My sweet ride for the day, big thanks and shout out to Jonathan and Jen Epic Boardsports, these guys are full of knowledge, friendly and passionate about what they do! I'm on to a new adventure and learning to Wing Foil, I've spent the last two days out here and it's awesome. If you have a chance and are in the area, drop by and check them out. Great bunch of local people who love water sports. Cool vibe in the shop and plenty of gear for Winging or SUP, I was truly impressed with the layout, the stock, prices and the owners. You really can't go wrong here and my expectations were far exceeded! Head in and learn something new, take a SUP tour or lesson, get out and enjoy this great time of year!! read more

Lucas S (Puerto Rico): Quite an unfortunate experience with Epic Board Sports. Strongly recommend that this shop utilize insurance when sending to out of state customers. I ordered a wing on Mar 2, it was delivered to my condo complex on Mar 6 and the product was missing from inside. I pursued the issue with my mailroom as well as the local post office and both entities said to work with the company because the package should have been insured so that a claim could be submitted. Unfortunately the package was not insured. As a result I am out $800+. I tried working with Jonathan and Jennifer and neither of them acknowledged the issue but rather blamed my mailroom stating that it was signed for and as a result they washed their hands of the issue. The shop came highly recommended from my buddies at Patrick AFB and unfortunately their level of customer service was not up to par. This could have been prevented by applying insurance onto the package and allowing the USPS claim process to work itself out. I will not be ordering from this company again and will warn the Wing Foiling community here in Puerto Rico of the same. Lucas C. read more

Jennifer & Johnathan are awesome! They were great helping us arrange a sup rental & giving pointers for our trek. If you're looking for an amazing experience with great peeps, check this place out! read more

My family and I had so much fun trying paddle boarding for the first time. We even brought our dogs! Jon and Jen were very kind, accommodating and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Epic and the sport of paddle boarding to anyone visiting Cocoa Beach. We will be back for next year's vacation! read more

Epic experience! Bf and I were looking to do something fun in cocoa beach for the day and decided we wanted to do SUP. We came across this place and were originally hoping to book a tour but they only do tours at 8 AM. We rented anyway and glad we did! Jennifer was extremely helpful in getting us set up and giving us the 411 on SUP, as well as a local place to eat and beach when we were done. Successful day in Cocoa Beach! read more

Great gear, super friendly service, and a fun break right out front! Totally appreciated that they had the gear I needed for a day rental. I only had a few hours in the surf, and they had exactly what I was looking for. If you need SUP surf gear in Cocoa Beach, hit up Jennifer and Jonathan. Totally knowledgable, great shop, and great vibes. Will hit them up again next time I'm in the area needing gear. read more

Jennifer was great! I was between Orlando and Cocoa Beach on vacation and was looking for a place to paddle around Cocoa Beach/Melbourne area with a 11 year old riding along for the first time. She gave me great recommendations! We had so much fun. I had brought everything we needed to paddle, so I didn't buy anything, but she was super helpful regardless and it was very appreciated. I'm not good with finding the right places for recreation in new areas, so it's always nice to have a friendly local to give the inside scoop! I couldn't thank her enough! read more

I would go to a negative 10 if that was a rating choice. My wife and I simply pulled in to an almost empty parking lot and got out of our truck to go to a nearby business. Before leaving the vehicle we were approached by a man in the parking lot who said we couldn't park here. I said okay and turned around to return to my vehicle and simply stayed that I did not see any do not park on the premises. He took a step closer and pointed to two signs out on the street and started claiming that I had a bad attitude. At this point I had barely said any side way words to him and looked at him in surprise. Realizing that any further dialogue was pointless, I got into my truck- while he continued to berate me more loudly that I had a bad attitude. If this is the type person running this business I could certainly see why he had no customers; hence, his bad attitude. read more

Such an outstanding experience. Thank you to Jennifer for working with me in advance to find the perfect paddle boarding option for my group and then keeping us updated with weather reports! We ended up changing dates because of a cold front coming through, and it worked out fabulously. Jonathan guided our tour, he offered to change up our tour based on what we wanted and our fitness/experience level. We saw multiple manatees, and several groups of dolphins -- terribly exciting. Thanks Jonathan and Jennifer -- it was probably the best experience of our week-long vacation. read more

