9'2" Lil Buddy — a hand-shaped longboard for smooth Puget Sound rides
The 9'2" Lil Buddy is a purpose-built longboard that favors smooth, confident rides. Hand-shaped by a local PNW shaper, the board’s slimmer volume and refined rails let experienced riders walk the nose while still offering predictable rail-to-rail response. For travelers based in Everett, this board is a strong choice for glassy mornings on protected Sound beaches or for coastal excursions when swell lines up.
Urban Surf includes fins, leash, bag and wax with the rental and allows a flexible pickup window (pickup as early as noon the day before, return by noon the day after). Renters must be 16 or older and should expect to strap longer boards to a vehicle if driving south to launch points. The Lil Buddy is ideal for those who want a cinematic longboard session without committing to ownership.

85L Starboard Above — compact foil board to get you above the water
The 85L Starboard Above is built to accelerate foiling progression without the commitment of buying gear. Its compact shape and volume distribution make it suitable for riders working to find consistent lift and trimming while learning foiling technique. Because it’s designed to mount a foil, the board requires a compatible foil and wing or paddle for full performance.
Urban Surf’s rental structure is designed for travelers: pickup the day before at noon and return the day after at noon, which gives a quiet session window for Everett-based visitors who want to drive to protected coves or sheltered Sound inlets. The Starboard Above is a strong choice for intermediate riders seeking a fun, responsive platform for short sessions and skill-building.

Slingshot WF-2 V2 4'4 — steady foil board for progression
The Slingshot WF-2 V2 4'4 is positioned as a dependable daily driver for riders intent on putting in laps. Its size and hull characteristics make it forgiving enough for repeated attempts at lift while remaining responsive once the foil is riding. For visitors staying in Everett, the board’s compact dimensions simplify transport and staging at local launch points.
Urban Surf asks renters to treat the gear as their own and includes standard check-in procedures to inspect boards before and after use. With the operator’s flexible pickup buffer, you can maximize water time and focus on incremental gains. This board is particularly well-suited to riders who want to progress through focused practice sessions without the overhead of bringing private gear.

3m Ozone Flux V2 — a nimble wing for quick turns
The 3m Ozone Flux V2 is chosen for riders who prize quick handling and the ability to turn on a dime. Wings like this translate well to sheltered Sound launches where gusts and chop require precise inputs. The Flux V2 includes wrist leash and handles and, when deflated, fits easily into most cars if you prefer to travel light from Everett to launch points.
Urban Surf’s note on wings: they can be packed deflated and will fit in virtually all vehicles, but contact the operator if you’d like it inflated before pickup. This wing is ideal for experienced riders who want to trade long-line speed for nimble, playful turns in tight coves and nearshore conditions.

Armstrong MA 890 — foil kit tuned for quick pivots
The Armstrong MA 890 comes as a foil kit that includes assembly and mounting hardware to get you on the water quickly. Its setup favors nimble handling, making it a good match for riders who want to make tight, responsive turns and enjoy playful sessions in protected waters around Everett.
Urban Surf notes that foil kits disassemble to fit in most cars, and renters can request pre-assembly or disassembly before pickup. The flexibility in pickup and return timing makes the Armstrong kit a practical option for travelers who want to maximize on-water time without transporting a full, assembled foil rig on every trip.

For Everett visitors who value minimal gear footprint and want to test parawinging without bulky luggage, this wing reduces logistics friction and opens early-morning or late-afternoon sessions.
Because the wing is so packable, it’s an excellent option for travelers combining a luxury stay in Everett with a desire to explore multiple launch points.
