Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, we recommend it. Rentals run at set times at Sumner Beach and booking online guarantees we’re there with the right gear for you. Walk-ins are welcome when we’re on the beach but booking ahead means no waiting around.

 

I’m a complete beginner. Will I get the right board?

Absolutely. When you book just let us know your experience level and we’ll set you up with the right softboard for the conditions. If you want proper coaching rather than just the gear, check out our 2 Hour Surf Lesson instead.

 

Can I hire gear for the whole family?

Yes. We carry boards and wetsuits across all sizes from kids through to adults so the whole crew can get out together. Let us know numbers and ages when you book and we’ll have everything sorted.

 

Do your offer long term hire?

Yes. If you’re spending the season at Sumner or just want to surf regularly without the cost of buying gear, our monthly and three month rates are genuinely good value. Get in touch to discuss what works for you.

What our renters say

Great gear, great day

Grabbed a board and wetsuit on a whim after walking past on a sunny Saturday. Couldn't believe how easy it was to get sorted and in the water. The board was perfect for my level and I ended up out there for three hours. Will definitely be back next weekend.

I've been wanting to try surfing for years and finally just booked a rental and went for it. The team were brilliant about helping a complete beginner choose the right board and I was up and riding by the end of the session. Should have done it years ago.

We're a family of four and everyone got exactly the right board for their ability. My 8 year old was on a softboard catching whitewash within twenty minutes and my husband and I were on mini mals further out. The team knew exactly what to give us without us having to ask twice.

Monthly rental was the best decision I made this summer. Same premium gear every session, no hassle, and the rates are genuinely good value compared to owning your own stuff.
