I wholeheartedly recommend Trudie and Sup Shack for all your paddle boarding needs. Trudie is very knowledgeable and in hour that we spent together I learned more about hard paddle boards than ever before. She really cares about her customers and their needs, takes time to find the best fit for each person and gives incredible deals for the gear. My husband and I were lucky to get two Brusurf hard paddle boards for an incredible price, and Trudie helped us with everything that we will need in the future for our paddle boards.
I am looking forward to going back and participating in one of the paddles organized by Trudie, she cares about community and is very well known around, I am very happy that I got to meet...
   Read moreTrudie at the SUP Shack was AMAZING! She made sure that all of the equipment was effectively sanitized, and she's even made rentals contact-free. I had only done standup paddleboarding twice before, in calmer waters of Washington. It was a windy day, but Trudie gave me some awesome pointers, and I had a wonderful time! Her equipment, customer service, demeanor, and passion for helping people and watersports really shone through. I will definitely be back, and I highly recommend the SUP shack for SUP/kayak rentals, if you're the least...
   Read moreI have been paddling at the SUP Shack consistently for about 6 months now! I have fallen in love with paddleboarding and I'm so happy that Trudie chose to share her passion with the Santa Cruz community. She's an excellent teacher and great with beginners. It's really been a lifesaver to have a safe, outdoor experience during this pandemic. It's helped not only my physical health, but my mental health as well. I highly recommend the SUP Shack for an awesome time out on the water. Thank you so...
