Founded on a pure passion for the sport, Bliss encourages you to be YOU - young or old, in shape or not, we will meet you at your level so that you can find your true bliss.
We want to share with you the serenity that comes from gliding through blue water, passing a pod of dolphins and inhaling deeply the scent of salt air; the feeling of sun on your skin, and a breeze on your cheeks as you explore the ocean environment and the boundaries of your own comfort zone.Out there, the moment comes when awareness of the beauty around you blossoms, a smile spreads across your face, and the bliss sets in.

San Diego: Enjoy a relaxing yoga paddle session in beautiful Mission Beach. This class starts with a lesson on the beach to teach you paddle technique, launching, paddling and turning. Then, we paddle to a calm cove and anchor down the boards before moving through an hour of yoga asana on the boards.
Join us for Bliss Paddle Yoga Teacher Training in Newport Beach! This unique and exciting opportunity is for certified yoga instructors as well as practioners that want to deepen their practice and play on the water in southern California. Breathe fun into your yoga practice and teaching with Bliss Paddle Yoga (TM.) Get your sea legs (and a tan!) stand up paddle boarding and make some incredible friendships along the way.
The Joy Ride is a full soft deck board designed with stability and fun in mind. At 33 wide, with flat rockers and thick foils, this board is sure to please the paddler looking for a stable platform, perfect for beginners transitioning through to intermediate levels. The Joy Rides are also shorter respectively, making it easy to maneuver, transport, and store.
Nestled north of Main Beach and downtown Laguna, Diver's Cove is at the northern end of Heisler Park near a large condo building. North Laguna Beach is home to the best paddle boarding with meandering, protected coves like Emerald Bay, Crescent Cove, and Seal Rock. North Laguna also has far fewer crowds than tourist packed south Laguna Beach.

My husband and I scheduled through our hotel the Inn at Laguna.
We have never done it before, the van we had to meet at was super sketchy and the guy was unable to open the van for most of the time (wasn't his fault). The guy was nice but wasn't able to get the paddle boards out of the van. Then when he did he gave me one and my husband a small one. When we went out my husband learned that the board was way to small, more was a surf board so he paddled back to switch out the board, then couldn't find the guy because the guy had to repark the van. So it took my husband a while to

I'd give zero stars if I could.
Taylor, is extremely unprofessional and a liar. I booked a class via ClassPass only to have Taylor text me at 6am the day of the class (the class is at 10AM) asking if I can come the next day instead. She did not wait for my response and canceled the 10AM class, without reason.
Taylor blamed the cancel on rain... except it wasn't raining at all, it was a beautiful day. I live in Newport only about half a mile from the location, not sure why she'd lie about the weather.
I will be reporting this unprofessionalism to class pass.

If I could give no stars I would. I have signed up with them before great LOVED it really knowledgeable and fun instructor it was a great day. Yesterday not so much. I arrive walk up say hey just to let her know I'm there, Taylor on the phone walks away goes to the other side of the vehicle literally hides behind it continues to talk. Does not acknowledge my presence ok fine, she's on the phone.
When she coms back around she's nice enough, gives me board, helps me into the water, points out a few sites. Cool, I'm off, I decide once out there I don't want really want

Very disappointing!
I've been through Bliss Paddle before with no issues but this go-around was a different story. Everything started out well, I met the person renting my board with me and everything, I told her my parking expired at 5:45 and emphasized to her that I'll be needing to go by 5:30 to get there on time. I emphasized this to her again before going out and was met with an 'Ok, I get it' response. Made me feel like I was being overbearing and somewhat difficult. Once we agreed to meet around 5:15 to drop the board off I felt ensured she would be there.

My first experience with bliss about 5 years ago was great, did a 2 hour paddleboarding session in Laguna Beach, and used a living social deal ($20 for 2 hours)
I have another living social deal that was gifted to me and I just got off the phone with Taylor (owner) and she said I can only use it for Newport or San Diego, even though the voucher clearly says Laguna Beach. So if you don't want to paddleboard in the polluted bay, do not purchase any groupon or living social deals from this company. I'll be contacting living social about this as well. I have recommended many people to come

We had the most amazing time with for a two hour rental standup paddleboard with Brandon. Brandon was the nicest most thoughtful toward God we've ever had. He made our rental experience seamless easy and fun.
It was my first one of our first times attempting SUP Yoga and the boards were perfect. Highly recommend these guys.

I along with 4 other people arranged a paddle board rental with bliss, and although we had a blast, there were a few inefficiencies.
The price is very fair- we paid $35 per person for an hour and a half of boarding. The girls there were so sweet and helpful. They were just chill Californians with a great attitude, so it was nice dealing with them.
The problem came when they only had 2 of our 5 boards available. They assured us that a family would be coming in and we would have the boards soon. 30 minutes later, we continues to watch 3 of our family members use their boards while we waited for

PLEASE READ: As you see multiple good reviews they have, please keep in mind it's easy to give a good review when everything is perfect (good weather, no injuries, etc). How a company deals with bad situations shows so much about who they really are. The thing all the horrible reviews have in common is that if anything goes wrong, Bliss does not care about you or you well being, they care about charging you no matter what so they can get that money they are so greedy for.

