VESL is a Stand Up Paddle Board and accessories line that is based in the middle of the SoCal surf mecca along the Orange County coast. It’s safe to say we’ve seen our fair share of water sports around these salty parts. Growing up on the coast we developed a love for the open water. If it’s a love we share then you know the peace and tranquility it offers. Once it takes hold it never lets go.
Our company’s conception began many years ago when the waves were, yet again flat, and our spirits dampened, and we sought out to find an alternative water sport that could keep us equally active, engaged and balanced like surfing.  Stand Up Paddle Boarding hand’t quite caught on in our area. There weren’t any local shops carrying Stand Up Paddle Boards or SUP accesories and we really had to dig to find out more. Once we got set up and started paddle boarding the excitement grew and the love affair began. We were stoked that we found a water sport that wasn’t restricted to any variables! We couldn’t get enough and as the obsession grew our family run business was born! It happened Stand Up Paddle Boarding was always an option. The versatility was incredibly enticing! We could surf out in the line-up or we could paddle in our local harbor. We could cruise the bay with our family or we could paddle long distance out in the open ocean. We could strap our boards on top of our car and check out local lakes or rivers.The options felt limitless because they are with Stand Up Paddle Boarding!
