From purpose-built surf boats to fishing sit-on-tops and single or tandem cruisers, the Cambria Bike Rental and Surf Shop runs a well-maintained fleet available by the half-day (4 hours) or for a full day — a straightforward way for adults to trade the shore for waves and calm inland water alike.

Outing Highlights

THE FLEET

Always clean, purpose-built kayaks

The shop keeps a range of craft — single, tandem, fishing and surf kayaks — described as always clean and well maintained, so you launch from reliable equipment whether you’re touring or trolling.

THE OPTIONS

Half-day or full-day flexibility

Rentals are offered in 4-hour blocks or for an entire day, letting you choose a quick paddle or an extended outing without changing operators or gear.

THE WATER

From serene lake laps to catching shore breaks

The rental fleet is suited to both inland exploration and coastal surf; paddlers can use fishing kayaks, surf kayaks or standard singles and tandems depending on whether they plan to fish, cruise or run waves.

The setup is about practical choices: single or tandem for cruising, fishing kayaks for anglers, and surf kayaks if you’re aiming for waves.