We just came back from Laguna beach where we rented stand up paddle boards from Bliss Paddle Board. It was a windy day and even though the person from the office mentioned that the conditions were not perfect, they still said it was pretty mellow and we should be okay. The guy who brought the boards didn't really give us any precautions against the wind or even basic safety instructions like staying away from the shore and rocks because that's where the waves hit really hard. After 20 minutes into the water, two of my friends ended up getting overthrown by the waves and hit pretty bad

A great experience paddle boarding at Laguna Beach. The swells were pretty high that day, about 3 to 4 feet. So for those with a queasy stomach, you might get a little seasick standing on your board bobbing up-and-down. However the beautiful turquoise waters and kelp forest below you, along with lounging see lions and a wonderful view from far out in the ocean makes the experience a memorable one. The owners of this company bring the paddle boards down to the waterfront and help you launch out. At first it takes practice standing. I wasn't expecting paddle boarding to be as challenging as

I'll start by saying that my instructor, Angela, was great. She made my boyfriend and me feel really confident about trying paddle boarding, and we both went out to buy our own boards a few weeks after!
My boyfriend and I ended up at Bliss since they were one of the few rental places that was actually open in January, so that's a plus. Angela was thorough with instruction and we were both standing basically right when we got into the water. The ride itself was both fun and relaxing, and Angela showed us a couple of cool places/things you couldn't necessarily see from the land.

I can't be too picky about a company that has almost full dependency on natural settings aka the waves.
I bought a living social deal with a friend in Feb (almost 7 months ago)? But didn't get to use it until September because we were cancelled about 3 times. It's because the waves were so strong that we weren't able to get out into the ocean. I wish I had known that before I bought the deal. It's not the company's fault but it was definitely frustrating scheduling, rescheduling, clearing schedules and then having cancelled plans.. Etc.
However Bliss was very generous

Gotta love this company! I have rented boards from Paddle Board Bliss in the past at the Diver's Cove /Laguna Beach location several times, so when my 7 nieces and nephews decided that they wanted take an adventure, I knew who to call. I prefer to paddle in the ocean vs. the harbor because it is more challenging and provides the chance to see more wildlife. For example, the water depth in Diver's cove is 9-15 feet, so you can see the bottom and the various wildlife that inhabit the area including Garibaldi or giant orange fish.
Since we were all comfortable in the water, we just rented

We tried Paddle Board Bliss in Laguna Beach when we moved to Laguna Beach and we were not disappointed. Diver's Cove is a perfect place to launch from and they had all of the boards at the bottom of the stairs waiting for us.
On the phone they were extremely pleasant and helpful and in person exactly the same.
We have brought many friends and family to Paddle Board Bliss and everyone of our friends and family have had a wonderful time.

Just got done with a lesson and tour, and had to let you all know how wonderful it was! My instructor (can't remember her name, but she was SO sweet & teaches yoga too) was kind & knowledgable. We took off from Diver's Cove in Laguna and it's a gorgeous spot. It was nice to not have to lug the board around and have that done...quite the luxury!
We saw a rock island full of sun bathing seals, and a pod of dolphins fishing in the kelp. I can surf, but it's worth it to take the class to be able to ask all those *stupid* questions you know you want to ask if you've

Well it fell short of a five star experience but here is why. I reserved a spot for Saturday the between 11:30-12 along with two other friends. Because I haven't driven to divers cove for awhile I will be honest I sorta took the longer way down Pacific coast highway causing us to be late by about ten minutes. We called to inform them but as we got tree they were already gone. A courtesy call would of been great or letting us know they will hang on for this much longer or tell the people wanting to take our spot that it's reserved. Come on reserved means reserved you don't just give

I have been spoiled I definitely - I am only going to paddleboard off of Diver's Cove from now on!
Thanks to Paddleboard Bliss - I've been exposed to such an amazing location. The water was clear, the kelp picturesque, water was calm - everything was in great condition. We paddlers out and used the kelp to anchor us during the yoga session, brilliant?!?!
Taylor was a great instructor, calm voice and just so chill that her energy radiated such positivity. I can't wait to rent from her again! After a paddle yoga session you could paddle as long as you wanted after the class! I will

Blissful indeed!
I recently moved to the area, and wanted to paddle board. With some research and the luck of a yelp coupon, I happily scheduled a lesson with Paddle Board Bliss.
They are so helpful with scheduling, and rescheduling (:
The location is beautiful. I was worried to have my first lesson on the open ocean opposed to the Back Bay, but I am so glad I learned in the deep blue AND on a day with choppy waters! It really helped me overcome my fears of falling in, and oh..can I have a moment to gloat? I DIDN'T FALL IN MY FIRST TIME! Woot woot!
