Stand Up Paddle Boarding may be one of the most popular activities in the Tampa Bay area. The surging popularity of the activity has allowed Urban Kai to open a new location right across from the Tampa Riverwalk at the Marriott Waterside downtown (700 South Ashley Drive).
The Urban Kai SUP Garage will offer paddle board/kayak rentals, board storage, lessons, SUP fitness classes and urban city tours. If you’re a downtown resident looking for a place to store your paddle board you can inquire about reservations with Urban Kai at 813.598.1634.
