I wanted to take my dog on his first SUP or kayak adventure. I've been a few times before, but never with a dog. Due to my poor planning, we were on our way to the bay to visit a local competitor's business, when I realized that I needed a reservation. Cue my panic and frantic internet searches, I gave SUP California a call at 3:30pm on a Tuesday in the middle of July (peak season) and they were able to get us two SUP boards. I made payment over the phone and within 15 minutes of the call, they met us exactly where Google maps tells us to be. We signed some liability waivers on their phone and were on our way! They provided us with life jackets, but we had our own for the dog (not sure if they carry dog jackets, so please talk to them before assuming). Overall, it was a great experience, they gave us pointers on where to take off from, areas to explore, and landmarks to look for on our way back. We called them when we were done and within 10 minutes, they were back and collected the items. I had a wonderful time and will gladly recommend them! read more

SUP is a mobile rental shop. I made a same-day reservation and met Ben at the end of Dawne St for an epoxy paddle board rental. Ben was personable, gave me tips on where to go based on the weather conditions, and had excellent customer service. I paid $50 with taxes for the epoxy paddle board (the foam board is $4 cheaper) and got to use it for up to 5hrs. When you're done, you just give them a call, and they meet you within 10-15min to pick up the equipment. I highly recommend SUP, and I would use them again! read more

SUP California - Paddleboarding Near Me - San Diego, California

My friend and I came to San Diego mid-June to visit and last minute decided we wanted to paddle board. However a lot of locations already had rented out all of their paddle boards and it was already pretty late in the afternoon (4pmish). We called SUP and the owners were so nice they let us rent out 2 paddle boards and even held our stuff for us while we were paddle boarding. They even offered to let us use the equipment for an extra 30minutes. I HIGHLY recommend renting from here I can not reiterate. Plus the location is really nice if you want to have a chill beach day with friends. There's a lot of volleyball courts on the sand too if you want to play. I would 11/10 come back again. Thank you for allowing us to rent from you. :') My friends and I greatly appreciated it. (They even took a photo for us) read more

SUP California was super easy to work with! I reserved online, texted a few changes and met the operators at the end of Dawes St. in Pacific Beach.

SUP California - SUP California!! - Paddleboarding Near Me - San Diego, California

Great location, nice boards, easy and fast. Had a bunch of fun. I didn't find a store front, they just deliver the boards to the bay. I didn't call first but I should have. They happen to have 2 paddle boards at the location in their website. read more

Ben took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed to have a great day! They also deliver the paddleboards right to the Bay so you don't have to transport them in your cars. Highly recommend renting from them! read more

SUP California - Paddleboarding Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here last Monday with my sister. It was a good day to go, wasn't crowded at all. I think we met up with Ben and another guy whose name I can't remember right now. But both guys helped us get the boards to the water, made all the guidelines super easy to work with, even gave us tips on where to navigate so we're not struggling against the currents. Whenever I come back , I'm for sure renting from these guys again. read more

Excellent company! They we extremely helpful. Communication was A+. I texted to let them know we are arriving at the location and got a response back within a minute! Said they will bring the boards even earlier for me. Equipment was excellent. And the location is superb! This is perfect for beginners, novice or pros. We had the best time. And will for sure use them again! read more

They were able to help me with paddle board rentals for my daughter's birthday party the day before the party due to a different company having to cancel. Easy communication and gave great suggestions on where to paddle board to avoid currents. Will definitely use again!! read more

Carl was super polite and provided fast service. We were in the water within minutes. He also gave us pointers on which way to head given the wind and current. At the end of the day, I gave Carl a call and he picked up the boards before we were done packing. Please note, this was on a Wednesday afternoon, so there may have been fewer folks out compared to weekends. There's no doubt that Carl does his best! Thank you Carl! Keep it up! read more

Amazing and super helpful! We rented 3 SUP for the day, pick up and drop off were so easy and convenient! We even spotted dolphins in the bay, awesome day on the water! read more

Awesome service and accommodated my big family last minute! They will define our go to for rentals!

