EpicSUP

I had such a great first experience paddle boarding today! I wondered if this location was going to be too far out to be very nice but parking was easy, the water was beautiful, there were lots of coves and a small island to explore, and it was really nice to not be super crowded like it can be on the west side of Town Lake. The staff was friendly and helpful. I definitely plan to go back! Thanks for the great time. :-)

Quiet part of the lake… nice and relaxing. Not much to see, but staff was cool and equipment good. No bathroom or parking other than street and woods. :) All good though. I’ll go again. The water was a bit turbid, but it’s because the dam had released some water upstream. It’s usually more clear.

This place is located in front of the Hi-​International Hostel.
I’ve kayaked in three spots and this is by far my fave.
Added bonus, the white dude with dreads is so chill– I want to run him for Office.
Last time I came and he wasn’t there.
No pun but I asked what was ‘Sup?
He’s on a rock climbing trip.
This guy is like my light house beacon.
I was rattled.
Who gonna be my new rock?
The new guys are solid. I’m a big fan of this place.
If you go here go to The Buzz Mill and enjoy their cold brew or have a drink. They pickle vodka, and have walnuts marinating in whiskey.
Couple of those and the Texas sun won’t get in your eyes no ‘mo!

It was my first time kayaking in Austin, and thank god I read from some website that recommended this place. The location is wonderful. Parking was not difficult at all. The location is slightly secluded which is perfect because there is less «people traffic» and barely any wait time. You sign a waiver on the ipad and then pay. The guy who helped us out was extremely nice. Gave us a quick tutorial before we headed out and recommended spots we could kayak too. He also offered lifejackets, which is optional, but since I can’t swim, I gladly accepted! They have little lockers for you to place your belongings, or they have this plastic bag thing where you can place your items in and take with you out. The guy helping us helped us on to the kayak and when we came back, also helped us get back on land. Very very great service. Kayaking is $ 15/​hour!

Very helpful quiet place to sup. If you want to practice your balance or turning it’s good cause not a lot of cross traffic. Parking on the street is ample

This is by far my favorite place to go paddle boarding. The staff is always friendly and professional, and if it’s your first time getting out on board, they walk you through how to get up and everything really quick, and they’ll also suggest some spots to paddle out to. And my absolute favorite thing about this place is that it’s never crowded! No waiting in a long line to get out on the water :]

This place was GREAT! Very family friendly! It was our first time SUPing with my daughters 15 and 11. The instructor was very patient, thorough, fun and friendly. They did a great job of explaining everything. It’s the perfect part of the lake for beginners and if you want to relax. We LOVED it and will definitely be going back to EPICsup again!

First time Paddle boarding, glad I decided to go with Epic SUP! We were given good clear instructions. We paddled over to listen to the concert going on as part of salsa festival, then toured more of the lake. Was not overly crowded. Thanks for making our first time Epic!

I was very pleased with my experience at Epic SUPing today, especially compared to the other docks I have gone to. I was a part of a big group using a groupon and we still had wonderful service. Unlike other places, the employees here give a short tutorial on how to stand up paddleboard and give some advice about the area too. As opposed to other rowing docks, this place has top staff and great equipment. Cade was who helped us out and he was very friendly. I will be back! Would recommend for any one looking for a fun, safe stand up paddleboarding excursion!

This place is awesome! Definitely Austin’s hidden gem in a slew of over priced water fun! This was a first time for me, my boyfriend, and sister trying out SUP’s. Epic gave us a tutorial on what to do, gave us free lockers to store our stuff, and were extremely friendly! We paid for a 2 hour trip at $ 15 hourly. We had an absolute blast but got held up by the wind on the way back and we ended up accidentally being 45 minutes late. They were so nice about everything and didn’t charge us for our extra time (probably because they were genuinely concerned for my well being). I will 100% be coming here only from now on for water sports on Towne Lake. Totally recommend! * they even sell waters and gatorades for cheap.

Awesome service and great location! Not as busy on the the east side which is really nice. I had a blast for my first time :)

The headline: Do not pass «Go,» go straight to EpicSUP. After seeing all of those stand up paddle boarders on the lake, I decided it was time for me to get out there. EpicSUP was the perfect choice for my first outing, and I can’t imagine I’ll go anywhere else. Their boards are the best; the setting is perfect; the prices are competitive; and the staff is friendly and knowledgable. I was a bit intimidated at first, but EpicSUP’s helpful instruction and their well-​designed, high-​quality boards made the outing a huge success. Once I felt comfortable on the board (which didn’t take long), I loved being on the water and appreciated that we were removed from the more crowded stretches of the lake. Plus, the city and park views are unbeatable. No question — I’ll be back.

I spent an hour this morning with Todd. I’m already slightly sore, a bit sunburned, and I can’t wait to do it again! Epic SUP is opening a new dock location in a few weeks and I will be the first in line! I really enjoyed my lesson with Todd. He was super patient, full of knowledge, and easy on the eyes too. He continued to coach once we were on the water, he was easy to talk to, and really knows his stuff. You can tell, he is absolutely passionate about what he does and wants to share it with others. I feel like I have been introduced to new sport and can’t wait to dive in! SUP is a great workout, fun, and it’s really enjoyable. Austin is such a water-​centered area. SUP is a great way to get on the water and really enjoy the zen-​like atmosphere. Todd has tons of great information and I absolutely will be back to rent another board and head out to enjoy another beautiful day in Austin. Add this to the list of Austin-​offered greatness. Score for the home team!
