tandup paddleboarding is the fastest
growing segment of water sports equipment,
and an upstart business in Eliot has found
a niche in the business.
Tidal Roots was founded in May 2014 after three
years of what could loosely be defi ned as "research
and development."
"We were both doing a lot of fl y fi shing," says Kyle
Schaefer, who started Tidal Roots with Kent Scovill.
Over 40 years of sophisticated legal services in business and corporate litigation and trial practice,
construction, education, employment, land use regulation, and real estate and banking law.
