THE LOGISTICS

Free delivery available on qualifying weekly rentals

Free delivery and pickup apply to weekly rentals totaling $75 or more; delivery service is limited to Hatteras Island addresses (villages listed by the operator). Reservations and delivery terms are keyed to weekly rental blocks.

THE FINE PRINT

Damage insurance is limited and sold per surfboard

Damage insurance is available only for surfboard rentals; each board requires its own insurance purchase and coverage applies solely to damage to that surfboard, not to loss, theft, injury, or other equipment.

RENTAL TERMS

You’re responsible for gear; no weather refunds

All rental rates are calculated from the time the equipment is in the renter’s possession, whether in use or not. Rental equipment is the renter’s responsibility—damage or loss is charged at a fair repair or replacement price—and there are no weather‑related refunds.

What the day feels like

What it feels like to book and keep kayaks for two weeks

The offering is built around a two‑week possession model: you take the equipment and keep it for the rental period rather than booking day by day. That structure simplifies longer visits—one transaction covers your gear for the full stay—and couples with delivery options and optional surfboard damage insurance to reduce logistics for multi‑day vacations.
