Fins, Leashes and Roof Racks — The Essentials
The rental offering focuses tightly on the hardware that gets you on the water or on the road: a range of wetsuit fins, replacement leashes and roof racks and straps, so you can rig a board or replace a worn tether without hunting the island for parts.
Reserve What You Can, Walk In for the Rest
If a particular item isn’t visible in your booking, the school sets aside inventory for walk‑in customers on a first‑come, first‑served basis — a practical arrangement for spontaneous surf days or last‑minute needs.
Central Pickup and Return
All pickups and returns are handled from the shop on Campbell Street in Tofino, making the exchange straightforward for surfers arriving by foot, van or car.

Whether you need a leash change before paddling out or roof straps to strap a board to your vehicle, the rental is designed to take care of those practical gaps so you can focus on the ocean.
