Great service by Pacific River Supply, finding and fixing a few leaks in my inflatable kayak. They were super-easy to work with, and did the fixing quickly and right. Nice people too! Warmly recommended... read more

I have one of their 6 inch air pumps in which the bottom section had cracked and the hose had developed the crack also. I spoke with Mike who apparently takes care of their warranty issues and because the unit was less than 10 years old he agreed to replace it if I paid the shipping. I was hesitant initially as he quoted me $47 to ship, but considered this acceptable as I would be getting a replacement unit. To my surprise, they sent me a used air pump as a replacement and when I contacted them, he told me that they had depreciated the unit for the 4 years that I had owned it, regardless of how much I had used it. He then told me that the unit I had been sent was being used in their rental department without any issues for years so I should be happy with it So they considered sending me a retired rental unit as a replacement and charged me the outrageous shipping cost. If I had wanted a used unit, I could've probably easily found one on Facebook marketplace and been able to examine it before purchase. Because I wasn't pleased he told me I could return the unit, but I would have to pay for the return shipping and then he hung up. read more

Everything! As usual! I've been using PRS to rent quality whitewater rafts and inflatables, and to purchase related whitewater equipment for over 30 years. They know whitewater equipment! Everything is very high quality. They carry ALL the essentials. AND they execute top-quality repairs to most types of rafts, a rare service! On my most recent visit, I had them repair punctures and leaking valves on my boat. Perfect! And at a very fair price. read more

Long overdue appreciation for these guys. They've done maintenance on my Avon for years - always top-notch work at a fair price. Also good selection of gear fairly priced. New location in Rodeo has smaller retail space so they're phasing out clothing, but pretty much anything else whitewater rafting you need, they have, including rental boats and gear. Show 'em some love and buy here instead of online if you can. With Clavey in Petaluma having shifted more to kayaking and SUP, PRS is about it in the Bay Area for knowledgeable , great whitewater rafting help and gear. read more

From my experience working with Pacific River Supply, I cannot say enough great things about Mike and his team! The patch work they did was top-notched and I know my float was in good hands when I leave it with them. It was worth every penny! Mike was super accommodating with scheduling and was responsive throughout the process with calls and text messages. I would recommend Mike to anyone. read more

Needed to get my wife's dry suit gasket repaired. We are a 2 hour drive from the shop. They set it up so we could get it fixed while we waited. They were ready at 10am and had us out the door in a couple hours with a fixed dry suit. Had to buy a custom made purple wet suit bag for my wife too. Always blows my mind when I find someone who wants to provide above and beyond service. read more

Picked up a extra large dog PFD recently. Friendly service. Make sure you call ahead before heading down there to ensure there is someone there. Nice they are located in my neck of the woods. read more

A great, locally owned place to buy high quality boating equipment. It's in the back of the parking lot - a two-story, shambling wood building (look for the kayak). Come up the stairs in back (mind the little blue gate - it keeps the dogs in). Mike not only rents wetsuits, dry suits and boats, he also sells straps, pumps, dry bags, paddles and much else that you'll find yourself wanting on the river. He's been in this business a long time, so you'll get seasoned advice with your purchases and rentals. He makes the pumps and sews the gear on site. Great prices and service. I'd advise you to call before heading over, since the retail front is a one-man operation. Also has a really good website (unusual in this business): https://pacificriversupply.com/ FYI, it's a good idea to book your rentals at least a few weeks ahead of time - depending on your size and needs, he may only have one or two suits of that type. Also if they're going to do any work on the gear (ex. the suit I'll be renting is new so they're going to stretch the neck gasket out for me), it gives him more lead time. read more

We got everything we needed for our abalone dive.... Thanks, my feet were the only ones dry.....everyone else that bought theirs elsewhere were soaking wet... Great customer service and thanks for staying open late for my friend.... read more

I'm not a fan of leaving less than stellar reviews. I can only speak for myself, but I've rented dry suits on two occasions from here, and have been disappointed both times. Both suits were leaky - the first I had to patch myself (I was in the water for a week straight), and the second made for a miserable day. I did try to address my issues with Mike, but he seemed to take the problems I experienced personally, and was dismissive, blaming me. Just frustrated with the way I was treated when I took my problem to them, I guess. I've rented dry suits for a day or three from other companies in the Sacramento area, and have never had an issue. Maybe just bad luck. They do offer shipping if you are not local, and have a decent variety of items on hand. read more

