About SUP N Safari

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

Stand up paddleboard rental in Canyon Lake.Three certified instructors are ready to help get you safely on the water. We are the only certified and insured rental company in the inland empire. Kayak and ifloat rentals are also available. We also have guided sunrise, sunset, and night paddle tours!

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

Iron Gideon, our son, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on November 2015, continuing treatment until February 2019. We purchased the business in may 2016, to help ourselves with the continuing medical bills (#theadventuresofirongideon). We are a family run business and happy to serve.

What do you love most about your job?

The best days are getting people on the water that have never experienced it and watching them stand on a board for the first time. The sunset paddle tours are also my favorite, a very serene experience. Its very gratifying to provide unforgettable memories for others that will last a lifetime.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?

When someone doubts themselves physically, and end up shocking themselves with how well they do on a board for the first time. The next best reaction is when they immediately purchase their own stand up paddleboard (from us) after one rental.
