High-performance Zap fiberglass skimboards
Renters receive Zap fiberglass skimboards — boards designed for performance on shore breaks and shallow runups, offering durable, responsive equipment for the two-week rental period.
Works whether there’s surf or none
Skimboarding is effective both when waves are rolling and when the beach is flat; the activity is presented as equally valid on surf days and dry sand runups, making the rental useful for any stretch of weather.
Two-week windows with clear rental responsibilities
Rentals are charged for the full time the equipment is in your possession, with no weather-based refunds; damage or loss will incur charges for repair or replacement, and insurance is only offered for surfboard rentals (see policies).
