INTERMEDIATE SURFBOARD HIRE
Intermediate surfboard hire, your first step into “hard boards”.
Our Intermediate boards are designed to help take your surfing to the next level. Using a hard board is going to mean it’s more responsive, generate more speed, and help you start to initiate maneuvers.
When stepping away from a foam board, you should be looking to go for a Mini-mal (mid-length), generally between 7 – 8.5ft, depending on your height, weight, and paddle efficiency.
So when is it time to make the change? Here is our tick list to know if you are ready.
- Paddle out the back in mellower surf.
- Catch unbroken waves consistently.
- Pop-up efficiently, and stick it most times.
- Ride along the face of the wave, not just straight lining.
If you are unsure of what board to pick, or if you are ready, our team is always happy to chat and advise on what board would be best and what you need to focus on to continue your surf progression.
Hire options of 1-hour, full day, or multiple days. If you are renting overnight, you can either keep the equipment or leave it at the shop.
