What to Expect When Renting from Eastern Sierra Paddleboards

Posted on June 19th, 2026

Planning a lake day in Mammoth, June Lake, Lee Vining, or anywhere in the Eastern Sierra? Renting a paddleboard should be simple, flexible, and stress-free. At Eastern Sierra Paddleboards, we make the rental process easy so you can spend more time enjoying the water.

Step 1: Submit a Rental Request

To get started, simply fill out our contact form with your preferred rental date, number of boards, and whether you are interested in pickup or delivery. 

Helpful details to include in your message: 

- Your preferred rental date

- Number of paddleboards needed

- Whether you want Crowley Lake pickup or delivery

- Your desired pickup/drop-off location

- Where you are hoping to paddle, if you already know (we are happy to offer suggestions!)

Once we receive your request, we’ll reach out to confirm availability, timing, and the best pickup or delivery option for your plans.

Because we are a small, locally run paddleboard rental business, we personally confirm each rental to make sure the timing and location work for you.

Step 2: Choose the Rental Option That Works Best for You

We currently offer a few different rental options depending on how long you want to paddle and whether you need delivery.

24-Hour Paddleboard Rental - Delivery

Our 24-hour delivery rental is a great option if you want the easiest, most convenient experience. We can deliver your inflatable paddleboard to your home, condo, hotel, or vacation rental in Mammoth Lakes, then pick it up after your lake day. 

Delivery may also be available to nearby areas such as June Lake and Lee Vining for an additional fee depending on location. 

This option is ideal if you want your board ready to go without needing to pick it up yourself. 

24-Hour Paddleboard Rental - Crowley Lake Pickup & Return 

Want the flexibility of a full-day rental while saving a little? Our 24-hour Crowley Lake pickup and return option is our best value rental. 

You'll pick up your inflatable paddleboard at our Crowley Lake pickup location, use it for up to 24 hours, and return it when you're done. This is a great option for locals, visitors who will be passing by Crowley on their way into or out of town, or anyone who does not need delivery. 

5-Hour Paddleboard Rental - Crowley Lake Pickup & Return 

Our 5-hour rental is perfect for a shorter lake day, a quick morning paddle, or anyone who wants a simple and affordable way to get on the water. 

This option is pickup and return only at our Crowley Lake location. It's a great choice if you already have a lake in mind and only need the board for part of the day. 

Step 3: Learn How to Use the Board

All of our paddleboards are inflatable, beginner-friendly, and easy to use. When deflated, they pack down small enough to fit in most cars, making pickup and transport simple.

Each rental includes the basic gear you need for a lake day, including a paddle, pump, and life jacket.

If you are new to inflatable paddleboards, we’re happy to walk you through the setup. We can show you how to inflate and deflate the board, adjust the paddle, use the safety gear, and get comfortable with the basics before you head out.

If needed, we can also help you inflate the board or show you the best way to load and secure it for transport.

Our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and confident before getting on the water.

Step 4: Enjoy Your Time on the Water

Once you have your board, you’re free to enjoy your rental at your own pace. You can take it to a calm alpine lake, enjoy a relaxed morning paddle, spend the afternoon exploring the shoreline, or make it part of a full day outside with friends and family.

Popular nearby paddleboarding spots include Convict Lake, Lake Mary, June Lake, Crowley Lake, and other beautiful Eastern Sierra lakes.

Before heading out, always check the current weather and wind conditions. Mountain weather can change quickly, and calm conditions usually make for the best paddleboarding experience.

Step 5: Return the Board or Schedule Pickup

At the end of your rental, we’ll follow the pickup or return plan we confirmed with you ahead of time.

If you chose delivery, we’ll coordinate pickup from the agreed-upon location. If you chose Crowley Lake pickup, you’ll return the board to our Crowley Lake pickup location.

We’ll make sure you know exactly what to expect before your rental begins.