Best rates in Mission Bay by far! Ben hooked us up with all-day SUP rentals and met us where we chose, which was the Santa Clara Recreational Center because of all the parking. He was punctual and got us all set-up in no time. Once we were finished and started heading back to our drop-off site, I just called him up and he arrived shortly after. Will certainly be going through SUP California again. read more

We called Ben to see if he could do a Mon- Friday weekly rental for two SUP's that wouldn't break the bank. We had originally walked over to the SD Aquatic center to rent there but it was significantly more expensive and not convenient for a long term rental. Ben was super friendly and gave us a great rate. He also provided drop off and pick up which was super convenient. The boards worked great as we are a very satisfied customer. I would absolutely use this place again! Had an awesome time at the Bay! Thank you! read more

SUP California was very efficient and quick with their service. The workers all had great attitudes and I will definitely be back here again. I had a fun time. read more

Big shout out to Ryan who communicated with us early in the day to coordinate timing and location. It was amazingly convenient to meet him at the beach and he made sure that we had everything we needed to have a great experience including assistance with adjusting paddles etc...We rented at another location a few months ago that was more expensive and kind of a nightmare getting out of the marina on paddleboards with kids. We really appreciated the price, the convenience and the very great service. We look forward to another great day on the bay. read more

SUP California - Paddleboarding Near Me - San Diego, California

Easily the best deal I was able to find in San Diego for SUP rentals. A flat rate for an all day experience, and they'll meet you at the bay and literally bring the board down to the water for you. Super easy to communicate through text or a simple phone call. I'm really glad I went with the rental company and definitely plan on coming back soon!! read more

I booked through JustkayakSD a couple times last year and loved their service! I was so stoked to be able to rent a SUP paddle board (my favorite again) over the holiday weekend, and as always the service and gear did not disappoint :) I will always recommend booking through these guys - they're the best! read more

Had a fantastic experience here for my first time trying SUP! We called last minute and were able to get rentals asap. They texted us an address to meet at that was close to the beach and they brought the boards down to the water for us. Plenty of free street parking in the neighborhood which was really convenient. Great location for first time SUPers. You can go anywhere in the mission bay, which is a pretty large bay. Great weather and water isn't too choppy at all, even in the winter (we came in February - gotta love California!) We used the Yelp deal for $30 for all day paddle board rental. AMAZING DEAL! I believe normal rates are $45 for all day rental and $35 if you purchase ahead of time online. We were told to paddle for as long as we wanted and just call/text around 30 minutes before we wanted to leave for them to pick up the boards. Payment was afterwards as well. Overall, an awesome, fun experience. Great quick and hassle free rental process. Highly recommend this place for any SUPing you may want to do in San Diego. read more

Shout out to Colton for taking my several phone calls about renting Kayaks and SUP's so me and my boys could enjoy the day at Fiesta Island. He explained they do delivery and pick up (totally reasonable fee) so I didn't have to worry about trying to fit them in my car or pack them on top. Got 2 Kayaks and 2 SUP's delivered and picked right on time!!!!! We had a blast! Thanks SUP! read more

Friendly folks! Got a lesson on SUP and proceeded to practice techniques for an hour. I look forward to working with them again.

Ben and John are extremely friendly! We rented SUPs from them the same day we wanted to paddle and they were so quick to respond! We were able to get boards within 2 hours. My friends don't know how to swim or paddle, so Ben gave us a mini lesson and we were on our way! They are extremely flexible and nice. They also rent kayaks- I will definitely be renting from them again. read more

So convenient - if you've ever had to carry a SUP any distance, even on wheels, you know it can get heavy really quickly. And for kids it can be impossible. So having Zeke bring the boards right to the water's edge is such a great service! He was there on time, is very responsive to any queries and is fast to come pickup. He's friendly too :) only downside that it can still be tough to get a park in this area but it's worth it when you finally are parked. read more

