Huntington Harbor is Southern California's best-kept paddleboarding secret. With over 9 miles of interconnected canals, five islands, and no ocean swells to contend with, it's the perfect place to learn or enjoy SUP.
As you paddle, you'll glide past multi-million dollar waterfront homes, luxury yachts, and abundant wildlife including herons, egrets, sea lions, and even dolphins near the harbor entrance. The calm, protected waters create mirror-like conditions that make balancing effortless—even for first-timers.
Unlike crowded beach launches, you'll have plenty of space to find your rhythm and explore at your own pace. It's like having a private water park, but with stunning harbor views instead of slides.
Not at all! Our calm, flat harbor water is perfect for beginners. Most first-timers are standing and paddling confidently within 5 minutes. We provide a quick orientation covering balance, paddling technique, and safety.
That's part of the fun! The water is clean and calm, and you'll be wearing a life vest. Just climb back on your board and keep paddling. Most people don't fall once they get their balance.
We recommend ages 8 and up for solo paddling. Younger children can ride with a parent on a larger board—just call ahead to arrange. All paddlers receive appropriately sized life vests.
Wear a swimsuit or quick-dry athletic clothing. You may get splashed or choose to take a swim! Avoid jeans or cotton that gets heavy when wet. Water shoes are optional—many paddle barefoot.
Yes! We offer SUP yoga classes led by certified instructors. It's a unique experience that combines the calm of yoga with the serenity of being on the water. Check our booking page for scheduled classes or call to arrange private sessions.
Our popular glow paddle events happen during warmer months! Paddle at dusk with LED lights and glow accessories for a magical evening experience. Follow our social media or call for upcoming dates.
We understand plans change. You can cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your reservation for a full refund. Same-day cancellations are subject to a 50% fee. Weather cancellations receive full refunds.
Absolutely! We recommend a waterproof case or floating strap for your phone. Many guests love capturing photos of the harbor views, wildlife, and homes. Just be careful not to drop it in the water!

"I've done SUP yoga here twice now and it's incredible. The calm water makes it actually doable (tried at the beach once and fell constantly). The instructor was patient and the views are unbeatable."
"Took my 10-year-old here and she absolutely loved it. The protected harbor means no scary waves, and she was paddling on her own within 10 minutes. The staff was patient and encouraging."
"Best workout with a view! Paddled for 2 hours and explored the whole harbor. Saw sea lions, amazing homes, and got the best arm workout. Will definitely be back with friends."
