We're starting of stand up paddle boarding season with a bang, offering big discounts on two great boards, the Ohana 10'6" TR and the Ohana 14' TR. These made-in-the-USA boards are some of the best we've seen, and at clearance prices, they'll be gone in a hurry.

Start Haus owner Jim Schaffner took out his new Boga Stand Up Paddle Boards on Boca Reservoir, north of Truckee this week. Here's a few photos - it's time to start thinking about SUP for the summer!

Once again, the Start Haus won "Best Backshop, Bootfitting" from Skiing Business at the SIA Tradeshow in Denver last weekend - way to go Jim, Doug, JD, Nate, James, Jason, and the rest of the boot fitting crew!

Start Haus Owner and America's Best Bootfitter Instructor Jim Schaffner said the award reflects the entire bootfitting staff's ability to offer the same cutting edge boot fitting service to every customer.

"Every shop has a guy that's good, but we have a whole team," Schaffner said. "No matter who you work with in the boot fitting room, we have a consistent protocol that guarantees a great fit - from what questions we ask to how we assess the foot and lower leg."
