Our group of six, spanning ages from 19 to 71, had little to no experience on stand-up paddle boards (SUPs) or whitewater kayaks when we arrived at the Animas River. The expert instruction that Drew and Anna provided to us before putting in, and while afloat, gave all of us the skills and confidence to enjoy our time on a river like we never had before. These people really know their stuff, and are totally laid back and friendly. Equipment provided was excellent and perfectly accommodated our various sizes and needs. If you're looking for some quality outdoor recreation in Durango, you should definitely consider Surf the San Juans to bring it! Even if you're just looking to rent equipment, they will deliver it to you and pick it up when you're finished. It really couldn't be easier. You will learn a lot, and acquire water skills to take home. I can't wait to do this again. An outstanding service! Highly recommended! Check out their website, too - it's a tremendous resource. read more
