ABOUT:: We've been in business designing and selling boards for over 20 years...thousands sold to date... This isn't our first rodeo...working with master shaper/waterman Sean Ordonez, we designed and produced the first epoxy, high quality, durable, lightweight, molded sandwich production SUP's in the world...the boards that started it all...surfboard glassing factories weren't big enough to handle standup paddle boards...these were the hall of fame SOS SUP's, "Big Red" and "Big Blue"...that was 5 years ago...light years in SUP time... We were the first fully dedicated SUP storefront in North or South America... We were also the first SUP company to install mast tracks on their SUP boards for a windsurf option...we've been ahead of the SUP curve the whole way...and, we're the still the leader...regardless of the trust funded, gold rush mentality, copycat efforts...two streets over...and, across the planet... The first step in buying a standup paddle board and paddle is to CHOOSE A LEGITIMATE SUP STORE...you know, one with a REAL PHYSICAL STOREFRONT ADDRESS... staffed by REAL STANDUP PADDLERS... Welcome to the real dealio... Check our standup paddle (SUP) images galleries...we're not like the plethora of online SUP stores cropping up everywhere on the web these days, built by pimple faced teenagers, and college undergrads, on a laptop as a class project with WYSIWYG canned software and using small cartoon-like board images...or, some guy with a mid-life crisis needing a 2nd income, or gear at cost, so he throws up a blog focusing on the mundane and boring events in his life...SUP posers...yawn...;-) REAL SUP businesses contribute to the community by hiring people, paying city and state taxes, contributing to fund raisers and enviromental causes...hosting free learn to SUP demos (we taught over 600 people this Summer), organizing and hosting SUP races, and providing superior customer service...we've been doing it for years and years...not weeks or months... READ OUR CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS... we take great pride in our customer service...we offer the highest quality products at the most competitive pricing and staff our store with the most knowledgeable staff to ensure that you always receive a pleasurable shopping experience... You can drive to our store or call during normal business hours...10 AM - 5 PM seven days/week...or, email us 24/7...we make our living the old-fashioned way...by earning it...WE'RE HERE TO HELP! We ship all over the world...our shipping department is the best in the business...all boards are double boxed at no extra cost... We're keeping the STOKE level high and the overhead low...as America's # 1 standup paddle board store, we're shipping your paddleboard direct from our paddlesurf warehouse, to you wherever you are in this great land surrounded by water... We've taught over 600 people how to standup paddle in Santa Barbara this Summer on our fleet of SUP's, for free, with our extremely popular "try before you buy" program usually scheduled the first Sunday of the month, March through September...other people prefer our more personalized year-round private individual, or group lessons, with lesson costs being refunded towards the purchase of board and paddle...
It's a fact...we have more boards...the best selection...the best construction...best value...and, most importantly, the best service of ANY shop selling SUP's on this planet... In our shop you won't get the "too cool for school"...with the kewl guy attitude dood on the phone, while you tap your feet waiting to make eye contact with him to spend YOUR hard earned recreational dollars...the "Golden Rule" is in effect at our shop...simply treat other how you would like to be treated...your STOKE is guaranteed...we want to keep you stoked...that's our passion. You don't have time or money to waste and neither do we...you get the most value out of your gear investment dollar by getting the RIGHT STUFF the first time...because we are the volume leader, we never have boards sitting in a corner collecting dust with an inexperienced salesperson waiting for the unsuspecting newbie to unload them on... PLEASE SHOP THE OTHER GUYS FIRST...we encourage it...it helps our business...simple as that... We don't sell or promote products that haven't proven themselves to us in critical conditions when it counts. We have partnered with product manufacturers that are as passionate about their surfing sports as you are...and, about Q U A L I T Y...attention to detail and striving for excellence... Of course, ALL of our SUP's come with with recessed handles...and, at a minimum you get a free leash and shwag bag with your purchase...we have lots of kewl SUPsports branded shwag, like paddle covers...paddle bags...rack pads...tshirts...hats...etc... Alrighty then...now that you know you are at the right place to get that SUP board and paddle package for yourself and/or family, let's chat a bit about the gear... I've been a gear