Epoxy Surfboard Rental
Kahaluu Bay Surf and Sea rents epoxy surfboards from its shop in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island. The shop carries a wide selection of epoxy surfboards in varying lengths, giving renters options across the full range of board sizes available. Multiple rental period options are available, from a short outing to a longer multi-day arrangement, so plans of different lengths can be accommodated. Pick-up and return both happen at the surf shop during posted business hours. Renters who book for multiple days can also swap boards during the course of the rental if they want to try a different size. Longer rentals include free roof racks that fit any vehicle, making it simpler to transport a board to the water. At pick-up, renters sign a liability release waiver and provide a valid credit card for a damage deposit. The operator may cancel or reschedule any booking without charge if conditions in the surf zone become unsafe, and bookings affected that way are rescheduled at no cost to the renter.
