Ready to Hit the Water?

We are just getting into rafting and the staff has been so super helpful with pointers, suggested routes, and gear. They have really made our transition into the hobby so much smoother. I can't recommend the shop enough.

Great place. Staff are very friendly and well-educated. Great selection of products for any kind of river rat. Reliable service and reasonable pricing. Been a customer for at least 10 years and have never been let down.

Incredible family owned and operated local business. Unparalleled services, and honest advice for any type of outdoor adventure you're after. Mike will set you up with exactly what you need and nothing more, never felt pressure to buy. I can't imagine shopping anywhere else for my paddle board or river needs. You're a dummy if you go anywhere else.

We walked in not knowing alot about water rafting and after talking with Shawna we learned a lot about the boats, rivers and gear. I would highly recommend taking a ride on whatever you are planning on purchasing with them at Lake Elmo on Tuesday nights.Mike gave us newbies valuable information.We are heading out camping with our new canoe from them tomorrow. I will definitely recommend them to all my friends!

Great local whitewater gear shop! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, well stocked and priced right!

5 star service , excellent knowledge of all product lines and great spring sale with used rafts , canoes, boats and gear .Support small business!

I have been a customer for 2o plus years and always enjoy shopping and upgrading my gear with the knowledgeable and understanding staff. Awesome store!

My wife and I bought a raft this year, and the folks at Sunshine Sports went above and beyond to help us out. Great prices and selection as well.

The associate was well versed in the needs of newcomers to paddle boarding and could anticipate the questions almost before we asked them. Furthermore, their equipment selection for human powered watercraft seemed very inclusive and wide ranging. As a newcomer, I would feel quite confident in purchasing preparatory gear and watercraft here.

Sunshine Sports has helped us with all our canoeing and rafting needs for the past 25 yrs. Recently Mike helped my husband Jim put together his dream raft for fishing and camping. Love everything in the setup including my awesome river hat:)

I rent paddle boards from here and have always had a positive experience. I refer all of my friends here too. They are genuinely kind and I can tell the staff is customer oriented from there willingness to assist me in the renting process. And they are very reasonably priced for weekend rates. Highly recommend

All the quality gear you need, in stock. I've purchased everything from obscure replacement hardware to fully loaded raft packages. They have it all, and if they don't, they will find it or build it. The staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.

I love going to Sunshine Sports to get what I need for my boat. The prices are always competitive with anyone online but most of all you get good service and great advice.

A great local shop with helpful people and a much better selection of goodies than you might think when you first walk into the relatively small shop.

The staff here is very knowledgeable and helpful! They know what they're talking about and go above and beyond for their customers.
