About This Adventure
Experience the thrill of surfing with our rental equipment, perfect for those who have taken a few lessons and are eager to catch waves independently. Enjoy two hours of adventure on a foam longboard and stay comfortable in a full-length wetsuit as you embrace the ocean's excitement.
About
Since we do not have a physical shop, we do need advance notice from you to reserve the equipment. A rental is ideal for someone who has taken a few lessons and just wants to get out there and try their hand at catching waves and standing up on their own.
PLEASE NOTE: We discourage renting a board if you've never taken a lesson before as you will become frustrated with yourself and surfing, and you may harm yourself or others in the water.
