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.
