Stand Up Paddleboard Rentals

We offer SurfTech Universals and NSP Cruisers for rent, along with an adjustable paddle. Our current fleet has a range of sizes from 10'2" to 11'6". We provide comfortable PFD belt packs for renters 18 years and older to wear while paddling. The first time that you paddleboard at MBAC we will provide a brief orientation how to use the equipment properly and where it is stored. We have over 70 boards and we do NOT take reservations.

Paddleboard Rental Policies:

  1. You must be at least 18 years of age to rent equipment and willing to take financial and legal responsibility for the equipment you are renting (no more than 5 rentals per adult). Minors can use the equipment rented, but must be supervised by someone at least 18 years of age. 
  2. All equipment must be returned within 2.5 hours or ½ hour before closing—whichever comes first.
  3. You must wear a personal flotation device (PFD) at ALL TIMES. We have PFD belt packs for paddleboarders at least 18 years of age or lifejackets for paddleboarders under 18 years of age.
  4. You must be at least 10 years old and 65 pounds to paddle your own paddleboard.
  5. Children under 10 years of age or 65 pounds are allowed to ride on a stand up paddleboard with someone who meets the age and weight requirements.
  6. Rentals are self service, meaning that customers are expected to set up, rinse, and put away their own equipment.
  7. You are not allowed to go under any bridges.
  8. No animals or alcohol allowed on equipment. Those suspected to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be permitted to use equipment.
  9. Commercial activity is prohibited on rental equipment.
  10. The most a single renter can rent at a time is 5 pieces of equipment.
