 While Lake Michigan may not be the first location that comes to mind when you think of a Stand-up Paddle spot, the lake is a surprisingly ideal location to enjoy this sport. During the summer months, gentle winds and warmer water combine for a smooth, fresh water paddling experience like no other. Come fall and winter, strong Northerly winds provide for waves, which at times are upwards of 10ft! Not exactly what you'd expect from a body of fresh water.
Great Lakes Board Company is Chicagoland's premier Stand-up Paddle Board and Surf business. With two convenient locations, our flagship spot on Chicago's North Shore and now with the opening of a 2nd location on North Avenue Beach right in the heart of Chicago, Great Lakes Board Company is the only place to go in Chicago for SUP Rentals, Lessons, Group Outings, and Fitness classes. Embarking on their 2nd season, Great Lakes Board Company is experiencing overwhelming interest as this sport has exploded onto the Mid-West scene. The friendly and knowledgeable staff will have you on your way to enjoying Stand-up Paddle Boarding in no time.
At Great Lakes Board Company, their goal is to ensure that the entire family enjoys their time on the water. So far, there has never been anyone who doesn't want to come back for more.
The original location, located on the picturesque and family friendly Glencoe Beach, in Glencoe IL, allows paddlers to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and paddle along the coast among tree lined bluffs, lake front mansions, and private beaches. This beautiful scenery is only surpassed by the thrill of experiencing what it feels like to walk on water. For those city dwellers or visitors, don't worry, our downtown location allows you to paddle amidst the timeless Chicago skyline, truly a unique experience.
