S	Stephanie Sempf on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bob set us up with a kayak rental at an exceptional rate for the day, we paddled around the arm and had a wonderful morning. The staff are all very knowledgable and will help with all your paddling needs.
J	John Feesey on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was seeking a kevlar canoe in the local Kootenay region here when a professional guide suggested Bob's shop in Nelson.He suggested several types to try and we,as my wife was along,did, right out of his shop on Kootenay Lake. That was 2 seasons ago.Very satisfactory purchase.He is always around for advice.
S	Sean Klug on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bob was a knowledgeable and friendly guy who helped us find the ideal Kayak, and gave is a great deal on it. We even tested it out on the lake before hand to make sure. Great prices, selection, and customer service. They even helped load it on the car.

P	Peter Plaunt on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Have had a couple of my paddling toys repaired here and they have been great. Also bought two SUPs from them. Looking at getting them to make me a canoe.
N	Nathan Brown on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had been planning with my two sons to build a Kevlar canoe as a winter project. We were camping close to Nelson so stopped in at the shop to see if we could get any tips on building. Bob, Marcus and crew were extremely generous with their time as well as advice and we ended up buying all our materials from them. We left the shop with lots of tips that hopefully we can put into practice to build a usable canoe. Otherwise, we'll probably be back next year to buy one from the professionals!
M	Mick Ellis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have purchased 2 canoes from Hellman canoes and found Bob extremely helpful. I developed problems with both boats created by myself. Bob replaced the first boat under warranty. Eighteen years later we picked up the same boat as I enjoyed the first boat. While carrying the new canoe on my camper I hit a tree and slightly damaged the boat. I returned it to Hellman canoes for repairs. Not only did Bob repair the damage, he replaced a damaged end cap and repainted the canoe for a very reasonable price. I am extremely pleased with the service I received and can highly recommend Hellman canoes.
J	Jack Caldwell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When you drive over an hour and a half (twice) to purchase a paddle board from a local business, you would think that the quality of service and care is better than those from big box chain stores. Unfortunately this put a real damper on the ‘support local’ trend. You also put a damper on my friends wallet when you said you would discount the item for her and then fall back on your word the next day at the time of transaction. There will not be a next time Bob. Customer service and care should always be the number one priority, not taking advantage of consumers who keep your lights on. Any other good local stores that sell kayaks anyone?
