New York, New York, it\u2019s quite a town.<\/p>\n
Bright lights, busy streets, Broadway, restaurants, Times Square, the list of places to visit and see are innumerable.<\/p>\n
But we would like to add one more thing to that list: SUP.<\/p>\n
Yes, SUP!<\/p>\n
Both New York, New York, and the coast of New Jersey have some of the best spots to explore the waters of the East Coast.<\/p>\n
Providing these opportunities are plenty of outfitters and shops along the coast to fit your every need. From lessons to tours to rentals, they have you covered.<\/p>\n
And with the shops listed here, you can rest assured you will be getting some of the highest quality service in the SUP industry for rentals.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s begin!<\/p>\n
Our first shop is a place called Manhattan Kayak and SUP located in the heart of it all- New York, New York.<\/p>\n
In the city so nice they named it twice, you can find excellent customer service for lessons, SUP rentals, and tours around some of the biggest landmarks in the city, and rentals.<\/p>\n
Guided trips from Manhattan Kayak and SUP can take you around even the Statue of Liberty.<\/p>\n
But if you are one of those people that like to take to the seas solo, bursting with confidence, then a rental may be for you.<\/p>\n
Prices start at $10 for 45 minutes, which, believe us, is a great deal!<\/p>\n
And another cool option- if you have a well-mannered dog who loves the water as much as you do, feel free to bring them along and have them ride with you on the board.<\/p>\n
Definitely check out Manhattan Kayak and SUP for your SUP rental needs in the big city. Trust us, the view from the water is incredible.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our next stop is a place called Surf Skate Fitness also located in the Big Apple, New York, NY.<\/p>\n
SSK is one of those shops that does a ton of things, and they do them well.<\/p>\n
Instead of just a SUP outfitter and shop, they also offer customers a chance to get on a few skateboards, purchase, and ride. They also offer fitness classes and distance paddles which will challenge you to get into the best shape of your life.<\/p>\n
But as far as rentals go, you know you will be in good hands as they offer two options for customers- a full day rental ranging from 8 AM to 8 PM for $50 and a full day during those same time frames but with a board delivery option and pick up service in Jamiaca Bay for $100 for the day.<\/p>\n
Did you get that?<\/p>\n
You have an option for board delivery and pickup in Jamaica Bay. Now that is service.<\/p>\n
Surf Skate Fitness in New York should be your go-to spot for all things board sports and beyond.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Next up is a Perfect Paddles staple- Kostal Paddle in Manorhaven, New York.<\/p>\n
Offering two locations, one in Florida and the other in New York, Kostal Paddle doesn\u2019t limit their business to just SUP owners. They offer surf lessons and rentals as well.<\/p>\n
And before you ask, yes there is surf in the New York area. In fact, it\u2019s a hidden gem when it comes to surfing, especially in the wintertime if you don\u2019t mind being a little cold for the duration.<\/p>\n
For lessons, they offering group rates of $55 for a comprehensive tutorial on every facet of the paddle stroke, to stance, safety and everything in between.<\/p>\n
Regarding rentals, prices start at $30 for 1 hour, $40 for 2 hours, $55 for 4 hours and $100 for a full day or 8 hours.<\/p>\n
They also have options for multiple day rentals but it might be best to consult their website for these options.<\/p>\n
Their protected area where they paddle is great for beginners or adventure junkies looking to flip the script and have a nice relaxing time on the water.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t be fooled by the name of our next stop in New Jersey. Sandy Hook Kayaks also has a full line of boards they rent to customers in the beautiful bay area of Middletown.<\/p>\n
Prices for their rentals start at $25 per board for the first hour, and $84 for a 24 hour rental.<\/p>\n
All boards are of the BIC SUP variety which means you will get the feel of what a major board company quality is like.<\/p>\n
BIC, yes that same company which produces pens, submerged their business into the SUP industry a few years back deciding to create low-end boards for cheap prices, which allowed a ton of people to make their jump into SUP relatively easy.<\/p>\n
But recently, BIC has stepped up their game, now producing a full range of boards, from epoxy to carbon fiber.<\/p>\n
By renting one of Sandy Hook Kayaks boards, you will get a great idea on the type of board you would like to buy as well as the price range you will fit into.<\/p>\n
