In Miami, Queensland, Malibus — classic longboards built for cruising — are offered for hire to intermediate and experienced surfers who want to glide point breaks or work small beach-break waves. The hire quiver changes regularly, and riders are encouraged to request preferred size, shape and volume so the operator can advise what’s available.

THE BOARD

A rotating quiver of longboards

The operator maintains a regularly changing longboard quiver; you can request a preferred size, shape and volume and they will advise which Malibus are available for your hire.

THE WAVES

Cruising point breaks or working small beach breaks

These Malibus are suited to cruising point breaks and to riding small beach-break waves — the board style is matched to those conditions and to intermediate-to-experienced surfers.

THE HIRE

Flexible short- and multi-day hire

Hire is available across a range of durations so you can take a single-day test or keep a Malibu for up to two weeks; the quiver and availability are managed by the operator.
