Spend a string of days on Santa Cruz’s shoreline without juggling transport or storage: select your check‑in date as the rental start, have boards delivered within a morning or afternoon window, and leave pickup to the operator on your departure morning. The arrangement turns a week by the sea into a low‑friction rhythm of surf, sandcastles and rest.

THE GEAR

Wax Included, Delivery Available

Your board arrives ready to ride—wax is included and delivery service removes the need to transport equipment yourself. Choose a delivery window and the operator will drop the boards at your accommodation.

THE SCHEDULE

Simple Start and Finish

Treat your check‑in date as the rental start and you won’t be charged for your check‑out day; pickup happens the departure morning beginning at 8:00 AM.

THE DELIVERY

Clear Delivery Windows and Confirmation

Deliveries arrive within set windows—9AM–12PM or 12PM–4PM—and you’ll receive a text confirmation when the drop is completed. You don’t have to be present for either delivery or pickup.

What the day feels like

What Five Days of Rental Feels Like

The service reduces logistics to two timestamps: a delivery window on your arrival day and a pickup on your departure morning. Between those moments the coast is yours—boards ready, waxed and waiting—so you can lean into sun, surf and downtime without ferrying gear or rearranging plans.

Suitability

Who it's for

2
Couples or Small GroupsWell suited for short stays where you want gear available across multiple beach days without managing returns mid‑trip.
3
First‑Time SurfersHelpful for newcomers who prefer ready‑to‑use equipment—wax is included and delivery removes one more barrier to getting in the water.
4
Road‑Trippers Passing ThroughUseful when you’re staying overnight and don’t want to carry boards between destinations—delivery and morning pickup simplify logistics.
