Excellent customer service and flexibility. Booked the wrong date but the girl was working that day quickly resolved the issue and got us the kayaks that we needed with no hesitation. Had a great time with my son and his girlfriend. We saw a few sting rays and many fishes jumping above water. Would definitely recommend this to anybody who is looking for a fun day in the water.
A great experience. Jamie taught all the basics while also making the lesson relaxed and fun, which is the whole point of paddle boarding! The location at Liberty Station is also perfect for beginners. Would definitely recommend. I want to buy a board so this lesson made me feel more prepared.
Best place for paddle boarding! Super convenient location with ample parking. Employees were nice and super helpful. Gave us some good tips since it was our first time. Will definitely be back.
It was my first paddle boarding session and Jamie was awesome!! She was friendly, helpful and inspired us to continue to paddle boarding. I am actually booking another lesson for my friend next weekend. I hope Jamie will be working then too. :)
Online reservations and online waiver signing is great! Super quick and easy to navigate. The two ladies who checked my husband and I in were pleasant and knowledgeable. I had never successfully been able to stand up on the board so one of the ladies gave us a quick run down of what to do (I’m talking 90 seconds or less). Let me tell you following her tips and instructions made all the difference! Felt like a pro by the end of our hour reservation. She warned us of stingrays and reminded us to shuffle, which I truly appreciated. I was eager to get in the water and would’ve stepped right in without her warning. They also have tubs with lids to leave your property in on the shore behind their check-in tents. This will be my go to spot for SUP rentals for sure.
Went out with the significant other for our first SUP experience. Quick and easy tutorial and conditions were great. Would definitely go again. Just make sure to try and do reservations since trying to do a spontaneous walk up appointment is likely not to get you a spot...thats what we tried to do the day before and there were no slots for most of the day haha.Water was just the right temperature, the channel is extremely calm with the exception of when a boat would come by. If we were to do it again we would consider doing 2 hours just so we could sit and relax for some portion of the time.May have to try the dog SUP next time =)
Today, my sister and I had another session with Parker and as the last time, he was very informative and most patient with us. Parker knew what we needed for this session. We will be back for another session soon, Im still too chicken to stand up but Parker is understanding and makes sure that we are comfortable with the pace of our lessons. My sons are eager to take a lesson with Parker and we will set that up soon. Thank you Parker!!
We had an absolutely awesome time on the water!! West Coast was Amazing!!! Reservations were super simple, on line. We rented a SUP and a single kayak. We showed up 10 minutes before our reservation and they gave us a box to put your belongings in, which was great because we were wondering what to do with our stuff while on the water. They got us on the water super fast and the were all so kind, we had a group of Moms and kids and the sweet ladies who worked there gave us some instructions and safety protocols, then made sure we felt safe before we took off. It was a wonderful experience for our wholeGroup! We will definitely do it many more times this Summer!!! Absolutely recommend!!
My family planned for a cousin event at Liberty Station and rented a few paddle boards to share a new experience together. Everyone loved it so much we are all now looking to purchase our own paddle boards! The staff was extremely delightful and informative during the entire process. We had even stopped by early to ask if we could switch our reservation to a later time since the weather was overcast and chilly. There was an error with my rental being only given 1 hour when the time should have been a 2 hour rental. I was immediately reimbursed after bringing it to their attention. Thank you for the excellent service and hope to be investing in several paddle boards with West Coast Paddle. Keep up the great work! You guys rock! 😊
This is an amazing adventure for you and your pup. You can get an hour long instruction and Sam is an excellent teacher and she will show you and your dog how to successfully paddle board and she takes wonderful pictures too. I highly recommend it for a fun day of Sun, surf and fun. Your friends can watch from a close grassy area and there is a clean bathroom near by and of course Liberty Station is just a few blocks away. Make sure you turn on Farragut instead of the physical address given and Farragut wil take youl straight down to a large parking lot and the water. Proceed to the Orange tent and have fun!
Very fun experience. Easy to book the rental online. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this business to anyone looking to kayak. I would love to come back and learn how to paddle board. Prices are excellent t too!
I had never tried paddle boarding but wanted to for some time. I finally made a reservation for a lesson at West Coast Paddle Board Rentals. It was great-- Jamie was my instructor and she was helpful, patient and encouraging. I feel like after one lesson I am good to go back and rent a board and get out on the water. If you havent been paddle boarding, or youve been many times, I would highly recommend going here!
West Coast has a great variety of boards and kayaks for any experience level. You can even get a lesson! The area is protected from boat traffic so no worry about swells and it is easy to get to as well. Lots of fun!