SUP California - Easy - Paddleboarding Near Me - San Diego, California

SUP California was great from the start to finish of our experience. We made reservations online and called to confirm that we didn't need to pick up the boards. Parking is like most beach cities, drive around until you find a spot on the streets. After that, walk until the end of Dawes street meets the beach. SUP was waiting, boards next to the water. We signed a few waivers and we were off paddling around the bay. Will definitely rent from them again. read more

Today a friend and I rented a paddle board at the last minute from these guys. Ben was super accommodating and hooked us up with a great board, life vests and even a waterproof cell phone case so we could take the classic pictures to prove we actually stood up. The drop off location was perfect for slipping right into the water! Thank you so much SUP California for making the last day of our Mission Beach vacation so memorable! I'm looking forward to using them again! read more

We had a great experience renting from SUP California! This was our first time paddle boarding and they explained everything and were right on time. I would definitely rent from them again. read more

So glad I checked Yelp to find a place to rent a paddle board. After reading some of the reviews from some of the "big guys" it seemed like I'd have to carry and clean off my own equipment. Since I'm a little lady, carrying an SUP board an unknown distance is not something I want to get into. Saw all the great reviews for Zeke and $35 for all day rental and was sold. I was a little confused as to where to get the board, but Zeke found me at the appointment time and took care of getting the board out to the water for me. I wished I could've stayed out longer, but next time I'm in San Diego, I'll definitely rent from Zeke again! They also rent out kayaks, surf boards....I feel like I'm missing something...so check it out! read more

We had a great time! We walked right up and asked if they had any available paddle boards and they had a couple to rent (usually have to reserve online and they'll drop off for you at the agreed upon meeting time). Fair prices, especially compared to other places in the area. Super friendly staff. Would recommend read more

Ben's a nice guy! Hooked us up for the day on a nice discount! Had a groupon for a kayak but let us use for paddle boarding. Good quality, inexpensive. Recommend! read more

5 Stars with No Reservations on our part!!! SUP California did an outstanding job for our little family. We are sort of picky when it comes to quality and customer service, and Ben and SUP California did it for us! We were renting in Mission Beach near 3 other equipment rental businesses on the bay. When we looked at reviews, they all had some great reviews, but they also had some horrible reviews, especially about customer service, terrible attitudes and horrible equipment. But we could only find 216 positive reviews about Ben and SUP. In fact, they were all 5-star reviews, and form our experience, Ben deserves every one of them. He was super-fun, appropriately professional, and still laid-back, kind, generous and patient. He took time to deliver and carry our boards down to the water, and he showed our girls how to use them. We especially appreciate that he gave us safety tips on a windy day, suggesting landmarks and best practices for a fun and safe afternoon. Based on our short experience with Ben, you won't be let down and left with regrets. read more

I was super happy in choosing SUP California to rent paddle boards for the busy 4th of July weekend. Not only were the prices the cheapest I could find for a full day's rental, but Zeke was very accommodating and helpful in getting us our boards. He was also very easy to get a hold of and made the whole process a breeze! I'll definitely be using them again! read more

We rented paddle boards today from sup california. They were super helpful and accommodating. The attendant was friendly and gave us tips and threw in a waterproof phone case. They have all the supplies you need such as waterproof cases, life jackets, sups and paddles. Everything was quick and easy! I highly recommend sup California for your paddle boarding needs! It was definitely a fun day! read more

There is almost too many positive things to say about SUP California! It was mine and my sisters first time paddle boarding in San Diego and I choose this place because of its great reviews and holy cow did they not disappoint! We were greeted with smiles and truly down to earth folks who were so courteous to my sister and myself! They are very educated and helpful when it comes to staying safe out there on the water and gave us very helpful tips to keep us safe! While I was paddle boarding, I made the silly mistake of letting my paddle fall off of my board while taking pictures and it disappeared into the bay... but when I told the two amazing employees (sorry I forgot your names!) who helped us in the beginning what happened, they were super chill about it and we worked out a deal to replace the paddle I lost and they happily gave me a new one that I protected with my life! Overall, if you ever wanna paddle board or kayak, hit up these amazing people and they will give you an amazing experience you or your family will never forget! Thank you again SUP California! Y'all are awesome! read more
