    Best place to buy paddle boards hands down. Mike, the owner, is such an awesome person. Super nice, doesn't haggle you to buy, answers all your questions and simply, is just a really good guy. If you're considering buying a paddle board here, just do it. You'll be happy you did. and Mike, thanks again for the patience while we decided on a color. We're lifelong customers and will be telling all our friends and family about it!

    Great customer service and amazing prices. I'm fairly new to Paddleboarding and had a lot of questions. The staff was super helpful in addressing all the questions I have about an inflatable vs a hard board. I bought 1 VEsL iSUPs in January and feel in love with it at first session. Compared to my previous iSUP, the VESL board is just better designed and feels more rigid. Loved it so much that I went back a few weeks later and bought 2 more boards. The staff here is very knowledgeable and even shared good spots to launch from that is close to the shop. I walked away feeling so great about my experience that I have recommended a few more friends to come out and buy directly from this place. Well worth the drive out from SGV.

    nose tapped lightly against a door and it cracked.

    I recently bought two surf paddle board from here and the service was great and the people at the store was nice and knowledgeable. The board on the other hand was not great. I've had the board for a couple weeks now. It gets scuffed very easily even though I am very careful with how I move it around and when the nose hit the door lightly as I was moving the board, it cracked. I was so frustrated that the board crack from that little impact. It would not be as bad if I was carrying the board and it slammed against a wall and crack but with just a little tap, it was very disappointing. Another thing that I think is worth mentioning is that if your paddle hit the board when you are paddling it will leave a mark which I was told that it can be sanded down with a wet sandpaper but seeing how thin the outside layer of the board is I'm just wondering how many times can you actually sand it down before there isn't anything to sand down. Once again, the people at the store are all very nice and knowledgeable but if you are going spend this much for a board you're probably better off getting a different brand that won't crack at the slightest tab.

    I don't normally write reviews but because of my recent buying experience with Paddle Surf Warehouse I felt I needed to thank them for their amazing customer service. Michael, Jeff, and the crew are extremely knowledgeable due to their years of experience. After doing some research online I decided to make the 35 mile drive from my house to the Costa Mesa store with the plan in mind of buying a 10'6" VESL all -around based on what I thought would suit me the best. The guys at PSW suggested I go with the 11' but I already had my mind made up on the 10'6". Well in the next couple weeks I took the board out twice and realized that the 11'0" would have been the way to go since I was venturing further out beyond the breakwater than I initially thought I would be. I contacted Michael via email and explained to him my situation asking if there was something we could both agree to in swapping boards. He said to come on back and that we could certainly work something out. Well they most certainly did and I went home happy and with a beautiful 11'-0" VESL Bamboo Series Eco Board. Their customer service definitely exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be returning here in the future for any of my SUP needs. Thanks again PSW! Dan

    Great local company that isn't there to give you some lame sales pitch. They are extremely knowledgeable and will answer any question you have. I'm a beginner to SUP so it was great to be able to ask all kinds of questions which I highly recommend doing. It took me almost a month to research different places etc and decide. They want to make sure you're happy and comfortable with your purchase. They also have great deals and pricing compared to other SUP shops. Only thing I wish was that I could've done a demo on the board I wanted so 4.5 stars. If you're shopping around I recommend checking them out. If you plan on stopping by later in the day closer to closing time give them a call first. I did as I had seen previous reviews about closing early etc. Michael and Jeff you were awesome and so helpful, I can't wait to use my new board!

    Customer service was awesome.

The location is perfect, it's right by the bay and they always have kayaks and paddleboards ready for you by the water. Parking isn't ideal (it's Newport Beach, so this is expected) so be prepared to pay and park. I love how smooth and easy booking and reservations are. You book online through their website and it's always simple, straightforward, and easy to do. You can add things like the waterproof phone things (or add when you get there in person). They also send your waivers and such ahead of time so you can sign them ahead of time so that when you get to the location, you literally just get on the kayak/paddleboard and go. The workers here are always really chill, nice, and welcoming. They offer amenities like the waterproof necklaces you can wear to bring your phones along (can confirm - they work). They're not super strict on time, and I like the added hose they have outside their building that you can use to hose down the sand and such if needed. Just be aware that they don't offer much by way of instructions so if you're a first-timer, watch a video or two ahead of time. I do think it's a little intuitive so I wouldn't worry too much. Life vests are also provided!

