Your three-hour Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) rental will start at a local kayak facility near the mouth of the Truckee River, Lake Tahoe's only outlet, where you have the option to paddle out in whatever direction you feel like. The lake is 12 miles across and dozens of miles long, and although you may be tempted, you'll want to stay close to the shore and avoid trying to cross among the motorboats and jet skiers cruising the area. Your single-person kayak will keep you afloat among the gentle waves and light wind that cross the lake in the early morning and afternoon as you float by the granite boulders and massive sugar pines that ring the lake. The time will pass quickly as you work your muscles and push yourself throughout the three hours until you return to the river to disembark for your next adventure - unless you decide to upgrade to a full day rental!
Duration: 3 hours

Had a great time paddleboarding. 3 hours was plenty of time to explore on the lake. They even offered the use of kayaks at no additional charge.

We had a great time. We booked an early morning lesson at 8:00 AM. As we headed to the lake, there was still an early morning chill so we weren’t sure we really wanted to be on the water, but we are so glad we did. First, it warmed up quickly. And second, standup paddle boarding is a lot more strenuous than we had guessed it would be. So we were warm the entire time. It also didn’t hurt that the instructors were great, so we never actually ended up in the water (which no doubt would have been cold). They had us paddle boarding like pros in just minutes. Note: we reserved our lesson via TripAdvisor and the email we got listed the meeting point as their office at 521 N Lake Blvd. We nearly missed our lesson waiting there until the instructors called us to let us know to come down to Commons Beach. Please note that this is the correct meeting place, down on the beach.
