The Paddle Sports Center is Santa Barbara’s premier Kayak | SUP | Surf rental, membership, instruction center.  we have been around since 1993 offering the highest quality experience, gear and instruction.  We are conveniently located in the Santa Barbara Harbor, in the main harbor village between Brophy Brothers restaurant and the Santa Barbara Fish Market.  

One would launch right out of the harbor or from Leadbetter beach to explore our diverse and beautiful coastline.  Kayaks for one and two people are the perfect 2-hour physical activity to get your blood moving and tan started. Or try standing on water with our Stand-up Paddle Boards (SUP). If you are an experienced paddler, you’ll find our selection to be the broadest in SB.

Enjoy a few hours on the water looking back at the American Riviera, or join our membership for a month and paddle everyday. Our rates are the best, and you only pay for the time you use on the water. Lockers, changing rooms, shower, and a beach shop for all your Santa Barbara beach needs.
