Everyone should get out and try stand up paddle boarding! Was my first time here in Redondo Beach and glad I went with Olympus for their great deal and excellent customer service! Currently you do need reserve and pay in advance. They are located at the Redondo Marina. The price was very affordable at $27.50 per person for 2 hours. Perfect to explore around the marina-highlights include seeing the seals and the calm area near the breakwall where the water was so clear I saw many schools of fish. I found free street parking on the small streets off Catalina like on Carnelian. It's about a 6-8 min walk. Overall a wonderful experience and highly recommend Olympus! read more

Jeremy and his crew are the best! Clear friendly communication and helpful! We've been using them for our snow gear, but I found out they rent SUP boards and bring them to the RB dock! All set up with paddles, vests and waterproof pouches! He's got the best pricing around too! Thanks Olympus! read more

Olympus has great rates and great boards. No inflatables! Jeremy and Jeff are always on time and ready to help. The first time I went out, they explained everything to me and put me at ease. I've rented from them a few times since and will continue to. read more

Rented paddle boards and not only were they on time but they also were super friendly, offered to take pictures and send them since most of us didn't want to bring phones or cameras out on the water AND they gave us tips and tricks to have a great time paddle boarding! 100/10 recommend read more

We highly recommend Olympus SUP. Our experience was top rate starting with the detailed information provided by Jeremy over the phone. Having just retired and looking forward to an active retirement one of our first goals was to do SUP this summer. We've tried a couple times on our own and were not successful but a lesson was the way to go! Being downhill skiiers and knowing that a lesson should always be your first choice we should have known. We looked on Yelp and the reviews spoke for themselves. Gino was our instructor and was so patient and on top of everything. We got up, stayed up the whole time and thoroughly enjoyed our hour and 1/2 lesson. We have a special needs daughter who loves to do this but would definitely benefit from a lesson and Gino has experience with teaching the Special Needs community so we will be booking her lesson very soon. Thanks again for a fabulous experience on the water! Morrie & Cheryln read more

Did my first class as a complete amature and had a good time. I definitely need more practice and it's no where as easy as it looks. Great staff and it's a private lesson for an affordable price. read more

Came here to get my kids paddleboard's, staff was amazing and so thoughtful. Highly recommend this company and they're wonderful staff.

I took my teenage son and his two friends paddle boarding with Jeremy. We made a memory none of us will forget. And now we are HOOKED. My teenage son actually wants to hang out with me now. We found something we love to do together. I can't thank you enough, Jeremy. What a beautiful day we had at the beach :) XOXO read more

Jeremy was the best and the whole crew is so nice. They made it super easy to get on paddleboards and we could cruise around the marina or easily get out into the ocean. Can't wait to go back. read more

Olympus Standup Paddleboarding - SUP in Redondo Beach - Paddleboarding Near Me - Torrance, California

I took an early morning SUP fitness class with Jeff today and had a blast! Jeff is a wonderful and kind instructor, AND, it was nothing short of spectacular to be out on the early morning water along with the seals and pelicans. Oh - and Michelle (the owner?) is really awesome, too! I highly recommend Olympus Standup Paddleboarding to anyone who wants a GREAT SUP EXPERIENCE!!! read more

I took my first couple paddleboarding classes elsewhere, but never continued because it was too far from home. Little did I know this gem existed right here in the South Bay until a year ago! I've now attended almost 20 SUP yoga and power hour sessions, and it's become one of my favorite forms of exercise. Thanks to Michelle and the other teachers, I overcame my fear of paddling in the open ocean, and my balance has improved drastically. Olympus is awesome - I dare you to find a better deal for classes and rentals in southern California! Their shop is located in Torrance, but their classes and rentals all meet right in King Harbor. Tough, expensive parking is my only gripe, but this goes for any coastal area around here. read more

Olympus Standup Paddleboarding - I'm a big fan of inversions such as headstands, but the firefly has become my new favorite pose on the board! - Paddleboarding Near Me - Torrance, California

This is a great place to buy standup paddleboards. Good selection of rentals to try. Jeremy is very knowledgeable and not just trying to sell you something. I shopped around and they had the best deal on the package I wanted. . I had a problem with my wife's paddle a little under a year after buying it and they replaced it no receipt required and no questions asked. They also have great trips, events and classes. Highly recommended read more

