Choose from Three Options

  • $27 for one advanced standup-paddleboard (SUP) ocean tour (a $55 value)
  • $29 for one 90-minute lesson and a two-hour rental of a 10-foot Angulo SUP board, valid Monday–Tuesday (an $80 value)
  • $45 for one 90-minute lesson and a two-hour rental of a 10-foot Angulo SUP board, valid Saturday–Sunday (a $90 value)

Beginners learn the basics of standing up, steering, and paddling during the SUP lesson, which includes board and paddle rental. Lessons are offered Mondays, Tuesdays, and Sundays at 10 a.m. and Saturdays at 3 p.m. The two-hour rentals give riders a chance to hit the waves on a fast, 10-foot Angulo board after the lesson or on a separate date.

During the advanced SUP ocean tour, guides lead experienced SUP riders to the Santa Cruz Wharf, where they can witness aquatic wildlife, including sea lions.

SUP Shack

Trudie Ransom knows just how addictive the sensation of standing above the waves can be. After just a few trips out on her board, she not only began training with the standup-paddleboarding master Andy Whitman from Angulo boards, but also opened up SUP Shack. From her experience shadowing Whitman, she decided the best way to introduce people to the sport was with Angulo’s soft, 10-foot boards, which serve as an easy surface to learn on while spending a day on the waves or taking one of the shop’s classes or tours. Classes never contain more than six students, allowing each student to have the one-on-one attention needed to master the art of balancing and maneuvering the board. Once pupils are sure of their strokes, the shop’s instructors lead guided tours that slip out across the rippling blue mirror and past the sights of the harbor or tackle the more advanced paths past sea-lion habitats. Late-evening tours pause as the sun sets over the ocean, filling the sky with color like somebody inciting peacocks to riot.

The Groupon Guide to: Skiing Sayings

Anyone who's spent a significant amount of time around professional skiers will tell you that downhill dunderheads (as they prefer to be called) have their own culture and way of speaking. Here are some phrases you can expect to hear the next time you’re sliding down the slopes:

  • It's all downhill from here!
  • I'm down with downhill skiing!
  • Head downhill, dummy!
  • Hey, look at me! I'm a character on Downhill Abbey!
  • What is that coat made of? Down? Hill ya later!
  • I'm king of the downhill!
  • Just call me Down Hill-ary because I'm the Hillary Clinton of downhill skiing!
  • Powder over chowder!
