About Walk on Water
The premier Stand Up Paddleboard company celebrated its 10th year in business this summer. The Eastern Shore’s incredible coastal shorelines led Ron and Sandy to open their business in Worcester County, MD, which originally started as an outfitter providing lessons and rentals to generate interest in paddleboarding. As the demand for paddleboard equipment increased, Walk on Water was born, later expanding to include all types of water crafts.
There’s something for everyone at Walk on Water, from the most experienced paddler to the most novice. With over 50 boards in stock and on display at the store, there are boards fit for any activity, paddler ability, and rider size. Walk on Water is also a popular spot for group outings, kids camps, paddle board yoga, and bachelorette parties.
Customer service is a top priority for the paddle board shop. “Our ultimate goal is to get you enjoying the water on gear that works for you,” Ron says. “We pride ourselves on working with each customer until they feel comfortable that the purchase they make is the right one for them.”
If the board or product isn’t the right fit for you, Ron and Sandy are on it to find the perfect match for your needs! Although Walk on Water’s products remain fairly seasonal at the moment, the store will soon be renovated to include Hawaiian art and feature local artists. Plus, keep an eye out for Walk on Water Worcester County events like the Return to Goat Island watersports festival in Snow Hill, MD!
