the Water
We started Yak N Sup because we believe everyone deserves a great day on the lake. No experience required.
We started Yak N Sup because we believe everyone deserves a great day on the lake. No experience required.
Yak N Sup started with a simple idea — that getting on the water shouldn't be complicated, expensive, or intimidating. We wanted to make kayaking and paddleboarding accessible to everyone, from first-timers to seasoned paddlers.
We set up at Canyon Lake Marina in Arizona, one of the most stunning stretches of water in the Southwest — massive canyon walls, calm water, and scenery that genuinely stops people in their tracks. We're growing — and wherever we go, we bring the same obsession with making lake days great.
We're locally owned, lake-obsessed, and genuinely stoked every time we see someone push off from the dock for the first time. That energy is what Yak N Sup is all about.
Everything we do comes back to these.
We protect the places we play. We keep our lakes clean, operate responsibly, and give back to the communities around us.
Welcoming, laid-back, and genuinely happy to be out there. We want every person who shows up to leave with a smile.
We invest in our equipment so you get a great experience every time. Clean boats, properly fitted PFDs, and gear that works.
We're not a chain. We're a local business built around specific communities and specific lakes that we genuinely love.
First timer, grandparent, corporate team, bachelorette crew — everyone belongs on the water. We make it work for all of them.
We're not just renting boats. We're helping people create memories — first paddles, birthdays, proposals, sunsets. All of it.
Massive canyon walls, crystal-clear desert water, and scenery that doesn't look real until you're floating on it.
Canyon Lake is one of the clearest, most striking bodies of water in Arizona. Calm enough for beginners, open enough for those who want to explore — and surrounded by Superstition Mountain scenery you won't find anywhere else.
See Self-Guided Rentals →45 minutes from Phoenix, but it feels like a world away. Canyon walls rising straight out of the water, golden light at sunset, and an energy that just makes people happy to be alive. That's what we've built our whole thing around.
Explore Special Events →We host full moon paddles, sunset paddles, group adventures, and social events because we believe the water is better when shared. We're building a community of people who love lake life — and we want you in it.
Whether you're a first-timer or a regular, a solo paddler or here with 50 of your closest friends, you belong at Yak N Sup.