Epic Boardsports is great!! We have taken a lesson in Paddle Boarding as well as later rent boards on our own. The owners are great so thoughtful go above and beyond to make sure your are comfortable and have everything you need as well as having a great time. They are passionate about paddle boarding and it really shows in their service. I will definitely be back it is a awesome time on the water!! read more

Cocoa Beach is hands down one of our favorite vacation places and I had been dying to try SUP. They were closed on a Monday but promptly returned my email via their website to set something up for Tuesday morning. They showed up early for us at 9 then we headed just down the street to start our 2 hour tour. We had the most amazing time! I had really just hoped to gain some experience paddle boarding with a nice view but Jonathan was so much more! We saw an amazing amount of wildlife including dolphins and manatees. Do yourself a favor and skip the discount paddle board tours and go enjoy a tour or lesson with these folks who are obviously knowledgeable and love what they do! Next time we come back this will be at the top of our priority list read more

Was surprised to have my experience at Epic Board sports: it had good reviews and was recommended to me by a friend in FL. I'm not marking experience as terrible because they a) have great location, b) have quality boards (but not paddles) and are polite. Here is why it was bad: 1) I described to Jen my level of SUP surfing skills (~160 hrs surfing=beginner). She put me on Hokua 8'8 which is designed for late take offs on steep walls and carving. It was like paddling a door on 2-4' slow rolling FL waves. I later checked board reviews on standupzone.com and sure enough FL surfers were complaining about Hokuas. Jen of course knew that and most likely the board was offered as a rental because Hokuas don't sell down there. Why not have rentals that work in local conditions the best? She didn't have adjustable paddles to offer. I prefer longer paddle, but had to settle for just a couple inches above my head. That was a first for me at a SUP rental shop. 2) I explicitly told Jen several times that I wanted the board for only couple hours. She said it was $50 minimum to rent from them. I didn't question that because her shop was recommended by a friend and it turned out that we had other common acquaintances in the SUP industry. She had my trust before I walked in. I grabbed their leaflet and a card on the way out of the shop after I dropped off the board. Turns out that they have half-day rental at $35. I looked at my receipt in hope that it would say that the Hokua that I rented was some premium board rental option and instead saw that she charged me for the full day rental. Business must be very slow for her to make that choice. Needless to say I didn't go back. I stayed in Cocoa Beach for 2 more weeks and rented from other shops. If you are in the area and end up at Epic Boardsports to rent SUP board for surfing, do the research on the boards that work best for FL waves and make sure to see the rental rate in print for the amount of time you want to rent the board for. I'm PaddleFit Core certified coach and I want every one in the SUP universe to have the best experience. read more

This was my group of 6's first time trying paddleboarding and it was an AMAZING experience! We had the best time, we couldnt stop talking about it after! And Jennifer, our guide and the owner recommended when we should go and what time we should go and she couldn't have been more spot on! Plus she was so knowledgeable - in regards to how to paddleboard, and the wildlife! We would highly recommend you try this and let Jennifer take you on a beautiful experience (with dolphins and manatees included) down the Banana River. If we come back to Cocoa Beach, you can bet we will be back to go Paddleboarding again! read more

Jonathon and Jennifer are the best! They helped my husband and I select our first boards. They spent so much time with us discussing all the boards and helping us decide on the best board for each of us. They are passionate business owners and care about the customers. You will be super happy with their selection and customer service. We checked out other shops before Epic and not a single one gave us as much service and information as them. They have high quality boards, no cheap "shipping container overseas specials" here. Support small family owned businesses and stop in here for your SUP supplies. read more

We bought a second Starboard SUP from EPIC, they delivered it to our beach condo yesterday! We love this shop - great advice, service, selection, inventory, knowledge. And the family that owns it, delivered the SUP to our Cape Canaveral condo for free! The carbon fiber SUPs they have in stock, are light as a feather, and absolutely make me drool. As my skills improve, I'll be thinking about adding a high priced carbon fiber beauty to my SUP quiver! read more
