Olympus Standup Paddleboarding

Michelle was so nice over the phone and text when I tried to book last minute for paddle boarding. We went over a little and they didn’t give us any issues. Michelle tried to get us an instructor too and called around, but it was a bit pricey for us. Overall they were great. Definitely going to book the yoga paddle boarding ahead of time next adventure I can back in La!

Great service! We rented three paddle boards. We were all first timers. They gave us a detailed brief tutorial before they let us hit the water. We were out for two hours. We returned and turned in our boards with no problems. Great group of people run this business. Definitely recommending this place to people.

Jeremy was the best and the whole crew is so nice. They made it super easy to get on paddleboards and we could cruise around the marina or easily get out into the ocean. Can’t wait to go back.

Me and a buddy wanted to go standup paddling and I emailed Jeremy @ 9pm friday night for a 8:30am paddle, he responded and educated me on everything I needed. Then we showed up, were well taken care of by Jeremy and his team. We had a great paddle session and even saw a humpback whale. Once we arrived back they helped us out of the water and allowed us to hangout in the water, swim and sit around like locals for an hour sipping cold beverages in the harbor… floating beverage garden… There are not many people like jeremy and his crew out there who genuinely want to provide you with a great experience like they did. Great experience all around…

I’ve been lazy lately writing reviews but these guys deserve the extra few minutes of my time needed to write a good review. I called and talked to Jeremy who was super helpful and friendly. Without advanced notice I called and gave him a time and number of peeps in the group, he set us up with Jino (I think that was his name) who was running the show at the docks down by the Portofino. He was really friendly too. Since I’m super frugal I parked on Catalina and walked to the end of Portofino where they’re located. Jino gave us the rundown of paddleboard basics and we were off in no time… they don’t have lockers for your valuables but they will let you keep it in their shed… if you’re super paranoid about your stuff I’d suggest you get a waterproof bag to keep with you on the paddleboard. They have beer, soda, and snacks there. The dock gets super hot on hot days so bring sandals! $ 25 for 2 hours, I think that’s a great deal and I’ll probably be back here again.

Love these guys, they offer such great service and always make sure the customers are happy and safe

We rented paddleboards while on vacation in June; price was great, service quick and easy, owners friendly and helpful! The location was great for beginners, and they were helpful with instruction. There was plenty of sea life to see, especially sea lions. We had such a good time!

Jeremy & Bryan were AWESOME!!! They deliver 5 star service! I initially signed up with another paddle board company for a lesson and didn’t feel warm & fuzzy. So, I looked on Unilocal and found Olympus. Jeremy was so kind and friendly the moment I called. He was very helpful and informative as this was our first time. My cousin was visiting from Oklahoma and I thought paddle boarding would be a awesome experience. Last minute I called to see if they had any availability. Jeremy was so kind to to accommodate us last minute and get us out on the water. He was apologetic that his regular instructors weren’t available but offered one of his new guys in training. We were completely cool with this and just happy to be on the water. Jeremy not only accommodated us last minute but also offered us a discount since Bryan was still in training. What a awesome business!!!
Jeremy was out of town in Hawaii and even text me (5am his time) to make sure Bryan called us to confirm our lesson that morning at 9am. Now that is over the top EXCEPTIONAL service! Jeremy is beyond great. Even when he’s thousand of miles away, he’s making sure his clients are taken care of.
Bryan was a great instructor. He walked us through everything and continually checked if we were comfortable taking the next step. He took tons of pictures of us and sent them that day! He has a great personality and was very easy going. He made sure to point out things that my cousin from Oklahoma would never know (i.e.:the Body Glove boat, Garibaldi fish, etc.) Bryan also spent additional time with us so we could go out on the open ocean. How great is that??? Bryan was knowledgable of the wildlife and we both learned a lot and had TONS of fun. I can also thank him for loaning me his sunscreen as I couldn’t believe I forgot mine at home.
I’ll definitely be back and would definitely recommend Olympus… no doubt! You will have a great experience with them. They are helpful and never make you feel clueless. Their instruction was detailed (even down to what to wear). This is now my new favorite place. Can’t wait to take my husband out with Olympus!!! Give them a call! You won’t regret it!!!

Been here for years and started renting a board, I met Jermy a few times he is always with some Paddle Boarders so I got the scoop on his boards, and for $ 30.00 bucks you can go for half a day basically and have a awesome time, not a lot of drama… He has boards for sale as well and from what I can see cheapest in South Bay he said he had one for me that is $ 799.00 out the door and it comes with a paddle I am so damn stoked I have stared saving my 15.00 a hour to buy my own… Go down there he is AWESOME !

These guys are my go to for my paddle boarding needs. they always find a way to help me get rentals when I have friends wanting to go out with me. Staff is very knowledge yet laid back. Looking forward to purchasing my race board from them soon!

Jeremy, Michelle, and the knowledgable staff at Olympus have never let me down after a decade of snowboard, skateboard, and standup paddle services. I’ve rented and purchased various gear over the years, always the best quality tested by them personally. Repairs have been timely and well done. Most of all the atmosphere is friendly and warm and everybody is extremely helpful. The trips offered are well organized, but I’m most impressed with their mission to be environmentally sensitive and mindful of marine wildlife and to develop a strong standup paddle community.

Such a great experience! I started out with SUP classes before transitioning to the SUP yoga. Jeremy was so nice and patient in teaching us the SUP basics.
The SUP yoga classes are great. Perfect for beginners and those with more experience. So peaceful on the water. The sea lions add to the fantasticness. Only taken Michelle’s classes so far, she is awesome. Heard great things about the other instructors.
It’s all done within the harbor so the water is calm, no choppiness at all. I was nervous about the waves since I don’t have sea legs. So calm, water didn’t get to me at all.
One side thing that I love is that everyone with Olympus really cares for the environment. They fish litter out of the water and surrounding rocks as they go along.

This is a great place to buy standup paddleboards. Good selection of rentals to try. Jeremy is very knowledgeable and not just trying to sell you something. I shopped around and they had the best deal on the package I wanted. .
I had a problem with my wife’s paddle a little under a year after buying it and they replaced it no receipt required and no questions asked. They also have great trips, events and classes. Highly recommended

Great service! Great staff! Great prices! Great selection of paddleboards and snowboards! Take a few minutes and go chat with the owner Jeremy, he and his team will put you on the water with all of the right equipment. If you’re new to the sport, take a lesson and if you want a challenge, take a yoga class on a board! You won’t regret it.

I took an early morning SUP fitness class with Jeff today and had a blast! Jeff is a wonderful and kind instructor, AND, it was nothing short of spectacular to be out on the early morning water along with the seals and pelicans.
Oh — and Michelle (the owner?) is really awesome, too! I highly recommend Olympus Standup Paddleboarding to anyone who wants a GREAT SUP EXPERIENCE!!!

I took my first couple paddleboarding classes elsewhere, but never continued because it was too far from home. Little did I know this gem existed right here in the South Bay until a year ago! I’ve now attended almost 20 SUP yoga and power hour sessions, and it’s become one of my favorite forms of exercise. Thanks to Michelle and the other teachers, I overcame my fear of paddling in the open ocean, and my balance has improved drastically. Olympus is awesome — I dare you to find a better deal for classes and rentals in southern California! Their shop is located in Torrance, but their classes and rentals all meet right in King Harbor. Tough, expensive parking is my only gripe, but this goes for any coastal area around here.