Such a great experience! I started out with SUP classes before transitioning to the SUP yoga. Jeremy was so nice and patient in teaching us the SUP basics. The SUP yoga classes are great. Perfect for beginners and those with more experience. So peaceful on the water. The sea lions add to the fantasticness. Only taken Michelle's classes so far, she is awesome. Heard great things about the other instructors. It's all done within the harbor so the water is calm, no choppiness at all. I was nervous about the waves since I don't have sea legs. So calm, water didn't get to me at all. One side thing that I love is that everyone with Olympus really cares for the environment. They fish litter out of the water and surrounding rocks as they go along. read more

Great company and GREAT rates! I took my youth group, kids 12-27 for 2 hours on the water. We had a great time! Gino, one of the employees, helped to chaperone our younger kids. He was patient and easy going and great with the kids! All in all it was wonderful! Thank you Olympus Paddle boarding for going above and beyond, you guys are great! read more

I bought my first SUP board here and I had the best experience! I can't say enough positive things about this place. Jeremy and his staff are knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. I had a thousand questions and they took the time to help me to purchase the board that was right for me. I didn't feel like I was being pressured into buying anything and I do feel like I got a good deal. I highly recommend this place if you want to purchase a board or if you just want to rent any of their equipment. The people here make you want to come back! read more

Jeremy & Bryan were AWESOME!!! They deliver 5 star service! I initially signed up with another paddle board company for a lesson and didn't feel warm & fuzzy. So, I looked on Yelp and found Olympus. Jeremy was so kind and friendly the moment I called. He was very helpful and informative as this was our first time. My cousin was visiting from Oklahoma and I thought paddle boarding would be a awesome experience. Last minute I called to see if they had any availability. Jeremy was so kind to to accommodate us last minute and get us out on the water. He was apologetic that his regular instructors weren't available but offered one of his new guys in training. We were completely cool with this and just happy to be on the water. Jeremy not only accommodated us last minute but also offered us a discount since Bryan was still in training. What a awesome business!!! Jeremy was out of town in Hawaii and even text me (5am his time) to make sure Bryan called us to confirm our lesson that morning at 9am. Now that is over the top EXCEPTIONAL service!! Jeremy is beyond great. Even when he's thousand of miles away, he's making sure his clients are taken care of. Bryan was a great instructor. He walked us through everything and continually checked if we were comfortable taking the next step. He took tons of pictures of us and sent them that day! He has a great personality and was very easy going. He made sure to point out things that my cousin from Oklahoma would never know (i.e.:the Body Glove boat,Garibaldi fish, etc.) Bryan also spent additional time with us so we could go out on the open ocean. How great is that??? Bryan was knowledgable of the wildlife and we both learned a lot and had TONS of fun. I can also thank him for loaning me his sunscreen as I couldn't believe I forgot mine at home. I'll definitely be back and would definitely recommend Olympus....no doubt! You will have a great experience with them. They are helpful and never make you feel clueless. Their instruction was detailed (even down to what to wear). This is now my new favorite place. Can't wait to take my husband out with Olympus!!! Give them a call! You won't regret it!!! read more

Great service! We rented three paddle boards. We were all first timers. They gave us a detailed brief tutorial before they let us hit the water. We were out for two hours. We returned and turned in our boards with no problems. Great group of people run this business. Definitely recommending this place to people. read more

Michelle was so nice over the phone and text when I tried to book last minute for paddle boarding. We went over a little and they didn't give us any issues. Michelle tried to get us an instructor too and called around, but it was a bit pricey for us. Overall they were great. Definitely going to book the yoga paddle boarding ahead of time next adventure I can back in La! read more

Great service! Great staff! Great prices! Great selection of paddleboards and snowboards! Take a few minutes and go chat with the owner Jeremy, he and his team will put you on the water with all of the right equipment. If you're new to the sport, take a lesson and if you want a challenge, take a yoga class on a board! You won't regret it. read more

These guys are my go to for my paddle boarding needs. they always find a way to help me get rentals when I have friends wanting to go out with me. Staff is very knowledge yet laid back. Looking forward to purchasing my race board from them soon! read more

Been here for years and started renting a board , I met Jermy a few times he is always with some Paddle Boarders so I got the scoop on his boards , and for $30.00 bucks you can go for half a day basically and have a awesome time , not a lot of drama...He has boards for sale as well and from what I can see cheapest in South Bay he said he had one for me that is $799.00 out the door and it comes with a paddle I am so damn stoked I have stared saving my 15.00 a hour to buy my own ...Go down there he is AWESOME ! read more

