Surfboard Rentals in the Buxton (Lighthouse) Area


Question posted by Bill Darbie to alt.surfing, July  2001, and by Todd of RI earlier in the year:

    "I will be on vacation on the Outer Banks of North Carolina this August.  Does anyone have any suggestions for where I can rent a surf board for a week for a good price?"

Thanks,

Bill Darbie


My family was visiting for a week in the Outer Banks during early August 2001.  We were going to stop in and visit the local surf shops so I collected the board rental information listed below.  Note:  prices are subject to change and availability -- always call ahead and cross your fingers when you arrive.

$17/day (24 hrs) funshapes; $21/day (24 hrs) longboards.
Three-day rental, 4th day free, 1/2 rate each add'l day
Wider selection of board types:  BZ and other softboard types; SurfTechs; Fox and some other regular glassed boards.

The Surf Techs looked to be very decent boards (esp. for rentals), better than expected.  See what alt.surfing has to say about Surf Techs here.