Pacific River Supply - Front door, upstairs. - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Rodeo, California

Rented two inflatable kayaks and a drysuit for a weekend whitewater trip. Staff was super helpful and patient, even stayed past closing time to help me out. Gear was in excellent condition. Prices were super reasonable, and they were flexible on pickup/dropoff times...can't ask for much more. Just call them before heading in to make sure they're there. read more

This is your classic small business, managed by a terrific owner who will frequently bend over backwards to accommodate people. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and is willing to share that knowledge with his customers. I am blown away by the two really low scores.. Please check your gear before taking it on river, especially if its the second time and if your boat is leaking, well there is a good chance other things may be wrong with it.. Just saying :) If you need any type of rafting, boating, floating, kayaking, wet suite, dry suite, paddles, raft rentals, kayak rentals, boat rentals, Mike is the person to see read more

Rented some life jackets from PRS last year for a camping trip and as most of the reviews here state Mike was great, very helpful and let me pick up the jackets a day early but didn't charge me. Just called him now as we are going up again and as usual the same great service. It's strange to get such great service I wasn't sure I understood at first, we aren't leaving until Wednesday and Mike said go ahead and come in Saturday if it's easier and won't start charging you until Wednesday. Mike, Thanks again! read more

The best river supply from at least here to Salida. They have excelent craftsmanship and the best customer experience ever. Thank you for the top knotch gear read more

The Pacific River Supply is the highest-quality business that I can remember dealing with. Mike's operation is smooth, affordable, and extremely customer-friendly. They are willing to open at random hours, and generally do what it suits you best. It feels like what they say about the good olde times of small community business, where people treat each other like humans, not robot wallet units. I hope these guys keep going strong for my own sake, and I hope they prosper for being good people. read more

These guys are the best. I shopped around to purchase a raft back in '05 and Mike set me up with a sweet deal. I have far exceed the $7/min. the average customer spends at PRS. Of course losing equipment on the river has contributed to my spending rate. |If I need rental gear I call them the night before for a heads-up and pick it up early in the morning on the way up to the river. They have also referred me to their competitors when they didn't have what I wanted in stock. The other guys didn't do that. My only complaint is that they don't deal in hard shell kayaks. If they did it would be one stop shopping. Who would ever want to go anywhere else? read more

This is the best place to pick up a boat to go to the Sierras. I have been bringing people here for years when my friends want me to take them to the river, but arent ready for kayaks. We pick up rafts or inflatable kayaks for them in the morning or late the nite before, and drop them off when we get back. The gear is first rate, not the junk that a lot of places closer to the rivers have, and the prices are about the same. Rates for subsequent days drop so its cheaper to rent for multiple days. Mike takes calls at any time of the day or nite and will meet you at the shop to get your gear when you are driving back, even if it is at midnight, so you dont have to make a special trip on monday to bring it back. He is also extremely knowledgeable about the rivers all over the west. I think he has probably run most of them personally, and run them multiple times. read more

Rented 33 lifejackets from Mike for my groups float. Mike worked with me and around my schedule and even gave us a couple extra jackets when our trip was in flux. Great organization, easy to work with. read more

Mike helped me out of a bind! He patched my dry suit right up for swift water rescue this weekend! Took about two minutes for the patch! Thanks Mike for the help! Will definitely be a returning customer! read more

Great service, fair prices and Pacific River has anything you might need for your next trip.

How this place is not getting 5 stars is beyond me. In fact, it enrages me. I've returned used oars because I chose the wrong length and received full credit to buy new ones. Even though the first choice was on me. My fault. I've seen my friends receive ridiculous discounts on used raft trade in's, including my own IK. I've returned helmets that did not fit and had that credited to me. When I've needed repair jobs, they're done professionally and quickly. This is the best place in the Bay Area to do whitewater business. Anywhere, from fitting a dry suit to buying a raft. Outfit yourself right here. PRS kicks ass. read more

Reliable, knowledgable, flexible. Mike was great to deal with renting an inflatable (SOAR) for an Eel River trip. Highly recommend these guys. read more

Women's sizing was interesting. Large was just a tad too small, and Women's XL was too short. Ended up with a Men's XL, which was a pretty good fit. They even gave me a free Go-Girl which definitely helped handle the pit stops on the river. Shipping/arrival and returning was a piece of cake. read more

great staff, helpful, extremely knowledgable, and super friendly. i come here for all my rafting supplies.
