SUP Rentals at B'More SUP!

This season we will be offering SUP rentals 7 days a week!

SUP Rentals are for experienced paddlers only. If you show up to rent and do not have proper board control or know how to paddle safely we may deny your right to paddle. This is for your safety. We recommend all renters come to our Saturday SUP lesson (or schedule a private lesson) before going out on their own.

2024 Board Rentals:

We use top of the line Evolve & Yolo boards. Every renter is required to wear a leash and have a PFD on the board with them. Rentals are for proficient paddlers only. No first time paddlers will be allowed to rent, so please consider coming to one of our SUP lessons before booking a rental.

Please note we have paddle boundaries where you are able to take our boards. You will be shown a map before renting- if you disobey our rental boundaries you will be prohibited from renting from us in the future.