Awesome! Beautiful location and the staff was courteous, professional and very helpful. There assistance in getting into the tandem kayak is much appreciated. I would highly recommend and the rental price is very reasonable, I would suggest reserving online which maid a very easy transition onsite,Would definitely doing again and would give a five star rating!
My dog and I loved our lesson with Sam and Jack a few years ago. Now my dog is a paddling pro!SUP Connection is great for renting because its so convenient. If I had my own board, I would have to either carry it to the water or blow it up every time I wanted to go out on the water. I know my dog would get antsy waiting and I think carrying everything to and from my car would be more tiring of a workout than paddling for two hours.Its easy to reserve a board online and then just show up to SUP Connection, leave my car keys and shoes by their tent, and get on the water. All the employees are friendly and helpful and the equipment is always in good condition. Really glad I signed up for their membership for the rest of the season! I plan on having a membership next summer, too.
On line reservation/payment/waiver was very user friendly and smooth. Our party ( 5 adults, 10 kids) arrived at the tent and were greeted...they were expecting us. Offered a place to put our personal items. Told us where to paddle and how long it would take. Very helpful, professional and friendly! We will definitely rent from them again!!!
I was very disappointed with customer service . I was joined by my therapist because it was my first time kayaking. Never once did the young man assisting my therapist and I acknowledge my presence. He looked directly at my therapist (Caucasian), and proceeded to inform him safety and regulations but never once did he look in my direction as I stood right in front of him. Im black and felt dismissed and ignored. Although I made the reservations and paid with my own money I was not acknowledged, just ignored and looked over as if I was invisible. So sorry to write this, perhaps he was unaware of his behavior. The interaction with this young man was very disappointing and sad. Buy the kayaking itself was great.
Today was the first time ever on a paddle board and Parker put us at ease giving a great lesson. He was patient, calm and didn’t laugh once. 😂 We, my sister and I, recommend West Coast Paddle Rentals (and Parker) for lessons and equipment.
Wes Coast made it easy for our group to get out on the water. Great day kayaking and paddle boarding! Kids had fun. Thank you!
I love being a member with West Coast Paddle rentals over there in Liberty Station!!! When I make a reservation, I just show up, jump on a board, and paddle over the little schools of fishes and look at the people stuck on land and accidentally get in some great core exercise. Sometimes the blue heron is there. I don’t have anywhere to store a board; this way, I don’t have to carry it, wash it off or anything! I can just run away after ward. Run away! Run away! And they’re so nice.
Nice place for beginning paddle board. Staff manning the booth could have been friendlier but the employee working with the paddle boards was great. Will definitely be back
Very nice employees. The kayak I used was clean and well taken care of. I love how this company is dog friendly! My puppy and I had a great time kayaking around. They even provided a life vest for my dog.
Easy check in and quick to get started. Clean, modern gear. To the point direction and teaching. We had a blast with Miley and all were up and paddling in short time. Would totally recommend and be back!
It was great not to have to pump, clean, deflate my ISUP. Great day! A little overcast but it was awesome to bring my pup for a ride too. Got my friend to experience her first SUP and she liked it. THANK YOU! we will be back for more.
My wife and I were excited to do some paddle boarding (her first time) while in San Diego and we had a great experience with West Coast! The booking process was easy and their team was friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. The location was also convenient and we had some nice choices to paddle to.
Have rented with west coast twice now and had an amazing experience. Staff was super friendly and helpful, équipement was clean. Overall great experience and will rent from them again!
Love this place, went once and bought a membership now I’m going every other day. Staff is super cool and helpful
Seamless booking online and check in once you arrive! Recommend filling out waivers online as well. Staff is super friendly and helpful- I’ve been twice with friends and family and had the best time! Will be back!
I’m stationed out in San Diego and had several friends come out from Iowa. Staff was great and super friendly. Treated everyone well. Would go back again for sure. Went paddle boarding at liberty station and it was a great area. 10/10 would recommend
Always a great experience. We were running late and since there were enough boards we were still able to enjoy our full hour. The team is knowledgeable and helpful for beginners as well!
This was a super fun experience for our family. Two adults and 2 kids fit on the Megalodon very easily, and for us, an hour was perfect. The best part... no one fell off! Great fun for us all!
Love using this place! Not only is the customer service on point but the whole paddle has a great view and workout for whatever you want to do. I got there a little late on the last hour that they were closing and they stayed behind just so I can get a full hour in. Solid company and staff!
Perfect. Couldn’t have been easier! Reserved our boards online. When we got there the boards were ready. The young man gave us a brief “how to” and we were off. We will definitely be back!!
Had a great time on SUP and kayaks. Booked through the website, showed up early and was shown right to the items. Simple, fun and good exercise. Thank you.
