South Tahoe Standup Paddle

We had so much fun paddle boarding. The lake was actually warm! I was doing head stands on that shit! Super friendly staff & easy to get to.
Thanks. We will be back.

WOW selling used SUP’s for $ 400. Now thats a deal! What a cool cat (Chris). Xmas anyone? Thanks for all the 411! cheers J

Patty made learning how to paddle board very easy! She was very helpful and friendly and gave us advice on what to do in Tahoe. She was also good at helping our group out on the water and made us feel very relaxed.
I thought that it was also very convenient that they gave us lockers at the site to keep our things. The tent location is very conveniently located right on the beach, so you do not need to be taxied from one location to another. They’ve also got rentals for what I thought was pretty cheap. $ 10 for 1 hour of paddle boarding and $ 15 for any extra hours. You even have the add on option of a mini lesson if needed (which costs, also).

The best SUP yoga experience, Jenay was an awesome teacher and was super nice. I would recommend to anyone who loves SUP or Yoga and has never tried the combination. The early risers get the best of the lake, its peaceful and the panoramic views are priceless.

We went to this place looking for paddle boards little did we know that the service would be awesome and with the purchase of our tee shirts we got these thick durable pull-​backpacks. The paddle boards were sturdy and easy to use. The workers were super friendly and helpful. I would totally come back to this place for paddle boarding in the future.

This was our first time renting at the lake. We all had a fun time. We arrived early and left before the rain could get the best of us. Very convenient, reasonably priced, friendly staff with a great location. Rented a SUPP for 2 hours but decided 3 was necessary. They were fine with us keeping the board longer and settling the difference upon returning the board. The equipment looks very well maintained. They have a set up out on the water for paddle boats and kayaks. Couldn’t have asked for more. Pleased with this first time experience — hope to return to rent or buy. :)

SUP is our go to place for paddle boarding. Nice people and what I assume is a fair price.

The best part of this is being able to rent the SUPs right on the beach. The staff was friendly and professional. We had visited the day before and filled out the waiver on their IPAD, but changed our mind due to the windy weather. When we arrived the following day they recognized us and we got our boards quickly– even though a large group was a head of us. I recommend this business.
My boys (15,12) wanted to try SUP for the first time. They had a lot of fun cruising around El Dorado Beach. It is a family friendly beach with shallow water. My boys took the SUP boards out past the shallow part. I tried it and have to say — it takes some practice and good balance, but overall we all had a great time.

Visited Tahoe in mid April and was surprised to find that this place was already renting kayaks (though it was very warm and not much snow has fallen this year). After filling out waivers and contact information on an iPad, was instructed to head down a block down to the beach where two other employees would meet us with a double kayak. It took a little longer than expected for us to get ready, so we were given an extra half hour of time for free (in addition to the hour we payed for)! Although the water level was very low (probably ~1 foot for a significant portion of the lake near shore) it was a very fun experience. Would definitely come back here again. Breathtaking views from the lake too. Oh, and will definitely try the paddle boarding sometime too!

Visited last week on vacation, and these guys did a great job setting us up with 2 SUPs and a kayak. The service was very good and accommodating. For example, we weren’t sure if we would be out for longer than an hour, so they charged us for an hour initially. When we returned slightly after 1 hour, they said it was close enough, and left the balance as is. That’s always a nice gesture.
It can get a little backed up when a few people are filling out the waiver on the iPads as we found out when we returned to buy some sunglasses later. But that’s to be expected. Would certainly visit again, as the prices and equipment were great and the water was even better!

Wow! Amazing way to experience Lake Tahoe! Beautiful views to soothe the soul; we even spotted a bald eagle! Incredibly kind and helpful staff, Chris and Robin are so friendly and patient — willing to answer any questions and help a beginner paddler. The boards are already right on the beach, and the water was so clear and warmer than I imagined! My boyfriend and I went out early in the morning as recommended and couldn’t have started our day better.
A Must in Tahoe!

The staff here helped us select the right kayaks for our large group and then gave us a quick lesson on how to operate the vessels. Our group included two kids, 3 and 6, a teenager and adults up to nearly 60 years of age. We all had a ton of fun!
Prices were very reasonable, staff was terrific, lots of kayaks, paddleboards and fun on the water!

Nothing but good things to say. Conveniently located right on the beach. Reasonable rates, they accommodated our request for a half hour instead of full hour, and when it started raining hard a few minutes into our second paddle boarding session, they gave us our money back quickly, no hassle.

While friendliness is important, efficiency is a big one on my list when it comes to good customer service. I do have to say the staff was friendly, and equipment seemed new.
However, we waited on the beach forever just to talk to someone behind the counter. There were 4 groups in front of us, usually just couples wanting a kayak or a sup.
There was a wait list at the time. But seriously how long does it take to write down someone’s name, phone number, and the equipment they need? We were in line for a good 20 minutes.
When it was our turn, the process was cumbersome. What happened with signing a one-​page paper waiver? Do we really have to use an iPad for everything to fill out some 4 pager waiver, with our personal details? What’s wrong with providing just the ages, did they really have to know all of our birth dates too? With all of our emails and phone numbers. If that’s a tactic to get our contact info to sell to marketers, then I’d be really pissed about that.
The two/​three people behind the counter were so inefficient, I was completely annoyed. Is common sense really that rare of a quality?

super friendly staff abd great location on el dorado beach. the water is shallow for a quarter mile out and generally warmer than the rest of the lake.
they offer three types off boards, from standard, stability, and super stable. if you have any athletic ability (even a tiny bit) try the standard for a bit of a challenge!

First time with the SUP, and we had a blast! Very helpful staff at the beach. We went to the shop first by mistake, but all rentals are down on the water. We were able to take our dog which was also great for us so nobody had to stay behind. Highly recommend for people of all skill levels (or none, like me).

Dropped by to see what they had in stock (SUPs). Walked in through a café and the store entrance was directly to the left. A very nice lady greeted us as soon as we walked in. The store was cute with SUPs on the wall and above. They had the SUP model I was hoping to find, along with some accessories. Now I know where I can get what I need!
Parking was a bit challenging because of construction, but there’s a spot somewhere!

We spontaneously walked into this place. Our friends & us had never done SUP before and they put us at ease & were so accommodating. Their prices were reasonable so we decided to go for it! Our friends have a 1 year old & didn’t want to be stuck on the sand with her so they suggested getting a 2 seater kayak. It was very stable & conducive for the baby, so all 5 of us were out on the water together. We only planned on staying out on the water for about an hour but had so much fun, we stayed out longer. We had a great time & were impressed by the friendliness of the owner & employees. We will most definitely be back.

We just visited their shop today and rented paddle boards and a kayak. They were very nice and helpful but also laid back which was great. We had a great experience and will definitely come back!

The staff was über friendly and made our entire experience enjoyable. My wife and I parked our car at the shop, rented our gear, and then walked down to the beach. The walk down to the beach is about a 2 minute stroll. There they have a kiosk which we just presented our coupon. The water at El Dorado Beach is shallow which worked well for my wife since she doesn’t really know how to swim. Would totally come back and do it again. On and if you want ice cream afterwards there’s a shop at the top of the stairs.
