Great location down in Log Boom Park, but parking can be a little scarce.

The check in was very straight forward, all the equipment is in good shape, and the staff was happy and helpful. Great location down in Log Boom Park, but parking can be a little scarce. Otherwise, it's an easy and great way to get on the water!

I purchased a Groupon for my boyfriend and I (2 boards for 2 hours) a couple weekends ago. We selected to redeem at Marina Park in Kirkland. I was able to reserve a time easily even a couple days before the desired reservation. We showed up right on time (try to be there 10 minutes early like they suggest). We were given lifejackets, boards and paddles, and a brief introduction.

We had a blast. The waters were way too rocky to paddle board though. The boats coming in and out of the marina caused huge waves (I got sea sick it was so bumpy and aggressive). We couldn't stay on the board longer than a minute before falling off. We were a little disappointed, but still had fun sitting on the board and paddling around.

We plan on renting again before the summer ends, but will probably book for the Juanita Beach Park location, because the water seems to be more calm.

Nice friendly staff, decent price, nice area for basic kayaking , nothing exotic, the only negative point is we were asked to take the kayaks to the shore and bring them back which I believe should be the staff responsibility, these things area heavy. Granted, they were somewhat busy!

Used a Groupon to come here over the weekend for my first-ever SUP experience. Per the Groupon recs, I reserved a time in advance--however, I only booked 3 or 4 days ahead and there was still plenty of availability on a Saturday, which I appreciated. Although I can't speak for the other locations around town, ease of booking definitely earned NWPS some points in my book. Also, the liability waiver is available online to sign before you even show up! Another plus.

The SUP Shack itself is located in the building that faces the beach and is pretty easy to spot. If you park in the on-site lot, walk toward the water and you'll see it. We arrived 15 minutes early and were able to get paddles and life vests, hear a brief tutorial on what to do (and not to do), and hit the water slightly before our intended start time of 11. Board availability was pretty good: both my boyfriend and I were able to get a size that fit us off of the rack near the launch site. One of the employees was also carrying more boards that way for other patrons.

Once on the water, we got the hang of it fairly quickly! Despite some wind chop and wakes (which we had been warned about in our tutorial), the lake was overall pretty smooth sailing.. Er, paddling. One thing I would recommend is wearing a watch or other waterproof timekeeping device while renting--otherwise, it's easy to lose track of time (and I don't know if they charge late fees because I didn't push it). I double bagged my phone in a ziploc (fancy, I know) and it worked just fine.

Overall, this place is a fun way to get in a workout while spending time outside and enjoying the beauty of Lake Washington. I'd definitely come back! Also if you're thinking of checking it out, look to see if they still have that Groupon!

We had a GREAT experience at Juanita Beach with Northwest Paddle Surfers. The staff was friendly and helpful (we especially appreciated Marcy), and they got us out early, so we had more than our full two hours.

We will go paddle surfing again, for certain!

I had a good time paddle boarding here! Juanita is sooo nice! You're on Lake Washington here. For our group of 5, we had to make reservations ahead of time. $20/hr regularly, but we had groupons for half off. Ample parking in the lot, but it was pretty early in the morning.

The water on Lake Union is a lot more calm since it's a smaller lake, so sometimes I felt like I was going to fall here, but I didn't. However, at Lake Union I never even felt a bit unbalanced. So with the water being a bit more rough, it also made traveling thru it easier. Each paddle of the water made me travel further than at Lake Union. So that was nice. Also, bigger lake, more just enjoying the water instead of the boat houses all around Lake Union.

Overall we had a good experience - we got a paddle boarding deal on Travelzoo for 2 people for 2 hours. We arrived on a busy Sunday afternoon, were promptly greeted and attended to. They have a place you can store your stuff, so don't worry about your keys getting wet.

We were escorted onto the section of the beach that had all the paddle boards lying around. We were given two paddles and told - "you're all set! have fun!" You can imagine our surprise to the lack of instructions or even a basic lesson in how the heck to get onto that slippery board. I've never paddle boarded before and would have really appreciated a quick lesson. The person also didn't seem to know anything about the paddle boards, because they were different shapes and when we asked if it matters which one we choose and also why they are different, she said it didn't matter and that we should just grad whatever... Okaaaay.

Regardless we had a lot of fun on the water and would probably do it again. Just don't expect any training, help or instructions.

Addition (7/9/14): Staff claims that you get "on-shore safety briefing and basic technique instruction." What that was for us was "put that ankle strap on your ankle and have the board face this way". There were no basic technique instruction at all. We did make a reservation week ahead of time.

Will definitely be back!

My friend and I had a great experience paddle boarding on Friday June 7th. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They checked us in, fitted us for our paddles and then led us down to the beach where the boards were waiting for us. The lake is gorgeous but it is windy out there. Keep that in mind when you are paddling- at some point you do have to go against the wind. The boards are really nice- definitely big and wide and sturdy. The life jackets we were given were brand new and very comfortable. When we got back, again, the guys that work there were so friendly and nice and chit chatty- genuinely seem to enjoy working there. Definitely gave us a great feeling about our experience. And there's this awesome farmers market on Fridays in the summer starting at 3pm right behind the boat house so we got to enjoy that too! We parked right behind the building and kept our valuables in the car, but they let us keep our shoes and bag in the boat house there if we wanted.

I haven't taken the SUP yoga class here, but I did take the teacher Lindsay on Lake Sammamish and she led a fantastic class.
