San Diego rental?

Headed to San Diego from frozen Cleveland some time in April. Would love to find a ski I can rent for the week. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure, but two possibilities:

-) It might be worth contacting San Diego Canoe and Kayak Team (www.sdckt.net/). Not sure if they do rentals but perhaps a membership could be possible if you were really desperate to paddle?

-) I think Aqua Adventures might have a ski or two in their fleet?

Have fun.

please post if you find anything. I'll be in the pebble beach area of San Diego at the end of June and would love to find a ski to paddle for a day.

thanks

While visiting my parents just north of San Diego a few years ago, I checked around and found Aqua Adventures had an Epic V10S and an Epic carbon wing paddle for rent. I rented the boat on two occasions while in the area, and had a blast playing on Mission Bay. The people at Aqua Adventures were great to deal with as well. Give them a call.

Sorry to report Aqua Adventures is probably not an option:

No we don’t have a surf ski. The one we have is cracked on the side and might be too old to repair. Ill take a look at it and see if I can make it water tight. Other than that I don’t know any other place that would rent a surf ski. Sorry for the trouble.
Sincerely,

Chris


Nice of him to take time to reply. I will keep hunting and will post if I find anything.

I rented their surf ski a couple of times in Dec. 2009; it sounds like the following 5 years must have been pretty rough on it! That's kind of surprising, since it sounded like not many people rented it. Maybe they dropped it... At any rate, it's a 1st gen V10S Performance layup. See photo.

TodS,

You might try contacting Deanne at "oceanpaddlesports.com" in
Costa Mesa (not to far from San Diego). She can probably set you
up. They are a Fenn dealer and rent skis for international events.
