In the heart of Traverse City, on the shores of West Bay, Paddle TC sits, readying bikes, paddleboards and kayaks for your enjoyment. Paddle TC rents ‘people powered fun’ to encourage you to be outside, active and create lifelong memories as you enjoy the great expanse of Traverse City.
It’s hard to imagine a better way to immerse yourself in the life of a region than to explore hidden corners and appreciate the local nuances. You can enjoy the benefits and enormous satisfaction of traveling under your own power via Paddle TC.
Actively engaging with the outdoors is a healthy way to connect more authentically with the area….and it is fun! These are experiences, sights and sounds that you just can’t reach from car or tour bus. We at Paddle TC want to “make it happen” for you.
Paddle TC’s comprehensive planning and support is aimed at one simple goal, bringing you the immediate, highly personal satisfaction of discovering Traverse City on your own terms.

A beach enthusiast and former math teacher, Jeff seized the opportunity to move from the classroom to the beach. The result of this bold move is summers spent on the beach with Paddle TC, and an off-season full of traveling across the United States with family and friends.
Growing up in a beachfront town, he loves to swim and spend time playing beach volleyball.
As a high school junior he jumped at the opportunity to work on the beach for a local jet ski rental eventually working his way into a management role. His passion for boating grew through his college years as he became an avid wakeboarder. Jeff then spent several years working with families and children as a local math teacher.
This background lends itself well to the customer service Jeff provides Paddle TC customers, as he can frequently be seen opening up the booth as the morning sun rises, with a smile on his face and his toes in the sand!
