What a Rental Day Feels Like
You begin at the Surf Sister Surf Shack to kit up—suit on, board strapped to the roof rack—and then head to the beach chosen for the day’s conditions and your skill. The 24-hour rental window gives time for a morning session and an afternoon return visit, while lessons are available beforehand for those who need basic safety and technique before taking gear into the surf.
