The most friendliest and easy-going guys to work with ever! He makes the business of renting boards and equipment so easy. He also upgrades his equipment yearly, so he has the latest and greatest. You also can't beat his location. Just grab board and jump in the water! I definitely recommend using this place for rentals.

Matt who rented my hubby and I our SUP gear and wetsuits was as knowledgable and kind and helpful as they come! The experience was terrific- SUP'ing on a mellow, calm, beautiful ocean doesn't get much better than anything (super therapeutic).
