Mike's Paddle (Alameda)

I took a private lesson today and everyone at the shop was lovely. Kristine answered my questions thoroughly via email beforehand, and Joey who was my instructor gave clear helpful instructions and feedback, and was fun to go out with. Everyone I encountered was nice and the place had a chill vibe. Highly recommend!

Kudos to Christine from Mike’s Paddle for stellar customer service. I was looking for a light-weight wetsuit jacket for teaching swim lessons. After several back and forth texts, about products and sizing, Christine took the the time to call me directly, but soon realized she did not have my size in the jacket we determined was best. I thanked her and hung up. Unsolicited, she called the manufacturing company to see if they had my size in stock and immediately called me back to tell me how to order through them. Although she did not make the sale for her company, she did make a fan! I already received my jacket and love it! Thank you, Christine! I will spread the word!

Great vibe at Mike's Paddle! Excellent place to hop in a rental kayak for a chill scenic paddle. Good spot for beginners, easy ocean access for the more experienced. Awesome staff, beautiful views, easy accessibility.

Fantastic place to learn stand up paddle and kayak. Professional trainers who are super friendly too. Affordable renatal price. Medium size parking lot next to the docking area.

Great place to launch or rent a SUP or kayak. To launch your own small watercraft from Mike’s docks, there is a small launch fee. Free and ample parking, and cafe nearby.
