Paddleboarding was on my bucket list. I took a class ($75) and my husband just rented a board. We loved it. My instructor, Scott, was fabulous, and I was the only attendee so basically had a private lesson. After 30 minutes of ground (learning about terminology, eqpt, and strokes), we were in the water. In one hour, we got around the whole lake with lots of tips and guidance on improving strokes, form and technique. I loved it. Heading back next week with my 2 daughters. I'm hooked and this business is great. They also are taking COVID seriously by cleansing all eqpt between users.

Easy to book, very helpful & organized. We booked a 2 hour paddle with paddleboard & kayaks & it was just the right amount of time. Not crowded on the Thursday morning we went. Gorgeous setting to enjoy the water!

We went out to paddle board but switched it to a double kayak when we arrived. She was super helpful making the switch and didn’t have any issues with it. The day we went ended up being quite cold, so we only stayed 30 minutes out of our two hours. As we left we noticed a refund for half of our day was sent back to our bank account. I was expecting any sort of refund but they gave it to us without asking! Thank you so much!

This was at the Bear Creek location on 7/18 w a reservation at 4:00p.
I wouldn't give a single star unless having to in order to write a review. I'm telling you, do not waste $25-$40 here unless you enjoy being condescended by the staff and smelling like sewer water from being in Soda Lake.
Checking in wasn't the worst, but it was after we were checked in and told we were all set to go by the gentleman working the check-in window that everything became an more than awful experience.
The guy at the check-in window gave us directions on where to grab our PFDs and paddles from, which we followed to the T. However, as we are following these directions, a very rude, miserable woman began screaming at us, "Do you guys not know how to follow directions? You're not supposed to grab from over there, you're supposed to get a PFD then come under the blue tent, grab a paddle, then stand on a pink dot!!!" We were literally told the opposite, and became extremely uncomfortable at the way we were approached by this woman.
We begin to follow these new directions given to us by the rude woman, by grabbing from the paddles under the infamous blue tent and placed ourselves on the pink dots. The woman only gets worse from here. She begins the quick SUP tutorial and is extremely condescending throughout. As some people are following along but aren't quite up to par, she calls them out to embarrass them, rather than give a kind redirection of what to do. As I was following her demonstration on locking the lever back in after adjusting the paddle handle to my height, I was struggling to lock it in place and exclaims to me, "You have to push it down to lock it in place, didn't you hear me?" I heard her, but I was trying to be gentle with the stupid thing because she had just yelled at my boyfriend for not being so gentle. She was a straight up b*tch, to be entirely honest. She ruined the whole experience for not only my group, but others that were within our reservation as well.
Maybe it was just a bad day for her and I'm sure she deals with people who really don't follow directions on a day to day basis, but hey you literally work somewhere where people who have never tried SUP before visit. It's literally your job to show people what to do and that means people aren't always going to follow directions properly or understand what they are. Also, maybe it was just this particular lady who is miserable going to work, but the fact they even employ her despite this behavior is justification for a one star for the company as a whole.
If you absolutely are going to choose this place, don't go at 4:30p on Saturdays, because you may run into the same condescending woman.

This is for the Cherry Creek location. We decided to go on a little outing for some fun outdoors before the snow hit! We made this little outing for Labor Day so, I made reservations ahead of time and books two paddle boards and two waterproof bags for two hours. The stand was a little difficult to find so I am glad we got there early. When we got there the staff was slightly short but I didn't think anything of it. One woman who worked at the stand came in off the water and then began helping customers without her mask and even stayed "oh sorry I don't have my mask" (apathetically) and did and did continued to not wear her mask.
When we went to get our boards, they had no idea I had rented the waterproof bags. The woman was condescending as she explained things. Then when we returned at the end of our time, it got worse! She was yelling at us to kneel and then was extremely rude to us! I can't believed we paid $100 for two hours just to be treated like this. The other woman still wasn't wearing her mask and was high-fiving a customer.
It was also hard not to notice that the white men customers seemed to get much friendly customer service...
Next time I would rather go buy paddle boards than be treated like this.

Rented kayaks from this group at the reservoir in Longmont. I had emailed them before our trip for advice on which area to pick. They responded quickly and gave a fair assessment of Longmont versus Boulder. We went with Longmont because we also wanted to go to Left Hand Brewing.
Boats were great and we had a fun paddle. Would definitely recommend.
A paddleboard lesson went out before us and they looked like they were having fun.

We have rented paddle boards and kayaks at the Boulder Resevoir. It always goes really well. Quicker to get in and out if you rent on line before you get there. It seems to be a lot cheaper than other places around the area too!

I was the only one doing yoga and Mary Susan, the yoga teacher was wonderful! She was very supportive and patient. We had a great discussion about yoga and SUP. Now I'm hooked on SUP yoga!!

RMP makes renting a paddleboard so easy. All you do is sign in, listen to 5 mins of instructions and follow the attendant down to the beach. No carrying of boards! Paddles and life jackets provided. They’ll hold on to your car keys, or you can rent a dry bag/waterproof container. It’s a great way to cool off on a hot day, with beautiful views!
