“Paddle boarding here was perfect for someone looking for a chilled paddle. There's also looooooads of wildlife. I saw tons of seals along the way as well as various big birds. The owner is super nice, knowledgeable and passionate about the local wildlife. Can't recommend it enough.”

“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.”

“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 agai”

Trudy was very patient and taught me everything I needed to know to”

“Trudie is kind, welcoming and very helpful. If you are a first time SUP (stand up paddle board) she offers tips and tricks. I appreciate the personalized customer service. The only place I rent my boards from. I plan to buy a board from her soon. Kayaking is also a fun option and she can accommodate my group of 8 to 10 friends!”
