Desert Paddleboards is a Phoenix-based paddleboard outfitter offering rentals, guided meet-ups, and wellness experiences across Greater Phoenix waterways. The company provides half-day and full-day inflatable board rentals for locations such as Granite Reef, Queen Creek, Canyon Lake, Saguaro Lake, and float trips on the Salt River. Desert Paddleboards hosts regular community meet-ups like the Salt River Paddleboarding Meet-up and seasonal events including the annual Witches Regatta at Tempe Town Lake. Dog owners can join SUP PUPS sessions at Tempe Town Lake Marina featuring a brief training lesson and guided laps.
Beyond traditional paddling, Desert Paddleboards produces guided wellness offerings: Floating Sound Baths at Skyline Pool and Chandler, Floating Yoga sessions at KINO, and a private Floating Soundbath Experience designed for intimate pool settings. The business also partners with local venues for special events such as the Aji Spa Floating Sound Bath at the Sheraton Grand at Wildhorse Pass. Rentals are available with flexible pick-up times and options for all ages, with attendees able to bring their own boards or rent on site. Safety and accessibility are emphasized through clear route choices—river floats, scenic lake coves, and calm marina laps—so participants of varying skill levels can enjoy the water. Participants receive clear safety guidance and route recommendations tailored to skill level, and instructors or hosts provide local knowledge about wildlife, landmarks, and seasonal conditions on Phoenix-area waterways.
