Hydrus Demo Center Partnership
You run rentals, lessons or tours. We build boards people fall for the first time they stand up. Get your fleet at demo center pricing, let people try them, and earn 10% when they buy one. Take it as cash, or put it toward new boards and gear.
Who it’s for
The best way to sell a board is to let someone stand on it. You put people on great boards, they have a better day on your water, and some of them want one of their own.
Great fit
Rental shops. Lake, river or coastal rentals.
Lessons and clinics. SUP instruction, learn-to-paddle classes, yoga on the water.
Outfitters and guides. River trips, guided paddles, summer camps.
Studios on the water. Fitness and wellness sessions on paddleboards.
Not a fit
Stores without water. If nobody can try the boards, this program doesn’t do its job.
Online resellers. We sell direct, so we don’t work with resellers or marketplaces.
One-off events. This works best for businesses on the water all season.
Not sure if you fit? Text us and ask. If you put people on the water, the answer is probably yes.
Three simple steps
Apply through UpPromote or text us. We’ll talk about your water, your customers and which boards make sense.
Start with at least three boards at demo center pricing. Add or replace boards anytime at the same pricing.
Give your customers your code. They order from us, save 10%, and we ship straight to them. You earn 10% of the sale. No inventory to carry.
The deal
On every order placed with your code. Take the cash, or use it to keep your fleet fresh with new boards and gear at demo center pricing.
For your customers when they order with your code.
Warranty on manufacturing defects for every board in your rental fleet.
Your fleet pricing is set so your boards earn their keep and you can grow the fleet over time.
Most demo centers send buyers to us with their code. If someone wants a board on the spot, you can sell them one.
Pricing depends on the boards and how many. Text us and we’ll put real numbers together for you.
Keep it simple
Two simple things.
Rentals, lessons, tours, clinics. That’s what makes it a demo center: people get to try the boards before they buy.
Customer orders go through your code. They save, you earn, and pricing stays fair for everyone.
That’s it. No sales quotas, no yearly minimums, and other brands are fine.
Nonprofits + community programs
The program works the same way for you: demo center pricing on your fleet, a 2-year rental warranty, and 10% when people from your programs buy a board.
Adaptive paddling, veteran programs, youth water access, conservation groups. If you put people on the water, we want to talk.
Apply through UpPromote with 'Nonprofit:' in front of your organization name, then text us a quick note about your mission.
Frequent partnership questions
A partnership for businesses that put people on the water. You run Hydrus boards in your fleet at demo center pricing. When your customers order a board from us with your code, they save 10% and you earn 10%.
Three boards to start. We’ll help you pick the right mix for your water and your customers. After that, add or replace boards anytime at demo center pricing.
Yes. Rentals, lessons, clinics, tours and on-water fitness all count. The program works because people get to try the boards before they buy.
10% of every order placed with your code or link, paid monthly through UpPromote. Your customers save 10%.
Take it as cash, or put it toward new boards and Hydrus gear at your demo center price. Keep your fleet fresh, add boards for busy weekends, or try new gear.
Two years on manufacturing defects for every board in your rental fleet. Defects show up early, usually in the first season, so two years covers the real risk.
Our Limited Lifetime Warranty is written for boards one owner paddles and doesn’t cover commercial use, so demo centers get this coverage instead. Impact damage and normal wear from rentals aren’t covered.
Yes. Plenty of rental shops run more than one brand. You can rent and sell other boards alongside your Hydrus fleet.
Yes. Most demo centers send buyers to us with their code, so there’s no inventory to carry. If someone wants a board on the spot, you can sell them one. Just send regular customer orders through your code rather than your demo center pricing.
Yes, if you choose. Sell your used fleet when the season ends and restock with new boards at demo center pricing. Your commission can go toward those too.
No. We sell direct. Demo Centers are the one way we partner with businesses, because people trying the boards on the water is what sells them.
Apply through UpPromote or text us at (208) 408-1997 with a note about your business and your water. We read every application and usually talk by phone or text before approving.