First time and the experience was great! Everything was smooth sailing, the instructions was clear and curt. Had a wonderful time looking around San Diego Marina quite windy!
Jamie was very nice and efficient when she checked in my son and I this morning. Her demonstration was great. She gave me information about the memberships. I will definitely be coming back to West Coast Paddle Board Rentals!
My family was visiting this weekend and wanted to go Paddle boarding. West Coast Rentals was easy to work with in reserving our equipment and the staff were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! We had a great time and recommend going to the Liberty Station Point Loma location.
So friendly and accommodating! I forgot ny dogs life jacket and you had one for me to use!! Will rent from you again!
I went paddle boarding for the first time with my friend and it was a lot of fun! Glad I chose west coast paddle board rental, it was a great location and beautiful day!
Thank you Jamie for a great first time paddle boarding. Your guidance and encouragement made it easy for us two old timers to successfully paddle board. Great experience. Highly recommend.
I had a great experience renting a kayak. They answered my questions before I rented it. Arrival went well. Really enjoyed the paddle and returning and check out went well.Will rent from them again
Always a wonderful experience! The staff is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and fun. We’ve rented both kayaks and SUPS many times. Even though we are local and own our own boards, they make it sooooo easy. With the Liberty Market next door, it’s a win-win for an amazing day!
I had a great time at West Coast Paddle Board in Liberty Station! I signed up for the hour long lesson. The instructor was quite patient, and as a 74 year old with no previous SUP experience I was quite nervous! She made me feel comfortable and I am ready to try it on my own!
I am a senior citizen who loves kayaking at the SUP Connection. In August of 2021 it will be my 6th anniversary of kayaking at the SUP Connection. I rarely skip a week. I kayak for 1 hour. I was uncertain about trying it 6 years ago, but I am so glad that I did. The water is calm most days in that part of San Diego Bay, perfect for beginners. There are no 2 days alike in that part of San Diego Bay. You can head north to the Marine Corp Recruit Depot. Or, you can head south and then east into Spanish Landing. Or, you can head farther south and then east into Harbor Island. From the mouth of Harbor Island you will have an amazing view of the downtown San Diego skyline. Whatever route you take, you will encounter very few, if any jet skiers. You will feel safe. The people who work there are super nice and super helpful. They are young and very fun to talk to! When I started 6 years ago I needed some help getting in and out of the kayak. I don’t need help any more, but the employees will help you as much or as little as you like. Most days you will see something that you have never seen before! That part of San Diego Bay is endlessly interesting!
I’ve rented paddle boards here twice and had a great experience each time. The hourly rate is competitive, they offer online booking which is really easy and convenient, and the employees are friendly and knowledgeable.
Staff is always friendly and helpful. Great place to go on calm waters. The SUP CLUB is a great deal for $60 a month unlimited. Love these guys.
WCP was overall friendly, informative, with basic instructions. We had a fun time out kayaking today. Also the liberty station areas waters are calm...made for a relaxing day and the prices were afforable too. Thank you we will definitely be back!
Great experience! Gave us a quick refresher on how it all works and we were off! Very fun and great location!
Easy and friendly. A great paddleboard rental experience.
My boys had a great time!! Will be doing again when we visit Liberty Station.
Great service. Great location. Reasonable prices. I will be going back.
Great experience! Highly recommend. We will be back :)
We had an amazing time. Thank you so much! They didn’t sweat us about being late and the equipment we rode on was clean. Riding the megalodon was easy and really enjoyable for a couple of beginners. We sure appreciate the lessons from your friendly staff
Such a fun experience. The instructor was so helpful and made our experience memorable. Definitely doing that again. Highly recommend West Coast PBR. Thank you so much guys!
I learned a lot from Joey. He is a good instructor and he works with you at your comfort level. I highly recommend Westcoast Paddle rentals and price is very affordable.
Everything was ready when we arrived (10 minutes late due to map issues)…friendly efficient staff had us debriefed, life/jacketed and in the water in 5 minutes. Reasonable prices, too.
Great paddle board and great service! Easy online booking too.Fun experience!
The staff is always super friendly and helpful. The location is beautiful and there is a lot to do nearby. I highly recommend West Coast Paddle Boards!
Jamie was so awesome! Very knowledgeable and patient! She made it so much fun.
I have rented from others in the past... not all rental companies are created equal. West Coast has it figured out... Easy online reservation and waiver process and outstanding customer service. Liberty Park area has lots of parking and the best waters for paperboarding too-- calm waters, very few boats, and scenic.
Definitely the best place to paddle in San Diego with our pup, friends and family; super friendly staff. We love Jamie and Miley!!! Theyre always smiling and so friendly. BTW, best prices in town!