head my whole life...always putting demands on the gear and figuring out ways to make it 'mo bettah...after learning to windsurf and then wavesail during the 80's, at some of the most challenging spots in the world, we quickly learned that our gear had to improve to withstand the forces and stress that we were putting it under...like taking the boards over 30mph and then launching 20'-30' in the air off of a wave and landing HARD!!!...we developed durable and lightweight epoxy boards...years and years before the Clark Foam factory closure forced surfboard makers to start trying to learn epoxy board technology... I put my science and engineering background to work in the high performance windsurfing industry helping to improve the durability and performance of the products...including launching my own fin designs... We have cherry picked the best SUP gear on the market...best value and best performance...then we add the best customer service to the mix...that's why we're AMERICA'S #1 PADDLE BOARD SHOP... WHY STANDUP PADDLE? The number one reason is because it's F U N !!! Standup paddling is easy to do for people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities...something the whole family can do...ANYWHERE THAT THERE IS WATER...we SUP on lakes, rivers, oceans, and bays...it's a fun no-impact sport that rewards you physically, mentally, and emotionally by getting you outdoors and recreating...something your $1500 investment in the stock market or gym club membership prolly won't do...it's the gift that keeps giving...it's paid for itself after the first session... Initially, women's balance is better than men's, so they will progress faster...almost everyone has an epiphany after 3-4 sessions...and, are able to start taking more power in their stroke and experiencing the addictive exhilaration of gliding across the water... SUP is a great workout for the whole body...especially, core muscles... I was the first to coin the phrase for SUP as "yoga on water"...there is definitely a Zen quality to it...seems that many people agree with me...especially, webmasters putting their knockoff SUP websites together...;-) In these hectic stress-filled days of trying to keep a job and raise a family, a SUP session maximizes your workout in a minimum amount of time...it's pretty simple... GRAB BOARD AND PADDLE...GET TO THE NEAREST WATERHOLE...STAND ON BOARD AND PADDLE...GO HOME HAPPY, HEALTHY , & RELAXED... Still not convinced? READ THIS BOARD AND PADDLE SELECTION:: Alrighty then...now that you're all fired up and ready to do this thing...let's talk a bit about the nuts and bolts of your board and paddle purchase... The number #1 criteria in picking a standup paddle board (SUP) should be STABILITY... The sport is called STANDUP...not STANDUP/FALLOFF...;-) There is no "one size fits all rule" in SUP...body weight is proportional to board volume required... We customize your board and paddle package specifically for you and your paddling venue...from flatwater cruising...to waves...to racing...we're involved in ALL aspects of the sport... We've successfully matched thousands of people to the right boards and paddles...the FIRST time... Secondly, as previously discussed...you should focus on DURABILITY... We've taken that guesswork out of the equation by the boards that we have chosen to represent... Boards are not created equally...CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY matters... These boards are expensive...we want our clients to paddle worry free without having to fix dings after every session...you don't want a board that looks like a woodpecker has pecked it to death with paddle strikes after a few weeks...as a novice paddler, you WILL strike the board until your paddle stroke improves...there is a huge differential in quality between boards...you definitely can't judge a board by it's shiny paint job...remember the old adage...you get what you pay for... YOU BUY CHEAP...YOU GET CHEAP! We size paddles depending on height, body weight, shoulder health, fitness level, application and use...etc... The paddle is as important as the board...so we stock only the best...Werner and QuickBlade...beware of cheap throw-aways included as part of SUP packages from cheap online vendors...you can and prolly will end up with shoulder and/or elbow problems with inferior paddles...we also include free paddle guards and blade covers for paddles purchased with our customized SUP packages... We standup paddle daily and have the most experienced, dedicated, and stoked staff on the planet standing by to help you through the virtual maze of options available... Please call toll free (888)805-9978 for a consultation...we'll ask you a few questions and more than likely get your SUP package shipped, and heading in your direction, the day of the order...we have the best and fastest shipping in the business...double boxing included at no cost... When it's all boiled down, we're just STOKED to be a SUP toy store for big kids...;-) |
