The Lake Tahoe Water Trail Paddle Community is a great place to start learning about events and connect with others passionate about stand up paddle boarding in Tahoe. They offer a complete listing of paddle board events on their website.
Paddle boards weigh from 15 to 40 pounds, depending on the style and the weight of the rider. Most are 8-14 feet long. There are several roof rack systems available for easy transportation.
To date, there are eleven locations that offer paddle board rentals and sales. Of these, four offer lessons as well: Adrift Tahoe, Tahoe Adventure Company, Waterman’s Landing and Tahoe Eco Sports. Find the complete rental list here. Several businesses also sell paddle boards.
