Tons of Fun!

I love the location, staff, and adventuresome spirit at the SUP shack! Literally on the water, so you don't have to carry the board far and it's easy to put in from the dock. Instruction was exemplary! We went outside the harbor and saw lots of marine life. The staff is all about safety. Had a blast and would absolutely recommend them!

Loved the Sea Otters

Trudie and the team were great. We had a collection guys. 2 surfers, 2 Santa Cruz natives and 3 Swedish Companions. Everyone got a kick out the sea otters and harbor seals.

Great Time

Had a great time in the harbor yesterday (7/3/18). It was foggy, but perfect for a novice. Thank you Trudie for such an enjoyable and affordable experience. Can’t wait to come back or try out Rio.

Convenient and Easy

Super convenient easy stand-up paddle rentals! They'll drop your board in the harbor which is always calm and full of marine life: otters, sea lions. If you've ever wanted to try SUP, this is the place to do it! You will be hooked!
