Riding the Waves of Life: Meet Libby Riddle

Libby Riddle is the founder of Montana Boarders and Montana Boarding School, two Flathead Valley–based businesses built around one simple idea: make it easier (and way more fun) to get people on the water.

Featured on the cover of Whitefish Living Magazine and highlighted in Flathead Living, Libby’s story blends Montana roots, a long career in television production, and a deep love of lake life. After years producing major network shows across the country, she returned home to build something local, community-driven, and a little bit ridiculous—in the best way.

Montana Boarders delivers paddleboards, water bikes, kayaks, and specialty gear straight to docks, cabins, and campsites across the Flathead Valley. No roof racks. No hassle. Just show up and get outside.
