Water Biking on the Bay with SpinOut Fitness

When I started I was scared, when I left I was smiling. My sister surprised me for my birthday with a 30-min ride. I had never before heard of the company, or any idea how to ride a water bike. I literally found out about our activity when we were standing in front of the bikes at the dock. I’m the kind of person who likes to do research before giving my seal of approval for certain activities. Especially when I have concerns about my safety. Because you go out into the open ocean, saying I was freaked out when I realized what we were about to do was an understatement. I was very afraid and nearly backed out. Thankfully, Damien the owner has the patience to deal with customers like me. Despite my many negatives thoughts and comments, he kindly and thoroughly explained every aspect of how to use the bike. He demonstrated how to safely get on and off the bike, how to steer, and communicate if we needed to return to the pier, etc. He also provided life jackets. Once on the water, it was great. I felt really safe and had a wonderful time. I laughed and joked more times than I can count, and had forgotten how afraid I had been previously. I highly recommend this to activity. It’s a wonderful experience that will help you step outside of your comfort zone.

You've got to do this! The owner Damien is a fantastic guide and instructor; he is exactly who you want to lead you. He is funny, smart, and makes sure everyone is having their best time. The day we went he was the sole instructor, they normally have two, but you would have never known if he hadn't said anything. Damien let us know this was the biggest group they've had to date, a sign of their growing popularity to be sure. My girlfriend and I will definitely be back!

This has to be one of the most rewarding experiences ever in San Francisco. As a resident and local of the Bay Area all my life, I have never done waterbiking until now! I have gone on ships and sails before but nothing beats having such a close experience to the water and the bridge as waterbiking. Our instructor/guide Damien was extremely friendly and super informative on the water bikes, he made our experience super fun and I have contemplated going back for a round 2 very soon because I found the whole excursion to be rewarding. It’s not physically intensive, so prepare yourself for a light workout but nothing you can’t manage casually. My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed it the whole time, we got to witness a few sea life such as a sea lions. If you’re considering doing it, I would suggest to book it ASAP because all the gimmicky and tourist-y excursions don’t allow for such a enjoyable experience as this @SpinOutFitness. Thank you again Damien!

The instructors were super warm and welcoming for our first time answering all of our questions. We got to ride underneath the bay bridge while also encountering curious sea life such as seals. It was a beautiful experience for locals or anyone just visiting. Definitely coming again to bring more people!

10 out of 10 experience!!! A fun way to get out and be intimate with the water! Holly was an amazing instructor, and brought great energy to our first experience. Will be back again!
