THE GEAR

Foam Surfboards: Ready for Any Level

Foam (soft-top) boards are offered in 7ft, 8ft or 9ft lengths and come with a leash and a rashguard or wetsuit top if needed, making them the go-to rental for learners and anyone chasing low-stakes fun in the surf.

THE TECH

Fiberglass & Specialty Boards for Intermediates

Fiberglass and specialty surfboards are available in 7ft, 8ft or 9ft, but require intermediate-level ability to rent; these give more performance than soft-tops while still including leash and optional rashguard or wetsuit top.

THE ALTERNATIVE

Paddleboards for a Different Line on the Water

Stand-up paddleboards in the same 7–9ft range are offered with a leash and optional rashguard or wetsuit top, providing a stable platform for riders who prefer paddling to traditional surfing.

What the day feels like

What Two Hours on Queens Water Feels Like

Two hours with Surfs Up NY is a tight, purposeful block: grab a correctly sized 7–9ft board, suit up with the provided rashguard or wetsuit top if needed, and spend an intense session chasing waves or paddling along calmer stretches — the package is tuned for short, repeatable outings.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Beginners & First-TimersWell suited when choosing a foam (soft-top) board: soft-tops and the included leash and rashguard/wetsuit top make these rentals accessible and forgiving for learners.
2
Intermediate SurfersA good match: intermediate riders can step up to fiberglass or specialty boards, which are available but require you meet the operator’s intermediate-level requirement.
3
Stand-Up PaddleboardersIdeal for paddlers who want a short, focused outing; paddleboards are offered in 7–9ft lengths with leash and optional rashguard/wetsuit top.
4
Time-Crunched AdventurersPerfect for people who want a concise, two-hour on-water session to sharpen skills or get a quick outdoor fix.
