9'2" Lil Buddy — a hand-shaped longboard to ride with intention

1 to 3 day rental optionsPickup in Seattle
9'2" Lil Buddy longboard on sand
The Lil Buddy is a Takayama-inspired nose rider, hand-shaped by a PNW local.

The 9'2" Lil Buddy is presented as a compact, responsive longboard with a Takayama-inspired outline—thin rails, pulled-in square tail and a nose patch for walking. Hand-shaped and glassed by a Pacific Northwest shaper, the board is described as a versatile nose rider that balances stability with enough responsiveness to move rail-to-rail. Urban Surf supplies the board with fins, leash, bag and wax, so you arrive ready to surf without chasing accessories.

Practical rental details are straight forward: pickups may be made the day before at noon and returned the day after at noon, creating a half-day buffer on either side of your booked period. Riders must be 16 or older (minors require a signed waiver). Inspect the board at pickup and again at return to note condition; late returns may incur fees, and customers assume responsibility for damage repair. The operator’s meeting point is Urban Surf, 2100 North Northlake Way, Seattle, WA.

A compact Starboard board ideal for mounting foils and advancing your flight technique.

The 85L Starboard Above is offered as a compact, foil-ready board for riders who want to practice lift and maneuverability without bringing their own quiver. The operator frames the rental program as an easy way to try foil-specific gear: the board is ready for mounting, and renters should bring or pair it with a compatible foil and their chosen wing or SUP attachment. Urban Surf recommends treating rental gear as you would your own—returns are inspected and damage may be charged to the renter.

Logistics mirror the operator’s broader rental policy: pickups are available the day before at noon with returns by noon the following day, which effectively grants a half-day buffer before and after the booked period. Riders must be 16+ with waivers for those under 18, and cancellations with full refunds require at least 24 hours’ notice. Meeting is at Urban Surf’s Seattle address.

The operator’s tone emphasizes progression and care for the gear, reminding renters that they are responsible for damage and should follow the inspection process at pickup and return.

Administrative details follow the operator standard: pickup as early as noon the day before your rental and return by noon the day after; riders must be 16+ and minors need a parent or guardian waiver. The cancellation policy allows a full refund with at least 24 hours’ notice; otherwise the operator can reschedule. Meeting point: Urban Surf, 2100 North Northlake Way, Seattle.
