KAYAKERS GO COASTAL 3915 South 12th Street, Tacoma, WA 98405

"Over the summer, I had brought in my Mariner XL to be refreshed from many years of use. Rhonda went above and beyond to make it look like new again. I appreciate her time and commitment that she puts into her work. Thank you Rhonda!"

"For my first composite boat, I bought a used NDK Romany Classic that needed some TLC. To the one, the veterans in my paddling club each said, "Just talk to Rhonda" as if who Rhonda was went without saying. Rhonda is the owner and operator at Kayakers Go Coastal, and it is now obvious to me why she is everyone's immediate go-to person for kayak repairs. Rhonda fit me into her calendar in time for my first surf-kayaking trip, performed gorgeous repairs of multiple spider-cracking spots and gouges, charged me less than the quote (which was already very reasonable), discounted my purchase of other gear from her shop, helped me load my boat, was absolutely delightful, and doted on my dog while I was strapping down my boat! Go play hard in your kayaking with full confidence that Rhonda can fix whatever you break :)"

"Rhonda did an amazing fix on my Delta kayak when it had a huge hole punched out of it after colliding with another kayak. I really thought it was beyond repair but now I can barely see where it was patched."

"TIP: call ahead and make an appointment to drop your boat off. Do not just drop in!! Repair work came in under the estimate and quicker than I expected. I had a fiberglass Necky double that had major structural issues in the stern. The estimate was $400. Final price was $356. Rhonda also ordered me a custom made neoprene hatch cover. She also gave me very good advice on how to remove oxidization and restore the gel coat to "like-new" appearance. Very easy to work with and generous in her experience and knowledge."

"Rhonda is passionate at helping paddlers "get out there" with opinions and advice about gear, boat configurations and repairing dry suits. She hasn't repaired my boat, but she helped a lot with advice on repairing suits, though she also repairs suits too ... I think she does a lot of them. Was real helpful when it was time to purchase a new paddle. Thanks Rhonda."
