Topsail Surf & Cycle

If you are especially interested in kayaking, you probably want to check this company out. While they offer surf and paddle board lessons like other companies, the unique thing about them is their pedal kayak rentals and tours. Their Hobie Kayaks are easy enough to operate that even a first timer can get far on these. 

These kayaks are powered by pedaling while steering with a lever you control with your fingers. This makes it easier to steer and glide through the water. This company is the only tour service to offer these pedal kayaks so you should try them out sometime. Even if you're a beginner you'll still have an excellent time on their tours. 

 They also other services, rentals, and retail at their location. You can shop for several different models of pedal and electric bikes, and they offer bike repair services. Or instead, you can rent either kind of bike, as well as kayaks, paddle boards, and surf/body/skim boards too. They pretty much have everything covered at this shop!
