This is my favorite place to rent SUP and kayaks. Prices are very affordable and less than anywhere else in OC. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. They provide tips and lessons in using the equipment and best ways to see the bay. Their sunset and glow tours are very fun with a group of friends and a special OCMD everyone. Highly recommend as an alternative to hitting the beach every day!

This is a hidden gem in OC! Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Katherine and Will were very accommodating with our large group of 9 adults. They provided excellent instruction on how to use the equipment and the best locations to go on the bay.
