Meet Libby – Our Shop Dog & Adventure Buddy

No trip to Float Shack is complete without meeting Libby, our beloved red heeler (Australian Cattle Dog). Libby is as adventurous as they come—she loves to swim, fetch frisbees in the water, and even ride paddle boards down the Slate River with Mike! Keep an eye out for her; she’s always ready to greet customers and might even show off her water skills.

At Float Shack, our goal is to make your paddle boarding experience easy, fun, and accessible. Whether you’re exploring the serene mountain lakes or cruising down the Slate River, we’ve got you covered.
