What the day feels like

What the rental feels like

This rental turns a beach day into a collaborative project: you order the full kit, arrange timing, and either collect gear at the meeting point or have it delivered to your chosen spot, then your group designs, digs and finishes the sculptures themselves—learning technique from provided videos or applying existing skills.

How far in advance do I need to reserve?

Reservations require at least 24 hours' notice.

Where do I pick up the tools if I want to choose them in person?

You can come to the Suntide III condominiums at 3000 Gulf Blvd to choose equipment if that is possible for you.

Will the tools be brought to my spot on the beach?

The operator will deliver the full tool set to your location; the only item not delivered is the cart.

Is there a limit to how many people can use the rental?
