Hi, we’re Brian and Hannah, owners of Elk Head Watersports Rentals. We live in Hayden, CO, with our three kids and share a deep love for the water. I (Brian) grew up in Michigan, where summers were spent on the water—boating, fishing, sailing, and waterskiing. Moving to Colorado, I quickly realized how much harder it was to access a boat and enjoy time on the water. Over the 15 years I’ve lived here, I’ve found ways to make it work, but I know firsthand that it remains a challenge for many families to get their kids out on the water and experience the same joys I had growing up. Hannah, originally from Steamboat Springs, didn’t have much experience on the water until we met, but she’s come to see how valuable it is—especially for kids—to have more opportunities to enjoy the outdoors in the summer. Our goal with Elk Head Watersports Rentals is simple: to make it easier for locals and visitors alike to get their families out on the water. Whether it’s an afternoon of fishing or tubing, or a week-long camping trip at one of our beautiful local reservoirs, we want to provide a hassle-free way for people to create lasting memories on the water.
