The Little Buddy: hand-shaped longboard by a Pacific Northwest shaper.

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.

Urban Surf asks renters to treat the gear as their own and includes standard check-in procedures to inspect boards before and after use.

3m Ozone Flux V2 — responsive winging for playful lines.

The 3m Ozone Flux V2 is chosen for riders who prize quick handling and the ability to turn on a dime.

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.
