The waters off Santa Cruz are part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, home to the largest kelp forest in the US, one of North America's largest underwater canyons and the closest-to-shore deep ocean environment in the continental United States. It is home to one of the most diverse marine ecosystems in the world, and is fringed by spectacular coastal scenery, including sandy beaches, rocky cliffs, rolling hills and steep mountains.
Nearby is the Elkhorn Slough, one of the last coastal wetlands in California and is one of only 17 estuarine reserves in the US. The Elkhorn Slough is a dramatic backdrop for wildlife year-round-- home to otters, seals, sea lions, and an infinite variety of birds. No better way to explore this amazing ecosystem than on an SUP!
You have chosen to visit one of the most diverse, exciting, and beautiful surfing settings in the world. California, otherwise known as the Golden state, is a land of breath-taking surfing extremes. Consider the California SUP trip as a 'must SUP' on your travel list, it offers such quality both in the water and on land. The Santa Cruz Mountains and Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary regions are known for their scenic beauty and unblemished landscapes and in this socially-conscious area, it's not surprising to find many restaurants who implement cutting-edge practices like offering diners more diverse menu selections including sustainable seafood choices, vegan dishes and carbohydrate counts.
