Paddleboard Rentals - Just $20 for an all-day SUP rental!
Rent a stand-up paddle board and hit the water! Covewater has the largest rental fleet in California! Whether you are a first time paddler, or an experienced SUP veteran, we will take the time to pair you with the perfect board for your needs to make sure you have a great time on the water. No one can match our selection, expertise or personal care. These are all quality built, epoxy SUPs from the sport's leading manufacters -- not low-end "foamy" boards like you might get stuck with elsewhere.
Rentals include a paddle and, if needed, simple roof straps (we'll load the boards for you) so you can quickly and easily drive away with the boards to wherever you like (we are just a few blocks from the Santa Cruz Harbor and Cowell's Beach). You don't need racks or anything! We easily and safely put up to three boards on any car, everyday. We've been doing this since 2010 without a single problem.

We have a huge fleet of more than 35 paddle boards available for rent (listed below), including many beginner-friendly and “soft-top” boards. Reservations are recommended for weeekends - especially when the weather is nice. To reserve a board, just email or call the shop.
If you end up buying a stand-up paddleboard of your own at any time, any rental fees you've paid while trying different boards for yourself are discounted from the cost of your new board*. A wetsuit generally is not required for stand up paddling, however, if you wish to use one, we have a large fleet of new wetsuits avaialable for rent at just $5 per rental.
Paddleboard Rental
~ $20 for the day! (Pickup and return same day - no hourly time limits!)
~ $35 for 24 hours
Multiple-day and week-long rentals are also available.
Frequent Renter Card
The Frequent Renter card is good for six stand-up paddleboard rentals whenever you like. Good for one person per day and does not expire. A great way to try several stand-up paddle boards before you buy. The cost of of the card is rebated if you choose to purchase a new board! $120 for six rentals. Not for use with groups - only for individuals. Thank you.
Cancellation Policy
A four-hour advance cancellation by phone is requested for rental reservations so we can release your reserved board(s) to others. That's all.
