Why Rent a Surfboard in Jacó?
Bringing a surfboard on an international trip can mean oversized luggage, airline fees and the risk of damaging your own board. Renting locally lets you arrive in Costa Rica, choose a board and spend your time surfing instead of dealing with board travel.
A local rental is also useful when you want to try a different type of board during your trip. You might ride a performance shortboard one day and switch to a longboard or fish when the conditions change.
Help Us Find the Best Board for You
When you contact us, sending a little information can help us recommend the best available board.
Tell us: your height, approximate weight, experience level, what board you normally surf and how many days you need the rental.
If you already know exactly what you’re looking for, send us the approximate length and board style and we’ll check availability.
