Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE GEAR

A range of classic longboards

Boards available to book online span from 7'2" to 10'2"; shorter boards can be obtained on a walk-in basis, giving you options whether you prefer a roomy longboard for cruisy days or a shorter, punchier shape if you arrive in person.

THE LOGISTICS

Convenient delivery and pickup

Weekly rentals meeting the minimum ($75 or more) qualify for free delivery and pickup to Hatteras Island addresses in villages such as Rodanthe, Waves, Avon, Buxton, Frisco, and Hatteras—making a week with a board a low-hassle proposition if you’re staying on the island.

THE LEGACY

Seven days steeped in surf history

A week-long rental gives you time to explore the island’s breaks and connect with the roots of wave riding—the same culture that spawned skateboarding, windsurfing, and kitesurfing—without the rush of hourly or single-day rentals.

What the day feels like

What a week with a board feels like

You pick a board for a full seven days, either reserving a weekly rental online from the 7'2"–10'2" options or walking in if you prefer a shorter board; if your weekly rental meets the operator’s threshold, the board can be delivered and picked up at Hatteras Island addresses, letting you spend your days chasing swells rather than schlepping gear.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits—and who should plan differently.

1
Families and multi-age groupsGood fit—advertised as 'all ages', the weekly rental model lets families keep gear through a full vacation week rather than juggling daily returns.
2
Weekend-only visitorsLess ideal—reservations are only available for weekly rentals, so short weekend trips can’t reserve a board in advance and may need to rely on walk-in shorter-board availability.
3
Long-stay vacationersWell suited—weekly reservations and free delivery/pickup (when the rental meets the $75 threshold) make this a low-friction option for multi-day surf-focused stays on Hatteras Island.
4
Walk-in, last-minute surfersAlso served—shorter boards are available on a walk-in basis, but online reservations are limited to weekly rentals so plan accordingly if you need a specific board size.
