Jamie was all around amazing!!! My friend and I were visiting for the weekend and called Jamie late in the day to take two kayaks out. She was welcoming, friendly and helped us with every step we needed to load up the kayaks.As the sun went down, one of us accidentally got lost. Jamie was incredibly generous with her time and energy. Even after the shop had closed, she waited with me and helped signal my friend to shore safely. To top it off, all of this was the night right before she was leaving for a big trip. I 100% recommend SUP California!!☺️

Jamie was amazing, she had everything ready to go for us when we got there- the kayaks and equipment. Very friendly and welcoming. My friend and I went out on the lake and I got lost coming back. It was after sunset and I needed to paddle back in the dark. She drove her pickup down to the loading dock with my friend and waited there with her for an hour until I got back. She brought bright lights for me to see as a marking point. When I got back, she was so kind and did not make a deal of it at all. She put the kayak and equipment into her pickup so we did not need to take it back to the shop. Thank you so much for your generosity and service. I will always remember your kindness and help. Jamie, thank you for being my saving grace!!! XOXOXO (:

To own a nice paddle board and equipment is kind of expensive so I rented some here for me and me wife to try. I paid to rent 2 boards, life jackets, and paddles for $163. The rental was for 24 hours starting when you pick up the boards. Me and my wife had a blast paddle boarding! We are now looking into saving up and buying some boards and equipments through SUP California.

SUP California rented us a paddleboard for the day for a reasonable fee and even helped mount it on our car roof. They were quick and available on short notice.

SAM gets 5 stars!!!!!! She makes SUP Cal such a great store to visit, look at boards, and glean knowledge from her!! She is kind, patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. Zero pressure during the many times I have interacted with her.I work in health care and have experience hiring (or declining applications after having interviewed) health care providers. I know how clients should be treated- respectfully, zero pressure, let them make their own decision after providing them with information that they can process and the pros/cons to everything with zero desire to sway their decision about anything. If an interviewed clinician was curt, arrogant, rude, dismissive, or poorly organized, or ever make a client feel "stupid" for asking any question, I would reject their application. If Sam had applied to that company when I was the supervisor, I'd have hired her in an instant. She is professional, respectful, informative, and there is zero pressure from her to make any decisions.She has patiently dealt with me for 2-3 months of asking questions, trying out some rentals, while I figured out which kind of board I wanted.I started SUP'ing in July of 2023 and I would either rent or borrow boards from family and friends. I paddled 2-4 times every week from July to Sept before I was able to conclude what type of board I wanted. I whittled it down to three boards. In the end, she was able to predict which board I'd probably like. She was right! I knew during all of my researching and online "shopping", that I wanted to buy from Sam because she was so generous with her time with me... I really wanted to support her and SUP Cal. BTW, I wasn't surprised that Sam was spot on helping me choose my board, she was right about a lot of predictions.If Sam is a reflection of how the owner wants her shop to be run, my assumption is that the owner must be pretty incredible, too. I only got to meet the shop owner once and during that one time, I noticed that she was kind and friendly... as she immediately offered to help me get a board off of my car (I didn't know she was the owner at the time).Fabulous shop because of the way it is run and because of Sam!! Highly recommend.

Took a paddle boarding class through SUP California and had a great time. The instructor was kind, encouraging, and really knowledgeable. I walked away feeling more confident in my abilities. I'm glad I went with them.

I highly recommend California SUP! The prices are excellent. The board I rented was perfect for a first-timer. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I’ll definitely be back.

Found this location on Google after finding out that Willow Creek no longer has the rental Kayaks/Paddle Boards. Very friendly and helpful literally down the street which was convenient.

100% recommend SUP California! We recently rented a SUP to take with us on our multi-day camping trip. From booking the rental to dropping off the equipment, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They took the time to learn as much as possible about our trip so that the appropriate SUP was given to us. At pick up, Jamie took the time to educate us about the equipment and ensured that we had everything we needed before heading off to our campsite. I will definitely coming back again!

Great service! We did a multi-day rental for a camping trip, they had everything ready to go when we picked it up. The board worked great!

Very friendly staff! Walked me though mounting my board on my car, and informed me of the best lake entrances nearby. I initially booked for two hours but ended up having so much fun I spent three hours, and was able to pay the difference after I returned my equipment. Heavily recommend.

Support your local SUP shop! Jaime is an expert and has a talent for matching you with the perfect paddle board. We're new to SUPping and had only rented boards until this summer. We did our research and visited Jaime's shop where we were greeted warmly. The store is deceptively on the small side from the street but it is laid out efficiently with a variety of quality hard boards, iSUPs, and even kayaks out back. All the supplies you'd ever need is in her store AND she only carries quality products - from carbon fiber paddles, PFDs, leashes, wet bags, waterproof phone cases that float, etc. Quite impressive.She taught us how to attach the fins, how to properly carry our new SUPs, then she even helped us load our newly purchased boards on the back of our pickup truck, teaching us how to securely fasten it, etc. IMHO, she went over and beyond, and we appreciate all her expertise, her professionalism and warmth.Last but not least, Jaime and her team are also quite active and engaged in Folsom, leading a friendly and chill community paddle Wednesdays after work. So fun!