The business was sort of hidden/hard to find, so we gave them a call and they were able to point us in the right direction. Once we were there, paying and getting on the kayak was super easy! They also have lockers for rent for $5 for your whole trip. This place is also dog-friendly! The dunes itself was very pleasant to kayak around and easy to navigate. We went around 9:30am, so it wasn't super busy nor was it super hot. It felt perfect breezy! Super fun experience, and I would highly recommend them!

Park for free on the street, walk up to the hut in your swimsuit and flip flops and water bottle and you are set to go baby! They will take an ID from you and direct you to the beach shore where an employee will set you up in a one or two person kayak, show you the correct way to paddle, and push you off. Go to the left and under the bridge and you are in the calm waters of Dune Bay. Want more excitement--then go to the right into the marina and battle the currents--that's how you build arm strength! and courage keeping your distance from the boats. We did both and had a great time. When you return--look for the Return Here sign, paddle hard and beach the craft, and an employee will hold the kayak while you get out. Go back to the hut and get your ID back and pay. Most peeps stay out 1-2 hours. After 2 hours your arms are tired unless you just go into Dune Bay and relax and let the current take you wherever. After you pay go to the foot wash off to get the sand off, then walk to the restrooms and full out door fresh water shower. You did it! Tell all your friends that you got away from the Pirates! ---------- Just some notes: 1. Make sure you go to the restroom Before getting in the kayak--there are no restrooms on board (or food service). 2. And wear a swimsuit--I have never been on a kayak where you don't sit in a puddle of water and get splashed a bit. 3. And NEVER stand up in the kayak--it will turn over. 4. Do not kayak during a hurricane even if the Pirates say it's okay.

I was a little sad because I paid $10 per person for a 1 hour paddleboard session, which in my opinions, is the cheapest deal I've seen! The owner, Mike, was so kind to email and text me to let me know what had happened. He was super nice!! He said that he would give me a full refund for the two tickets that I purchased, and also, give me free kayak rentals since there was a bit of a dilemma. I took up on that offer, emailed Mike, and made reservations to do a tandem kayak for an hour on a Sunday at noon. Mike is all about customer service and wants to make customers satisfied so he offered to throw in another hour for free! My sister and I got to the beach, with the help of Mike's perfect directions, and we laid out for about an hour. We got side street parking! (FREE!) Mike came 2 minutes before noon and unloaded our kayaks. He was so nice to give us some ziplock bags to put our phones in so they don't get wet. My sister and I had a blast! Although it was a bit windy so we were going against the wind! We kayaked for about an hour and 15 minutes. Too bad we couldn't do the two hours. It is definitely a great arm workout! Once we were done, I just texted Mike and docked our kayaks on the beach and that was it! I would definitely come here again! Hope you get your kayaks back soon!!

We saw many happy folks paddling in their water craft though, and large groups who, I'm assuming, went out on tours. We saw plenty of teams coming and going who keep their equipment there. Their restrooms are located on the side of the building and are open to the public. The reason we came to NAC is that they offer a perfect launch spot for paddle sports. This area of Newport Back Bay is very calm and leads into the estuary. It's a beautiful place to paddle, with abundant bird life and waterfowl, as well as "flying" fish, and no doubt an abundance of marine life below the surface. Besides being a launch point, many families with young children also appreciate the calm water here. The area between beach and boundary can be swum in and is quite shallow. As a side note, once out on the water beyond this boundary, one cannot swim or exit their paddle craft. There is a parking lot for NAC but there's also a large dirt lot for visitors, for the amazing price of $0! Great access, beautiful wetlands, calm waters...this is a perfect place for all types of paddlers, nature enthusiasts, and families looking for a quieter alternative to the beach.
