THE RANGE

Boards for Every Body

A broad lineup covers beginners through experts: soft tops for the very young, Bic boards spanning roughly 5'10" to 10' for general rental, and select LibTech and Lost boards for advanced surfers seeking performance.

THE BASICS

Hassle-Free Essentials Included

Rentals come complete with a leash and soft roof racks to secure boards during transport—components intended to reduce friction between the shop and the surf.

THE PACE

Short Windows, Big Sessions

Two compact rental blocks let you slot a surf session into a single morning or an afternoon: a four-hour option for quick sessions and an eight-hour option for a fuller day out on the water.

What the day feels like

What the Rental Feels Like

The experience is straightforward: select a board appropriate to age and skill—soft top for small children or a stable Bic for progressing riders, or opt for a LibTech/Lost if you want a performance platform—collect the gear (leash and any included wetsuit), secure the board with the provided soft roof racks, and head to the water for a focused surf within your chosen four- or eight-hour window.
