Self-Serve Kiosk on Bayou Teche

After the ribboncutting ceremony for St. Martin Parish’s first kayak kiosk, I spoke with Reed Rudasill about Wanderlust Rentals, a business bringing a big-city bike-share concept to Southern Louisiana waterways. As I learned from our conversation, the kayaks are pieces of a larger puzzle. The entrepreneur explained how the kayak kiosk, situated as it is on the grounds of the Old Castillo Hotel, is part of a plan to bring the two-hundredyear-old St. Martinville landmark back to life again this fall.

Tell me about yourself and how you came into this unique business.
