Had an inflatable board that was damaged. More than one place told me it wasnt repairable. Todd told me to bring it to look at and decided he could repair it. Brought it in, picked it up a few days later. Good as new. He made sure it was holding air before giving it back. The patch itself looks solid. Price was fair. I had lost hope of getting this board back usable. So glad I stopped in to check. A+ (And say hi to Jake when you stop by too!)
Awesome experience!! First paddle board lesson, and it was a great one! Todd the owner, is very thorough about everything. He is an excellent teacher, patient and fun! I highly recommend Livin Salty and Todd!
We stumbled on Livin Salty while visiting from out of state and are so glad we did. Todd helped us find the perfect surf board for our sons 17th birthday present. Todd was informative and experienced. He gave us excellent advice on selecting a board to fit our sons experience and size. The boards were priced great and excellent quality. When we brought our son back to pick up the board, he was thrilled with the board and the fins Todd recommended.
Weve been using Livin Salty Paddle Sports and Surf Shop for over a year. Every time we call, Todd either picks up the phone himself or gets back to us immediately. The best customer service ever! Great prices on great equipment. The owner is knowledgeable about recommending the right gear, the right route, wind/weather, etc. Even better, he is very laid back and has no problem dropping off equipment and picking you up on your own schedule making our busy vacations easy! I cant say enough good things about his shop. An overnight camping trip to the North end of Anclote is highly recommended!
I came down from Virginia to spend a week on vacation with family. Found this great shop while checking for a paddle board! Todd and his brother, Ron were so helpful! They even let me make an appt on Monday to get the board of my dreams!! Love the fact that it’s a custom board and only 1 of 2 out there❤️ Thank you so much guys for making this a memorable vacation!!
After renting paddle boards for years I was finally ready to get my own. Having only the knowledge of how to ride and nothing more, I was helped and guided down the perfect path to choosing the right board. I was trying out one of their boards and came back in and they immediately sent me back out to keep riding saying “go have fun.” Couldn’t have asked for a better experience anywhere. The most worthy 5 stars I can give.
Great shop! Todd was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping us pick out a skimboard for our son. That have a great selection of SUPs with unique designs as well. We will definitely be back!
Great shop. The owner Todd was super knowledgeable and friendly. Taking the kayak to the water from the shop. Thanks Todd!
I had been debating for a few years about what kind of Paddle board to purchase. Todd, at Livin’ Salty had the knowledge and expertise to guide me in buying an appropriate board and paddle for my ability and needs. He worked with me on a great deal for a sturdy, stable board. The board we chose was the 10’6” Dolsey Glider. Excited to have my own board!!
Thankful that a friend referred me to this hidden gem. Todd is knowledgeable and took his time asking all of the right questions to get me hooked up w/ a super clean setup at a great price.
The owner is awesome, bought a beautiful board and he took time to give me a lesson! I learned a lot and would recommend them to everyone!!!
Attention new paddleboarders: If you have wanted to get into paddleboarding, but have no idea what you are doing, you are in the right place! Livin’ Salty owner, Todd, will answer all of your questions, he provides amazing lessons, and as a plus, he has A LOT of patience, (trust me I tested that with all my questions, he is the most chill person you will ever meet)!Todd loves what he does and wants to share his knowledge and love of paddleboarding with others so they can enjoy this sport safely and confidently. I highly recommend checking out Livin’ Salty if you are interested in paddleboarding or need a refresher. You will be cruising the ocean in no time!
My fiance and I each purchased a kayak from Todd (and Jake!) soon after moving down to Florida. Todd is the man and Jake is amazing. We went on a quiet Saturday afternoon, I believe, and Todd sat with us for at least a couple HOURS and talked about various things - from questions we had about kayaks / SUPs, to life in general, to good tips and local spots in the area. He even provided a great recommendation for some J-hooks and an optimal setup for two Kayaks on one car.This guy knows his stuff and is great, dont go anywhere else. Prices are competitive, his knowledge is untouchable and I cant recommend highly enough.
