Colorado SUP Sports

This is an outstanding company to rent paddleboards. Chris is knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. I witnessed her offering a life vest to a couple who had their own paddleboard so they would not receive a ticket from the park rangers. She also gave us eyeglass holders to use so our glasses wouldn’t end up in the pond. I highly recommend Colorado SUP Sports!

I have rented from West and his wife for a few years and always had a great experience. Finally decided to pull the trigger and buy a board from them. Great experience and their recommendations for brand and type were spot on. They helped me set everything up and get going and have been great to work with. Such a cool couple and a great CO business !!

10 stars! When I bring my daughters to Denver to visit Grandma, we always manage to find an adventure of some sort. Yesterday, it was SUP! We called in the morning and made arrangements for a lesson in the afternoon. Chris’ enthusiasm was delightful. The girls swim like fish but I am not as confident in the water. West is chill and engaging, super knowledgeable and safe. We were on our boards in no time, learning the right way, having a great time, playing games, making memories, enjoying a magnificent day. Chris came out and showed me how to safely tow the girls in on my board — if I ever needed to. From start to finish I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. I look forward to enjoying this sport again and hope to join Chris and West out on the lake next time we visit Denver.

If I could give them 6 stars, I would! They are so friendly, accommodating, and fun! Chris was awesome – she was so welcoming and informative when we rented from her at Cherry Creek Reservoir yesterday. BEST price to rent SUPs at the reservoir too!
They offer you sunglasses bands and sunscreen… and to watch your keys or anything else you don’t want to get wet. You can’t beat this company – be sure to rent from them!

We were planning to paddle the Platte and needed to rent some life-​jackets. West was SUPER helpful and dropped off the jackets right to my house in Highlands Ranch so that we could enjoy the day. We’ll be using Colorado SUP Sports for all of our rentals going forward — amazing customer service!

Love love love this place for board rentals and yoga! Super friendly and professional service. Was looking for a race board and West let me demo board after board helping me through the pros and cons of each one. Chris is über helpful and friendly as well. Definitely get to Chatfield for some fun on the water with lessons, rentals and SUP yoga!

The owner of Colorado SUP Sports, West Shirley, advertised a MeetUp that said
«Join us for a day of all things SUP! On Sat. Aug. 2^nd, Colorado SUP Sports is proud to host the „Paddle at the Puddle“ at Chatfield’s Gravel Pond.
Events include a race clinics, SUP Yoga sessions, board demos, citizen and elite races.
„What’s a CITIZEN’s race?“ How about a race for the rest of us that just want to have fun without the hardcore competition?! The citizen’s race is open to all, a chance to practice race skills without the agony of defeat or destroying your board. An elite race for those that fancy themselves a pro will also be held.
Try SUP Yoga with our amazing and kind instructors, it’s NOT as hard as you think!
Demo lots of board types and brands and look for a gently loved SUP in our consignment area. Have a board for sale or swap? Bring it!
Call WEST for more details @ 303.»
I called him and asked if we had to sign up because we didn’t have boards of our own and were interested in demo’ing boards as well as the yoga instruction. He said that they had plenty of boards and to come on down to par-​take in the activities.
The day before the event he sent out a schedule that said the yoga had a cost and everything else was free.
When we got there (after spending money to enter the park) he told us there were no demos and that by «plenty of boards» he meant he had boards that we could RENT from him. They were not demo’ing boards at all that day!!? And he seemed shocked that I was suggesting there were demos.
Chatfield is quite a drive for us and once we were in the park we had already paid to be there. It is very sad that this is how West needs to market his business by falsely advertising to get people out there. He most likely thinks that once people are there (driven all the way and paid the fee) they are most likely going to just rent from him. Sad, very sad. He should just be honest and say he is there renting boards. People will come to rent boards… not to be hoodwinked into thinking they are demo’ing.
We rent boards all the time and were thinking of buying (that is why we wanted to demo). I can promise West Shirley this: we will NEVER buy/​rent anything from Colorado SUP Sports!

Amazing service from great and friendly people. My huband and I just purchased a Sup and look forward to doing buisness with them in the future. They both took the time to answer all our questions and walked us through the all steps needed. Cant wait to sign up for some of thier classes.
