Soft-tops, funboards and shortboards by the hour, day or week — right on Tamarindo Beach. Quality boards, fair prices, and honest advice on what to ride today. Took a lesson with us? Your rentals come at a discount.
We keep boards that match how most people actually surf Tamarindo — stable, fun and forgiving. Here's what we rent and who each one is for.
Stable, easy to paddle, and soft when they hit you — which they will. The safest, most forgiving way to keep practicing after a lesson.
The natural next step once you're catching waves. Longer and more stable than a shortboard, but easier to turn than a longboard. The board that grows with you.
Know what you're doing and just didn't bring your board? Tell us what you ride and we'll set you up — or point you to the right shop if we don't have your exact shape.
Here's the advantage of renting from a surf school instead of a counter: we actually teach this, so we'll put you on the right board — not the most expensive one.
Students who take a lesson with us get [X]% off board rentals for the rest of their trip. Learn the basics properly, then keep practicing on your own — on a board we've already matched to you, at a lower rate. It's the cheapest way to actually learn to surf this trip, instead of renting a board, struggling alone, and giving up by day two.
See Surf Lessons →Plenty of places in Tamarindo rent boards. Here's why renting from us is easy.
Pick up, paddle out, and drop off where you surfed — no hauling a board across town.
Rent for the day and take it overnight, so you're in the water for the best morning waves.
We'll tell you the right spot and tide for your level, free with every rental.
The same boards we trust for our lessons — maintained, waxed and ready.
Renting from us is quick. Here's exactly how it works, so there are no surprises.
Message us on WhatsApp to hold a board, or just come by — we're on the beach.
We set up your board with leash and wax, and check you've got the right size.
A deposit or photo of your ID while you have the board — returned when you bring it back.
Keep it overnight for the morning, or by the week for the best rate.
Normal wear is on us; major dings are the renter's responsibility. We'll explain at pickup.
Rentals start at $X per day, with lower rates the longer you rent. A leash and wax are included, and lesson students get [X]% off for the rest of their trip. Prices in Tamarindo generally range from about $10 to $25 a day depending on the board and shop.
A soft-top longboard — every time. They're stable, easy to paddle and soft when you fall, which makes them the safest, most forgiving board to learn and practice on. We'll size it to you when you pick up.
Right on Tamarindo Beach from us — we're a surf school, so you pick up your board, paddle out, and drop it off at the same spot you surfed. No hauling a board across town. Message us on WhatsApp to reserve ahead, or just come find us.
Yes — rent by the day and you can keep the board overnight at no extra charge. It's the move we recommend: the calmest, cleanest waves are often early morning, so having the board ready at dawn means you beat the crowds.
We ask for a small deposit or a photo of your ID while you have the board, returned when you bring it back in good shape. Quick and standard — we'd rather keep it simple so you can get in the water fast.
Yes — we keep smaller soft-tops that are ideal and safe for kids. Tell us their age and size and we'll set them up with the right board. Soft-tops are the safest option since there's no hard fiberglass to bump into.
Not at all — anyone can rent. But if you've never surfed, one lesson first will save you a frustrating day of paddling, and you'll get a discount on rentals afterward. That lesson-then-rent combo is the fastest, cheapest way to actually enjoy surfing on your trip.
A soft-top is a stable, foam-topped board best for beginners and kids. A funboard is a step up — still stable but easier to turn — ideal once you can stand up. A shortboard is for experienced surfers. We'll talk to you for a minute and point you to whichever fits your level, not the priciest one.
Definitely — weekly rentals are the best value, since the per-day rate drops the longer you keep the board. If you're in Tamarindo for a week and plan to surf most days, a weekly rental works out much cheaper than day by day. Tell us your dates for the weekly rate.
For beginners and improvers, yes — the main beach break has a sandy bottom, warm water and gentle inside waves. That said, conditions and tides change daily, so when you rent from us we'll tell you the right spot and time for your level that day — free with your board.
We're right on the beach with boards waxed and ready. Message us on WhatsApp to reserve one, or just come find us.
