"Great experience and great business idea. Super convenient for customers. We just picked up the paddle board directly from a locker, and it was just next to falls lake. They picked our phone call instantly and answered all our questions. The board was of good quality and we enjoyed it a lot. Thanks and we’d definitely try out their Jordan lake and Kerr lake rental in the near future."

"My friend and I have rented from Wake Rack twice now and both times we had great experiences. The owner of the business is so kind and helpful! He went above and beyond with the accommodations. We used the Falls Lake location to pick up our boards from and it was such an easy process. The boards are great quality and its so convenient to inflate them once you get to your destination which is great for people like me who drive a car."
