Our Story

Meet Jon Sanchez, the owner and operator behind Lazy Otter SUP Rentals, nestled right in Joseph, Oregon. Like many drawn to its shores, Jon deeply fell in love with Wallowa Lake and envisioned a simple way for everyone to immerse themselves in its natural beauty. This passion sparked the creation of Lazy Otter.

 

As an active outdoorsman, Jon thrives on hiking the scenic Eagle Cap Wilderness and finding tranquility on Wallowa Lake from a stand-up paddleboard, often after distilling spirits at Stein Distillery. It's this profound appreciation for the lake's magic that truly makes Lazy Otter more than just a rental service.
