BIGGEST RANGE OF HIRE EQUIPMENT

CUSTOMER DRIVEN...

Twenty Five years of hiring Surfboards and Wetsuits from our shop in Croyde has seen us set the bar higher every year. We learn't pretty early on that good quality Wetsuits and a wide and varied range of Surfboards would have customers returning again and again.

C-SKINS WETSUITS

Our current wetsuits are made especially for us by C-Skins. These have proved so popular that we now keep these in stock for sale. We offer a full range of sizes for Men, Lady's and Kid's. We also hire Boots, Gloves and Hats.

BEGINNERS SOFT SURFBOARDS

Available in five sizes.. 6 ft, 7ft, 7ft6in, 8ft and 9ft. We use the Blue Bottomed Alder Stormrider Soft Surfboard. These are the expensive ones with the Polyethlyne cores.

INTERMEDIATE HARD BOARDS

SKIMBOARDS

ROOF RACKS (SOFT RAX)

We prefer Bulldog Soft Rax, they are well designed, versatile and tough. If your hiring Boards and Suits from us we will even lend you some Bulldog Soft Rax Free of Charge. We'll even show you how the work and fit them to the car for you!

DELIVERY OR PICK UP?

We can deliver pre-booked Hire Gear to your holiday accommodation within a reasonable distance of Croyde but we much prefer customers to collect from the shop. This is because we have fully trained staff and literally hundreds of wetsuits to choose from. This means getting the best fit possible and consequently maximum warmth and comfort. We can discuss your ability level and suggest different boards you might like to try.

We can also give you safety and beach advice, we can even show you surf forecasts and various current beach conditions using Surf Cams on our in-house Multi-Media System. It's not that we mind coming to you, we actually like an excuse to get out of the shop for a while! We can however do our job far better, if you come to us in the shop!
