Highlights

Interested in renting a Kayak or SUP in Santa Barbara? Come stand up paddle or kayak at our downtown location. This is the newest beach rental stand in Santa Barbara located on the sand just to the right of the pier. Easy entry into the water with a kayak or sup as there are no waves to battle from this location making it easy and fun for the entire family. The best part, you can get to the open ocean if you like within minutes and to the buoys that are always covered with seals.

Please note: You must know how to swim in order to rent with us. There is a high probability that you won’t have to swim or be submerged in the ocean but as a safety precaution, we ask that everyone renting from us knows how to swim.

Solid - Friendly, responsive service but the board wasn’t the one I wanted. Given the price, I was hoping for something a bit sportier!