Great service! Nice custom made boards And more! It was a pleasure to get my Paddleboard there
Our daughter had given us a gift certificate from Livin’ Salty for SUP lessons. We had some hiccups in our available time and Tod was really great about scheduling the lesson. We loved the lesson! We had an excellent teacher!
Beaitiful new store near downtown clearwater with great selection of quality boards. Todd will get you set up perfectly for you needs and skill level.
Had a fantastic and professional experience with Todd (and made a new best fur buddy in Jake). He went above and beyond to escape knowledge and make sure I was comfortable with my purchase decision all while working hard to open his new location. Very accommodating owner and very fair prices. I will definitely be back for more equipment!
My wife and I rented a SUP and kayak. We were concerned about it being windy, but Todd mapped out a perfect route for us working with the tides and wind. The price was much lower than other rentals nearby. We cant wait to visit and rent from here again next year!Look forward to meeting Jake next year.
Great service! Great products! Todd Rocks!
Joined in with the tour of Kings Bay and Three Sisters Springs near Crystal River, Florida on Sunday 6/3 . Wow what an experience. Todd proprietor of Livin Salty offered a great and very knowledgeable tour of Kings Bay / Three Sisters Springs. Looking forward to joining in on future Livin Salty’s coastal excursions and would highly recommend to all !!
Awesome paddling trip to Weeki Wachee with Living Salty Todd was a great guide!
Large selection of paddleboards designed by the owner. Many with cool custom graphics!
Todd’s shop is great! Lots of variety. He is knowledgeable and helpful. Understands your needs and helps you pick products according. He gives 5 star lessons and is a patient and fun teacher!
I’ve loved my board from Livin Salty so much! So when I put a hole in it a week ago (apartment door slamming on it), I sent Todd a text right away. He immediately put my mind at ease when he told me it was a simple repair. Not long after it was finished and I can’t even tell there was a hole in the first place.The customer service is fantastic, all of my family memeber’s boards have come from this shop, and we would have it no other way.
Love this shop! The owner, Todd, really knows his stuff as well as the local waterways. I just recently purchased a SUP from here & he is beyond fair in pricing. Highly recommend you make this your stop for board/kayak rentals, outings, or even a purchase!
Todd is awesome. Hes got a great selection and great prices. Hes helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. He helped us choose the best board for what we wanted to do and made the whole experience enjoyable. Plus, when my husband needed to hurry off to work before we could get a roof rack set up, Todd offered to deliver our new board himself. DEFINITELY will shop here again, we have a new favorite spot.
Great SUP experience!! Our trainer was very helpful and easy to work with!!Highly recommend!!
This shop is amazing. Not only does it offer an incredible variety of boards/kayaks etc but it opens the doors to an amazing lifestyle as well. Todd is the absolute best - so friendly and so knowledgeable - he not only provides the best prices but offers the best social gatherings such as paddle yoga, water tours, pup and sup with the dogs!! Weve put together a few ladies morning out Paddle Yoga sessions through this shops board rentals and couldnt have been happier!! Wed never go anywhere else!!
Todd is a really awesome dude that knows his stuff!! His shop has a wide verity from surf boards, paddle boards, kayaks, paddles and all different styles and material, which is pretty rad! 🤙🏼 I bought a beautiful 10ft baby blue inflatable paddle board with a giant, white mandala design on it and was so happy with my board that I also bought a 12ft kayak thats perfect for my big football player boyfriend!! Todd is an awesome dude with awesome boards and I highly recommend going to his shop!!!
Todd is absolutely fabulous. We wanted to kayak on New Years Eve day, we picked our route and then met Todd. With his experience, he notified us of the wind direction and the tides, changed our route. Without him, we wouldn’t have enjoyed our 6 hour kayak trip! Thank you Todd, we 100% appreciate you and your experience .
This is a great store. Todd took me out for some lessons on a stand up paddle board and I was hooked. I purchased a board a few weeks later. I had wonderful experience and will be getting all my surfing needs from here!
