getting into the kayak.
My mom and I went on our first kayaking expedition today. Forward Outdoor made it a very easy, enjoyable, and fun experience… It gave my mom and me time to reconnect and bond. 💜 Thank you so much!
They gave us clear expectations, arrived and departed on time and provided clean, well-maintained equipment that made for an enjoyable experience on the Milwaukee River.
