SUP Shack Santa Cruz

"I had a wonderful stand up paddle board lesson with Trudy. (Or Trudie, didn't catch the spelling). I had never been on a board before and the SUP Shack was the perfect place to start. I was nervous because I had an accident on a balance training board a year prior, and even though this was totally different and much safer, I started out a bit frozen. Trudy was very patient and taught me everything I needed to know to be standing with confidence 20 minutes later. 11/10 would recommend!"

"I wholeheartedly recommend Trudie and Sup Shack for all your paddle boarding needs. Trudie is very knowledgeable and in hour that we spent together I learned more about hard paddle boards than ever before. She really cares about her customers and their needs, takes time to find the best fit for each person and gives incredible deals for the gear. My husband and I were lucky to get two Brusurf hard paddle boards for an incredible price, and Trudie helped us with everything that we will need in the future for our paddle boards. I am looking forward to going back and participating in one of the paddles organized by Trudie, she cares about community and is very well known around, I am very happy that I got to meet Trudie in person."

"We had a lovely afternoon on the water. Trudie was accommodating and personable. I'm already planning to go back for more."

"Perfectly located near the Crow's Nest at the lower end of the Santa Cruz Harbor. So you can paddle around and then grab some food and a drink afterward. The staff were friendly and helpful. They accommodated our unexpected change in plans, and we were still able to paddle the harbor. Can't say it enough: the staff here are so helpful and kind. We had a great time. We'll definitely rent from SUP Shack Santa Cruz again."

"SUP shack is a wonderful place to rent a kayak. Prices are very reasonable, $30 for a single, $40 for a double and a extra $10 for each additional hour. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time. Kayaking is only allowed within the the Santa Cruz harbor and within the woods lagoon, do keep that in mind if you believe you can take the kayak anywhere you please."