Great place and very helpful staff. I am new to kayaking and I had a lot of questions and the person took the time to answer them even though I didnt buy my kayak there. Definitely would recommend to not only get your kayaking things but also a great experience
Love this place. I have known the shop owner for years. Todd is knowledgeable, friendly and always a cut up. His more than fair prices and courteous, helpful disposition make this a gem of a place for all your paddle sport needs. Stay salty Todd.
Todd took really great care of us and set us up with some killer boards at a phenomenal deal! Very helpful and knowledgeable and he really wants to make sure you are happy with your board!
Todd provided our party of four with an introduction to paddle boarding lesson this morning at Crystal Beach. Todd was very informative, attentive to our needs and provided excellent instruction. We had a great time and Im sure well be back! Thanks Todd!
If youve never been on a paddle board or if you have but got zero guidance from the company you rented from... you MUST take a lesson from Todd!! What a world of a difference it makes to have someone give you detailed directions on how to use a paddle board. Todd made this experience educational, enjoyable & relaxing.
Livin’ Salty has such a great selection of paddle boards, paddles, kayaks, bikes, skateboards and accessories. They also have a wide rangeOf rental equipment available and is located just a few minutes from some of the most beautiful beaches in our area. I have enjoyed several group SUP sessions and they are always a fantastic time.
My Wife and I stopped by to check out some kayaks. The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable. We didnt receive any sales pressure which was nice. We did not buy kayaks that day but will be back when we are ready. Prices were competitive also.
Great service! Todd is an awesome guy. He went out of his way to make renting kayaks from him a great experience. Best prices in town too.
What a fun experience!! Todd the owner took us out for a lesson on the paddle boards. He was very professional and took his time with us. Definitely a comfortable experience. I have been looking and researching places to take a lesson with paddle boards and this was one of the most affordable and personable places yet! I really appreciated how I didnt feel like our time out was on an hour time limit and it was so affordable! I I highly recommend Livin Salty!!!
Wow this is the best locals Surf Shop Ive ever been to. You dont only get hooked up with the right board for you at a great price. But when youre new in town you get all of the hot surf spots shown to you on the Maps and everything you could possibly imagine. Totally an awesome place to go Todd rocks
I was here to confirm the location is in the Causeway Plaza, Dunedin Florida, in that process I did meet with the owner, he was very friendly and helpful. He offered Kayaking and Paddleboarding touring events. I would love to schedule and participate in the kayaking events in the near future. The store appears to have a great selection of sporting needs.
Todd is very knowledgeable and friendly! I got just the right board at a lower price than online! Solid selection of paddle boards and surf boards along with accessories. He also can deliver rentals around tarpon springs. Support local business and shop here!
Excellent experience renting kayaks from Todd this weekend. The kayaks are all in great condition (just like new). Todd is super accommodating, he meet us at a local drop-in point and got the kayaks into the water for us; when we were done for the day, he was there within 5 minutes of our call. His dog Jake is great too :) Will absolutely go back to Livin Salty!
Todd helped my son with the purchase of his first surf board. Excellent attention to his request and his experience/abilities to provide the right board at a very fair price. No pressure, laid back...and knowledgable...the way it should be. Thank you Todd for a great experience.
We had a great experience with Livin Salty. Todd and Jake (his pup) delivered our kayaks directly to the Dunedin Marina. Very convenient. Excellent equipment. Highly recommended.
I recently purchased a kayak from Todd. Im new to the area and Todds direction on paddling on the Anclote River and the Gulf was extremely helpful. Youll never find a chain store that will give you the kind of attention and input that Todd does. He treats his customers like friends and he will connect you with a community of paddlers...for a newbie to the Tarpon area this is so greatly appreciated. Even more, Todd was kind enough to deliver my kayak to my house and he gave me a complete run down of my new boat. Even better, I know I can call Todd anytime if I have questions about my new boat or paddling in general. I couldnt be happier and Im excited to get out onto the water with the community he introduced me to. For me, its very important to buy from good local folks. It makes a difference for you; the service youll will receive is uncomparable. And supporting a local business owner is so important in these times.