Jeremy was very accommodating and easy to work with. He set everything up for us and made some great recommendations. We really enjoyed ourselves in and around the harbor. In our two hours we saw sea lions, dolphins, stingrays, a sand shark, and an array of fish and birds. We highly recommend Olympus! read more

Best place in town...I tryed few places and Olympus was the best. They guided me to choose the beast board, one of their best instructors (Gino) showed me the best way to start paddle boarding and they still have time to be your friend...Don't waste your time go to Olympus and ask for Jeremy, tell him that Miguel sent you! read more

Me and a buddy wanted to go standup paddling and I emailed Jeremy @ 9pm friday night for a 8:30am paddle, he responded and educated me on everything I needed. Then we showed up, were well taken care of by Jeremy and his team. We had a great paddle session and even saw a humpback whale. Once we arrived back they helped us out of the water and allowed us to hangout in the water, swim and sit around like locals for an hour sipping cold beverages in the harbor....floating beverage garden......There are not many people like jeremy and his crew out there who genuinely want to provide you with a great experience like they did. Great experience all around....... read more

I've been lazy lately writing reviews but these guys deserve the extra few minutes of my time needed to write a good review. I called and talked to Jeremy who was super helpful and friendly. Without advanced notice I called and gave him a time and number of peeps in the group, he set us up with Jino (I think that was his name) who was running the show at the docks down by the Portofino. He was really friendly too. Since I'm super frugal I parked on Catalina and walked to the end of Portofino where they're located. Jino gave us the rundown of paddleboard basics and we were off in no time...they don't have lockers for your valuables but they will let you keep it in their shed...if you're super paranoid about your stuff I'd suggest you get a waterproof bag to keep with you on the paddleboard. They have beer, soda, and snacks there. The dock gets super hot on hot days so bring sandals! $25 for 2 hours, I think that's a great deal and I'll probably be back here again. read more

Just finished our first SUP and loved it. Jeremy and Jeff helped make this experience one to remember. Very helpful, encouraging and definitely recommend! read more

Love Olympus! My 8 year old daughter and I took a lesson with Gino. He was knowledgeable, patient, and calmed my nerves when we decided to go from the harbor to the open ocean. The location is so convenient as you just drive through the Portofino Hotel parking lot. What I love most is the customer service that Jeremy provides via text message, email or phone call as needed. Thanks to Olympus, my daughter and I had the very best first impression of SUP and we right away booked a rental time for the following week. Thank you, Jeremey and Gino! read more

Jeremy, Michelle, and the knowledgable staff at Olympus have never let me down after a decade of snowboard, skateboard, and standup paddle services. I've rented and purchased various gear over the years, always the best quality tested by them personally. Repairs have been timely and well done. Most of all the atmosphere is friendly and warm and everybody is extremely helpful. The trips offered are well organized, but I'm most impressed with their mission to be environmentally sensitive and mindful of marine wildlife and to develop a strong standup paddle community. read more

I was staying at the Portofino Hotel and came across this terrific establishment. Their service was prompt, professional and friendly! Their texting feature allows for a personalized touch. You will love it. read more

Was able to launch seven people new to the sport and quite a bit older than the average paddler. In the end, all were standing, laughing, and acting like experienced SUPers. read more

We rented paddleboards while on vacation in June; price was great, service quick and easy, owners friendly and helpful! The location was great for beginners, and they were helpful with instruction. There was plenty of sea life to see, especially sea lions. We had such a good time! read more

Great place to rent a SUP board! Right on the water in King Harbor. One time, I parked at the regular pay lot by Ruby's for $4... not too bad! Another time, I parked at the Portofino Hotel lot right there, and got FREE validation after eating a great lunch at Portofino's restaurant Baleen... even better!! Fun, easy and stable boards, and the best prices that I could find in the harbor. And the workers are so nice, they put the board in the water for you, make sure you'll be safe, and even give first timers some paddle tips. The harbor is so calm and glassy, perfect for beginners. If you're a little brave, going outside the harbor is fun. We saw dolphins and sea lions, some of the regular paddlers sometimes see whales! I have also taken a few of their SUP Yoga classes. I'm not an accomplished yogi, but this is a great way to relax, stretch, and just enjoy the beautiful surroundings. I think I'm hooked on a morning paddle then lunch at Baleen or Polly's! What a fun day! read more
