How To Stand Up Paddleboard: Where to Get Your Gear
You do not need to bring a board with you to learn how to stand up paddleboard. Local rental shops can hook you up with everything you need. Most will give you a quick beginner lesson so you know how to stand, balance, and turn without immediately taking a dive. Below are some local spots:
BoardHouse Surf & Skate: They offer stand up paddleboard (SUP) rentals, paddle included, so you can enjoy gliding across the water, with pricing that varies to fit your plans.
Port A H2O: They offer stand up paddleboard rentals by reservation, with options for a marina rental (including drop-off, pick-up, and a lesson) for $40 per board with a 3-board minimum, or a full-day/24-hour rental for $45 per board if you have proper transport.
Gettin' Salty Watersports: They offer stand up paddleboards for rent so you can enjoy exploring the calm waters of Port Aransas at your own pace and take in the beautiful coastal scenery.
How To Get Started on Learning To Stand Up Paddleboard
Start in calm water away from boat traffic.
