Lessons and Rentals for Paddleboarding in Big Bear
Big Bear Lake has no shortage of marinas or ideal spots for paddleboarding. The lake’s marinas include Pleasure Point Marina, Big Bear Marina, Holloway’s Marina, and Captain John’s Marina, all of which have packages and specials for Big Bear paddleboarding lessons for all ability levels, paddleboard rentals in case you don’t have or can’t bring your own paddleboard, and paddleboard charters that will take you on a tour of the best paddle boarding spots on Big Bear Lake.
Rental providers like Getboards Kayak & Paddle Board Rentals and Paddles and Pedals also provide paddleboard rentals and are not necessarily associated with a marina. Some rental vendors also offer paddleboard delivery, allowing you to have your paddleboard rental delivered to your vacation cabin without having to go to a store, dock, or marina.
Other charter services and vendors of rentals and lessons include the Big Bear Watersports School, North Shore Landing, Designated Wakesports, and Big Bear Boating (the latter of which seems as though it would specialize in only boating, but actually caters to paddleboarders among its other clientele).
Prices for renting stand-up paddleboards in Big Bear range from as low as $25 for a one-hour session to upwards of $85 for full-day rentals. Oftentimes, rental providers may require a minimum amount of time for your rental session, so be sure to ask ahead of time before renting.
