WE ARE AMERICA'S OLDEST (EST. 1999) & MOST RESPECTED RETAILER OF STANDUP PADDLEBOARDS...
THE MOM & POP ONE STOP SUP SHOP THAT STARTED IT ALL...AMERICA'S #1 SUP CHOICE SINCE 2005...
WE ARE CUSTOMER FOCUSED WITH HONEST, PERSONAL, AND KNOWLEDGABLE SERVICE...VALUE & INTEGRITY ARE #1...
Purchasing a SUP package is not a routine "click & buy" process...especially, now with a tidal wave of crappy generic discount knockoff boards that look like unshaped foam...and, paddles better used as doggie "pooper scoopers" that are being sold at MEGA STORES (by people that don't standup paddle) between the aisles of toilet paper and stacks of cheap TV's & shoes...also, popping up overnight on flea market style "here today/gone tomorrow" websites spouting blatant lies about how their generic boards made in labor exploitive factories are twice as good, and cost half as much as *REAL* SUP's...that's BS...BUY CHEAP...GET CHEAP!...
What they won't tell you, (or their supposed jillion Facebook "friends") is that they weigh almost twice as much as the ones we sell and last half as long...and, have ZERO RESALE VALUE...even worse is that once they leak H20 inside and cook on a hot day, you'll have to pay a dump disposal fee...not good...not green...;-)
Cheap SUP's don't have a *real* board shaper's name on them and are not vacuum bagged with sandwich epoxy construction like ours...that's why they're cheap!
YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR WITH US...AND MORE! OUR BOARDS WILL EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS...UNMATCHED QUALITY, DURABILITY, & PERFORMANCE...
We were established in 1999 and are going into our 14th year of business (not 14th week or 14th month...;-) by offering the best products, at the best price, with the best customer service...KNOWLEDGE...INTEGRITY...and, HONESTY are our core values...you'll get the right board...the first time...GUARANTEED...
OUR KNOWLEDGE BASE IS ORDERS OF MAGNITUDES BEYOND THE JOHNNY COME LATELY, NICKEL/DIME SUP COMPANY ONLINE "STORES" TRYING TO GET YOU TO BUY THEIR CHEAP STANDUP PADDLE BOARDS (WHO SHAPED IT?) WITH "FREE SHIPPING" AND ZERO RESALE VALUE...
HEY, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE, RIGHT?...;-)

After you're done with this page, click here for even more stand up paddle surfing content.  WHY STANDUP PADDLE? Dave Kalama on standup paddle surfing: "I really like the fact that I'm learning and there's still a lot to learn about it. It makes mediocre surf really fun again and it gives you that excitement and that enthusiasm to keep you driven to go out and play in the surf every day which keeps you healthy and keeps your attitude right and keeps life good."  QUESTION OF THE DAY: When you turn on your board...does it return the favor by turning you on? OUR SUP's DO!!!...{:~) We produce and carry the best built, and best performing, standup paddle boards on the market. We are a leader in the sport of standup paddle surfing. We were the first company in the world to manufacture lightweight and strong, production vacuum bagged, sandwiched construction, SUP's...and the first company to introduce these boards with factory installed mast tracks. We've been selling SUP's since 2005... Standup Paddle Sports ™ is also the FIRST dedicated standup paddleboard shop to open it's doors to the public in the Americas. Conveniently located near the waterfront in Santa Barbara, CA. We have more SUP boards in stock, in more colors and sizes, than most of the other shops put together...and, more arriving almost daily. You can make arrangements for board pick up at our Santa Barbara warehouse (directions), including pad installation, fin selection, and paddle sizing EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK...SHOWROOM IS OPEN 10-5 DAILY). We usually get most of our clients in and out to the water in ~ 1 hour or less...your significant others can hang in our comfy tiki lounge or take a short walk to the world class antique (1915) horse carousel at Chase Palm Park, hang at East Beach, or get all slappy slappy at "Skater's Point" skateboard park...   We are constantly offering our feedback (and yours) to our shapers and board builders...OUR PASSION IS STANDUP PADDLING... We pay attention to detail and strive for excellence...we only offer top QUALITY proven products...PLEASE, DON'T SETTLE FOR CHEAP KNOCKOFFS! Yikes!!! We've seen, and heard first hand, about our competitor's delaminations, heel dents, leaky and blown out fin boxes, lack of handles, rail disintegration from paddle strikes, snapped in half boards, discoloration, poor design...etc...etc... This sport is called S T A N D U P...not, standup F A L L O F F!!! Can you say "BUZZKILL"...:-( The old addage "YA GET WHATCHA PAY FOR" couldn't ring more true... Regarding board sizing...ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL!... We are standup paddlers and understand the concepts of volume distribution and stability...we'll steer you into the right board for your application... We won't steer you wrong on your first (or any) board purchase...we standup paddle year-round and take it seriously...so when you're ready to part with your hard-earned recreational dollars, you won't get a part-time, lukewarm, sales intern who doesn't standup paddle (P O S E R) talking down to you with "brochure speak" because they don't have a clue what they are selling...on top of that, customer service that makes you feel like an uninvited dinner guest...when you purchase a SUP from us, you won't have to find another place to buy a leash, fin, paddle, locking straps, & bag... the online chat forums are filled with frustrated people trying to find this stuff and also get fin recommendations/settings...because, to the sailboard/kiteboard/kayak shop that sold them the board, it's JUST another board to sell...another day...another dollar... WE ARE A ONE STOP SUP SHOP We take a pragmatic, holistic approach to your board purchase(s)...and pride ourselves on repeat clients... Read our customer testimonials...our clients are S T O K E D, and we know that you will be , too... Here's our Quality Assurance statement... We know these products inside and out...we standup paddle almost daily...(have we said that before?...;-) We are not a fluffy clothing boutique posing as a standup surf shop...or a kayak store just getting into it with stock, but haven't actually done IT... matter of fact, there's lots of "Johnny Come Latelys", and "Poseurs", tryin' to talk the talk, when they don't walk the walk... But, your spider senses told you that...and that's why you're here...& not there, right?...;-) We sell the core hardware to get 'er done right...and done right, the FIRST time!!!   You work hard for your money and this sport is too much fun to not get what you paid for... We don't have just one or two outdated standup paddle boards sitting in the back of a shop collecting dust, we have over 150 leading edge standup paddle boards in stock...and, new models arriving daily...our SUP board pricing ranges from $899...and, we ship standup paddle boards to anywhere in the US of A... We are familiar with STARBOARD...SURFTECH...NAISH...COREBAN...JIMMY LEWIS...BLAIR...IMAGINE...AMUNDSON...FOCUS HAWAII...HOBIE...BARK...NORTH PACIFIC...BOARDWORKS...and, many others...  HOE HE'E NALU The Hawaiian translation means standup paddle surfing. In Hawaiian, "hoe" means paddle... "he'e" means to surf or slide...and "nalu" means wave. You don't have to possess a Hawaiian royalty bloodline or be King Xtreme Laird to participate in the rebirth of this old school surfing sport popularized by the Waikiki "beach boys"...who used outrigger canoe paddles to surf waves standing up...but, it's not just about surfing...paddling and GLIDE is what ties this sport to the ancient Polynesians...and is why world class surfers such as Laird, Kalama, Gerry Lopez, Buzzy Kerbox, Brian Keaulana, Loch Eggers, Sean Ordonez, Slater, Machado, Malloy brothers, Dave Parmenter...etc..etc...and many other watermen, and women, have embraced it... Standup paddle boards can roughly be divided into two classes...those better at paddling with more glide...commonly referred to as "downwind" boards, and those optimized for waveriding...of course, all colors of the rainbow exist on the spectrum in between... To experience the incredible feeling that led to the development of surfing and related surfing sports...the board has to have some natural glide...and to harness that glide, the board has to have some stability...our shapers have developed our line of standup paddle boards to do just that...optimize the perfect blend of glide, stability, and wave worthiness... Standing up while paddling, allows you to see see deeper into the water, where schools of fish are being herded by dolphins, Calico Bass, rays, and starfish cruise around underneath you and the occasional seal swims along side of you.  Kelp bed cruising the Gaviota Coast on a standup paddle board It's a soulful experience, and a perfect way to enjoy and commune with nature. Much more elegant and regal than sitting on top of a generic plastic kayak, paddling with a generic plastic paddle...  New and challenging...but, also has ancient roots and soul.  |