Great new store! Awesome owner. ..quick to answer questions. Very competitive prices too!!
If you are looking for a one stop water sports shop - this is it. Todd has a great assortment of gear and accessories for SUP & kayaks! I have purchased a Sharkbanz & accessories for my board and paddle. I’ve also done his paddle sessions at Sunset Beach - if you haven’t ever paddled he will get you standing up in no time, if you paddle often - you will have fun in his group sessions! Great addition to downtown Tarpon Springs!
Bought my son a new kayak. They were very helpful and knowledgeable with helping us make a choice. Nice variety of kayaks, paddle boards, and paddles. Even gave me a nice shirt for making a purchase!
Great new local Surf Shop. Diverse selection of SUP boards and more to come. Adding new things all the time. Had a chance to talk with the owner and is a knowledgeable man and knows the local waters. Come in and see what the store has to offer.
Todd was awesome. Had a great time and will definitely go paddle boarding again.
My son and I rented a paddle board and a kayak and were very impressed with this shop. Owner/manager Todd is delightful, and went the extra yard to make sure we were completely satisfied. We will be back, and I recommend Livin Salty to all who love FL water sports.
Todd is incredibly kind and caring! Very helpful in all aspects of our rental.
First time Paddler. Todd is extremely patient and knowledgeable. His method of instruction is outstanding! Had me up and enjoying the sport in minutes!! Never fell of board.He stayed right with group, very attentive to every individual. Im hooked!
Great experience with Livin Salty! From our first lesson to new obsession! Great selection of boards and accessories, highly recommend Todd to anyone interested in SUP
Todd is awesome. Genuinely loves SUP and it shows. Had a great time paddling with him, plus he goes above and beyond when helping you choose the right board or gear.
Great shop! Nice selection of paddleboards, surfboards, really amazing swimsuits for women, flipflops and accessories for your water needs. Todd was very helpful with his knowledgeable on boards and to what would fit my needs. I was able to demo the Long Island Board to try out before I purchased it. Loved that I was able to do that before my purchase. Rentals for boards so all around great shop! Ill definitely be back again for more gear!
My wife and I are beginners in kayaking and they took the time to show us all the options. Great customer service. Will definitely buy from again when we decide to upgrade.
Loved the whole experience at Livin Salty. Todd is very knowledgeable and took time to help me find the paddle board that would work best for me. Love my board! First time I have purchased an item and received one on one hands on instruction. Todd was very patient and encouraging and covered all the fundamentals of the sport. Highly recommend Livin Salty, he has a great selection of paddle boards and accessories and some of the most unique swimwear. Im hooked!
Todd and his dog Jake were great. My girlfreind and Daughter rented a Kayak for 4 hours and he gave us some pointers of great spots to check out. We had a great time. Very personable and profesional. Even gave our daughter a couple bags of sea shells. Made her day!
I highly recommend the group SUP paddle board at sunset. So beautiful and relaxing! Todd takes care of all the details, you just get go show up and enjoy.
Todd met us at the local launch with two kayaks and later met us to help bring the crafts back to his trailer. Very helpful and great service. Highly recommend.
Have been on a couple SUP sunset tours and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great place for finding your calm on the water.
Dont know how to paddle board? Never fear! Todd is a great teacher and he has beginner boards that are really stable! Try it!
Had a great time on the water seeing all kinds of aquatic wildlife on our rental paddleboards from Livin Salty! It was an amazing experience for us all!
Ty and Tyler hooked us up. They not only ensured we had the right equipment. They also got us strapped to the roof with our new SUP board securely. They also tossed in a t-shirt.
Excellent instruction. Friendly staff and a great community of paddlers.
