Really nice, laid back staff. Will continue renting SUP from these guys over Surf Ballard any day. Make sure you make reservations for rentals because they are busy being so close to Gas Works Park.

I was trying to track down a board for an upcoming trip to Nicaragua. The shop went out of their way to help me track down the specific board I was looking for in time for the trip. It’s almost unbelievable how much effort this shop put into it. I’ll bring all of my business here in the future.

Here is what I love: They love their business and the sports that they cater to. They are knowledgeable and helpful. I had an SUP warranty issue and they were all over it for me. Plus they comp’d me with board from their rental fleet so I would not have to miss my paddle with my friends. I am trying to resist owning multiple boards, but I know where I am going if I give in the temptation.
Plus, they have a lovely put-​in spot across from their shop.

All of the guys were friendly and helpful. But Kyle (I think that was his name) went above and beyond to get my friend and I the right setup and even helped us figure out the best way to strap it to my truck.

very good store.
Their advices were spot on and I had a great experience with then when they repaired my windsurf board. They were the only place in seattle that could do that and they charged a very reasonable price for it.
I liked their big selection of wetsuit to handle PNW weather !

Called to reserve a board for 4 on a Saturday. Our plan was to be on the water from 4 – 6. The price for a 2 hour rental is $ 25. They neglected to tell me that they actually close at 5 on Saturdays and that I would only be able to use one of my two hours. When I called back to ask if I could change my time to 3 – 5 instead they said they didn’t have any more openings for that time.

SUP Rental experience was awesome
I am from South Florida and race on a regular basis down home. I wanted to rent a decent Displacement Hull board and not the standard beat up surf style rental. After calling around a few shops and getting nowhere i called Urban Surf, it was where i needed to go. Eric set me up on a 14′ board and gave me a nice Werner paddle to use. Max and Eric told me more than a few different 12’6 and 14 race style boards they would let me use. These guys were super friendly and very helpful. The price was right and it was about a 2 minute walk to the water. I cannot say enough good things about this shop, they took care of me and invited me to a local race the shop puts on. I don’t know any other shops in Seattle, but i see no reason to try any others.
Thanks again!

Urban Surf is awesome — I highly suggest renting from them. Last Friday I used Urban Surf to rent a Stand Up Paddle Board, and it was great. First of all, they allow you to reserve the boards. Most other places that I’ve been are first come first serve, with huge lines late in the day. The weather has been awesome and we were a little late to make reservations, but they were able to accomodate us with a tandem board. Secondly, they are very easy to work with. They stored our bags/​phones/​keys in the store, and helped us carry the boards to the water. It’s VERY convenient. After renting in Greenlake last year, and having to transport the boards from the rental store to the water, I was expecting the process to be difficult. Urban Surf is right on Lake Union, making this all seamless. It’s also reasonably priced; comparable/​cheaper to other places for SUP rentals. Thanks for a great experience, looking forward to renting again!

These guys were very helpful. I had never been on a SUP and am from out of town, and I was impressed with their approach.

I just moved to town and these guys have been so helpful.
I was looking for a very specific type of SUP board, and Robin emailed with me to confirm they had it and even set up a demo. He was very sweet and responsive, and when I arrived his staff was all so friendly. I’d demoed a lot of boards before, and as I’d hoped, I loved the one I picked and would definitely shop with them again. It’s nice to find a shop that has a good selection. I already have my eye on the rest of the gear I want to get: wetsuits, leashes…
Also, being right by Lake Union is a cool place to demo. It’s a strange walk across the street, but once you get there it’s easy to hop in and paddle. But quiet enough that you’re not stuck in the main waterways if you don’t want to be.

Posers. Overpriced and all about sales. I guess if your a kiteboarder then its OK. But The surf board selection sucks. They close early a lot. They do have good wetsuit prices sometimes I’ll give them that only reason they got 2 stars. Wouldn’t mind working there since they never do anything. Internet sales is what there all about. Go to wave hounds instead way better service and product selection for surfboards.

Decent selection of wetsuits, boards and clothes. Surf wear is always over priced, so I never buy surf brand clothes. I kind of moved on after I graduated from high school and moved away from Hawaii. Also, I’m not paying $ 30 for a t-​shirt. I mean that’s standard tho, not specific to this store. Friendly staff. Knowledgable. My fiancé found out some information about kite boarding. They also do lessons. Looks like they rent SUPs, etc.

Love this place! Great selection without a ridiculous mark-​up. Staff is super knowledgable and low pressure. Best location to rent a SUP, you can just walk over to Lake Union and start cruising!

Best place to rent a SUP, close to lake union, and they treat you like an adult. Wear your life vest if you need it, otherwise feel free to leave it on your board. If you can’t swim, you know it and you’ll use it. Staff is friendly and helpful, can’t wait for the sun to come out so I can get back on the water!

I have really enjoyed their SUP rentals this summer. Took a few to the San Juans on a trip and had a ton of fun. They have Wed night SUP races and tried my first last week. Great store… my only complaint is that sometimes they’re not super friendly. I have waited at the counter numerous times for a good 5 min while in a bit of a hurry and was not acknowledged by the employee, also at said counter, who was looking at the computer. Then a greeting was given, though, without taking eyes away from the screen. Like the store but a few times I’ve come away needing to vent my frustrations.

Why is it that young men in surf shops are invariably adorable despite their often bizarrely groomed facial hair? I suppose it’s the tan and the muscles and the aura of supreme cool…
Ah to be young again.
But I digress. The best thing about the Urban Surf hotties is that they didn’t laff at this old lady when I brought in my entourage (10-​year-​old kid, shorn little white dog, amused husband) and announced I wanted to learn to Kite Surf (
).
They were like, cooooooooolll.
I left the store happy as a floaty clam with a Rush 300 Power Kite to practice with on land. It’s the best way to learn, I’ve been assured. In January I plan to take my old, slightly afeert of the water (really, I just don’t want to get my hair wet, that’s all) butt out and try it for reals in Hawaii. In the meantime, I need some wind.
