Renting a paddleboard is the perfect way to get a workout while you explore majestic Lake Minnetonka - one of Minnesota’s largest and most cherished bodies of water. Wayzata is located along the beautiful Lake Minnetonka, and our paddleboard rentals are located right at Wayzata Beach! You can paddle along the shoreline, admiring the views of the lake and houses dotting the shoreline, or paddle out to Spirit Island, a tiny picturesque island on the north side of the bay, about 1 mile away.