I shopped all over Tampa Bay for a quality paddle board. After going to numerous shops I ended up at the awesome Livin’ Salty Paddle Sports. Livin’ Salty has quality boards such as Pau Hanna, Yolo, and Fanatic. It was a hard decision, but I ended up with an awesome YOLO turtle board. After all You Only Live Once ( YOLO). The owner, Todd and his sidekick Jake ( the ship dog) were very helpful and made the buying experience awesome. Todd even showed me how to load my board on my roof rack with ease, as well as how to unload it easily. You will not regret checking out Livin’ Salty Paddle Sports in Dunedin, FL.
Met Todd last winter he helped me try many of his paddle boards, no pressure,no hype just quality awesome service and knowledge of local launching areas. I bought an Adventure board and couldn’t be happier!!
Todd has filled a huge void in this area. Highly recommended!
Great ship with knowledgeable staff providing quality gear and safe instructions for anything to get you on the water with a paddle. Visit Todd and check out some of his awesome Livin Salty shirts in mens and womens styles.
The place to rent paddleboard. We loved our lesson with Craig.
Thank you so much for coming to our town, Tarpon Springs needed you! A really great atmosphere & great people! Cant wait for our next paddle adventure!
Had a wonderful experience with Todd and Craig at Livin Salty. Contacted them for a SUP lesson for me and my two daughters, we were out on the water the next day and began to participate in their SUP group tours shortly after. Very accommodating! Very knowledgable! Tours were super fun, all different levels are welcomed and there are always great people to meet and beautiful places to discover. Todd recently helped me purchase my own boards and was so informative and patient with helping me make a decision on the best boards for my family and I. I would recommend Livin Salty to anyone who is looking to buy a board or SUP with a trustworthy, local company.Jessica K.
This shop is awesome, Todd is incredible. So friendly and really knows his stuff
Great shop lots of cool boards and gear, had my first lesson and great instruction and fun. Will be purchasing my board from Todd for sure.
My friend and I stopped in to check out Livin Salty just before Christmas. She ended up buying a beautiful Pelican Athena kayak. Well I started looking into what was available and did some research. I decided to sell my previous kayak and upgrade mine and stopped back in and bought a Pelican Strike 100x angler.I got her out on the water on Saturday and I was extremely happy with my purchase. My friend and I spent hours at Werner Boyce salt springs park. The kayak is well made and nice and light. I can see myself using this kayak a lot more often than my old one and keeping it for a long time.Doing business with Todd was hassle-free. I recommend anyone to check his shop out if youre in the market. He is very knowledgeable and has a can do attitude. I am super stoked to see him at Anclote very soon! Thanks Todd for the beautiful kayak. I love it!PSJake the doggo is the best greeter on the planet!
For a first timer SUP. My wife and I couldnt be more happy. Great recommendations, great accessories. We couldnt be happier. Todd was great to work with!!!
Todd is probably one of the nicest guys I have met in a long time not only nice but honest you dont meet too many men like that I love my new paddle board I bought. its the newest thing called rookie from three rookies Island not to mention his excursions are so much fun because he is so much fun I cant wait to this Thursday yay
Todd went thru a phenomenal education about the different boards and what would work best for what I had in mind. I went in knowing knothing about board shape, thickness, curve, etc. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and used it to help the process, putting me on the perfect board at a great price.
So MUCH fun! Todd was professional, patient, and a great instructor for the newbies in the group! Paddle boarding at sunset is a must!
Great local establishment in Tarpon Springs. We really needed this. Todd has a good thing going. Paddle Boards, Kayaks, SUPs, clothing. You must check it out.
Shopping local at Livin Salty is the way to go. Todd was welcoming, knowledgable, had great prices, and made our purchase beyond smooth. Its clear his love of the water is something he is more than willing to share. We will be returning for more gear for sure.Todd and his dog Jake also made our water loving 4 year old Emma thrilled. She has been dragging her gifted mermaid board everywhere and practicing paddling and popping up to show mommy how real surfers and real paddlers do it 😍.Jen, Greg & Emma Halstead
