Canyon to Coast

A few years ago, I went with a couple of friends to the Newport/Balboa Peninsula to rent stand up paddleboards to take out in Newport Harbor.

Newport Beach has a number of businesses for renting paddleboards, like:

• Pirate Coast Paddle Company 
• Paddle Board Newport Beach 
• Island Paddleboard 
• Balboa Water Sports 
• Balboa Fun Tours & Rentals 
• Lido Paddle Sports 

That first paddleboarding journey was such a great experience, we went back again the following weekend. Stand up paddleboarding is such a fun marine activity and water sport. It gets you outside and exercising, all while enjoying Newport Beach from the cool water of the harbor.

For the more experienced paddle boarder, the ocean offers a much more challenging workout, paddling through the waves and currents.

For a few months, I visited Paddle Board Newport Beach to rent a board. After realizing how much I enjoyed the sport, I visited Paddle Surf Warehouse in Costa Mesa and purchased my own board.
