Fire Island Water Sports |
|
FIWS was started in the summer of 2013 by two brothers Brett and TJ Whooley with a little help from their dad...
Us two brothers love to do everything in the sun, especially in the water so we figured why not let everyone that comes to Kismet have the chance to have the fun we do. Kismet, Fire Island is a small beach community with just five blocks so everyone knows everyone. You can get to Kismet by a short 20 minute walk from Robert Mosses Field 5 or a 20 minute ferry ride out of Bayshore. There are two restaurants, The Kismet Inn and Surf's Out. There is also one market and a volunteer fire department which we belong too.
So anyway we started off our business with just three paddle boards that summer and we were lugging the boards all around town because everyone couldn't wait to try out stand up paddle boarding. A lot of people started hearing about us in different towns so our dad hooked us up with a sweet trike with a trailer attached to the back. This started our venture on renting out to different towns. We have now expanded to 9 paddle boards, 3 kayaks, 3 surfboards, 10 boogie boards, handful of beach chairs, 8 kan jams, 2 spikeball sets and more to come in the future!
