We take pride in offering the largest retail selection of watercraft in Northern California, which also means we have the largest demo fleet.
Our demo program is the perfect way to help you find the right gear. We provide on-site demos of SUPs, prone paddleboards, kayaks, and surfskis. Our take-away program is stocked with fantastic equipment for you to try before making a purchase, including foil boards, wings, SUPs, prone paddleboards, surfboards, kayaks, and surfskis. Say goodbye to buyer's remorse!
Here's how the program works:
Our on-site demo program begins with a non-refundable deposit of $100. This deposit can be applied to the purchase of any SUP, prone paddleboard, kayak, or surfski in the shop. We will then take out any watercraft you wish to try and put them in the water behind the shop. There's no rush; you can take as long as you want on the water. The $100 deposit is valid for two months and can be used towards the purchase of the watercraft you decide to buy.
Our take-away demo program has varying rental rates depending on the type of equipment you choose. With each demo/take-away rental, you can apply the rental price towards your purchase, with a maximum value of two rentals applicable to your future purchase.