The whole experience was very pleasant and easy! We had no experience in paddle boarding before, but the staff there gave us quick instructions even though we signed up for rentals, not a class. Strongly recommend.
The staff was very friendly and attentive. The online reservation and waiver system really makes booking the afternoon easy.
Friendly and efficient. Very nice hour spent on the San Diego waters. Maile was great. Thank you!
Very easy process to rent the stand up paddle boards online. Then when you get there the staff is very friendly. Where you launch the paddleboard is off the sand and a nice easy grade so you can stand right onto it. I highly recommend this company
Miley was great… very attentive, understanding and helpful
Always friendly and very helpful staff!! We have always have a good time paddle boarding.
Excellent service, new equipment and sane prices!
Hands down the best in the business!From the start Maile and the staff were courteous, professional, and extremely flexible with our company group event. Most in our group had never been in any kind of water device but we were given a thorough instructional and allowed to start the fun! Staff helped us in and off the boards and kayaks in order to help prevent launch/ arrival tip overs and gave us all great tips because the waters were unseasonably choppy. Like I said, most of our group had never been on the water but with the great instructions, tips and guidance absolutely no one from our group fell into the water. We enjoyed the flexibility of being able to come back in and switch from a kayak to a paddle board and vice versa or remain on the beach under the pop up tent that was included in our package. For a group of 20 this was great and while we do plan to come back with a larger work group, many individuals mentioned they will be returning to rent single boards/ kayaks because they enjoyed it so much. Also appears they offer doggy companion stand up paddle board training… umm, YESSSSSS!!!!!
We rented kayaks for a nephews 16th birthday and everyone had a great time. The staff was helpful and flexible and made the experience awesome. Well definitely go back!
Every experience with West Coast Paddle Board Rentals has been positive. Very friendly team, especially Miley! Highly recommend!
Excellent company and staff. Very friendly and accommodating. Had a great time.
Second time using this company and location. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Perfect location to start out. Seamless process. Several types of SUP’s and kayaks available.
Amazing day. Easy to reserve. We got 2 kayaks and had a beautiful day
This was our first time Paddle Boarding and due to our excellent teacher Jamie, picked it right up. We will be back next week to rent for an hour or two and go out in our own.
They were open and set-up before our 10am appointment and gave us a quick tutorial before we got into the water with the paddleboards
My first time paddle boarding was a great experience! Maile was my instructor, and she was super! Her instructions were clear and helpful, plus she was cheerful and friendly which made it all the more fun! I highly recommend West Coast Paddle Board Rentals and if you take a lesson be sure to ask for Maile as your instructor!
Awesome staff, great location! Couldn’t ask for a better SUP experience than this!
Awesome! Never disappoints! Can’t wait to go back on the water again! :)
Friendly and helpful staff! Great location!
Very fun we took our toddler kids and they had a great time. Definitely will do it again.
Very Awesome! Fast And Easy. Will be Coming Back Definitely
Super friendly people, easy rental process, definitely renting SUP’s here again in the future!
As usual your staff were outstanding even on a very busy morning. We keep coming back.
I had a great time. Was my first time kayaking and they were very helpful and gave me helpful instructions. A++++++
Very convenient location, perfect water for a beginner to learn in and Jamie was an awesome instructor. We look forward to coming back.
Jenny was great, answered all our questions and was very nice. We had a great experience and will definitely go again!
If you like to paddle board and also like to be spammed with emails and texts then come here. I had a good experience at this place. However, right after finishing our service I began receiving emails and messages requesting a review and they would not stop. It has been three days and I have been bombarded with unsolicited communication with no way to “unsubscribe” or request an end. Please stop emailing me and texting me.Update: it’s been two weeks and I’m still receiving emails!!
Great location, solid equipment and super friendly and knowledgeable staff! I’ll be back!
Always a great experience! Easy to book, friendly staff and incredible paddling experience.
Our group of 12, ages 4 - 60 had an amazing time and we are so glad Parker was our instructor for the newbie in the group. We will be back!!!
Super fun and easy experience. I would do it again.
Super convenient and easy rental, the paddleboards are good quality and stable.
We enjoyed the time and customer service was very helpful. Thank you we will be returning.
Paddle boarding was an absolute blast!! Maile is a great instructor!
Great place to launch and awesome staff!
Very well run operation and always pleasant and helpful.
We had a great time! The online booking (private lesson, party of four) and waiver process was easy and uncomplicated. Our instructor Miley was very friendly and explained everything in detail. While on our boards, she took good care of every individual and gave useful tips. Now that we got to know the basics, we will surely come back to rent boards.
