Aloha!StandUp Paddle Sports is the first fully dedicated standup paddleboard store in the America's...and, we helped to pioneer what has become the fastest growing sport in the world. We have taught hundreds of people how to Standup Paddle (SUP) over the years and paddling one of our boards is a perfect way to get out on the gorgeous water here in Santa Barbara, CA. Our stand up paddle board rentals, lessons and demo’s are conveniently located at our shop near the beach on the Urban Wine Trail, within walking distance to "Skater Point" by Stearns Wharf.Our rental/demo board lines includes our SUP Sports brand, Starboard brand and Focus Hawaii brand boards, and our top quality paddles with proper size and fit, surf leash, and a PDF are all included in your rental.SUP rentals are on a first come, first served basis. If there is a particular board that you want to rent, please call the shop 805.962.SUPS (7877) or email us in advance to see if it is available. We offer hourly, ½ day, full day and multi-day rentals; lessons and rental availability is always subject to our discretion based on weather, waves, and paddler competency...Our instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, and stoked to give you the best standup paddling experience possible. You will learn to standup paddle only on the best SUP boards and paddles available. Our instructors will fit you with the properly sized board and paddle according to your weight, height, and ability...ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL!Standup paddling is an easy sport...but, without proper instruction...it's easy to do wrong...we see people on the water all of the time potentially wrecking their elbows and shoulders with bad paddle technique...and, people falling off for no reason other than they are on the wrong board... We have a great "try before you buy" program offering lessons with top of the line standup paddleboards and paddles...and, expert instruction...we require that you RSVP, so that we can tailor the boards and paddles to clients who are interested in certain models or types of boards...Hope to see you soon :) Mahalo!
