Where is a good place to rent a surfboard on Maui?

There's a small surf shop at the north end of downtown Lahaina (on Front St) that rents boards and soft surf racks.  Good selection, not too pricey, and the dude that owns the shop is pretty laid back.

Any break in the surf line that has water running through it is a pretty safe bet.Jetties,marsh grass,any structure can be good.Also,watch for gulls feeding,they make their living finding fish.As I fish from a kayak,I generally do one of the above,because the ocean is a big place.

5150, Limited, Sims, Lamar, Morrow are all good, lower-priced boards for beginners. \n\nHowever... have you boarded before? If not, I'd suggest you rent and try a few different boards while you find your personal preferences (likes/dislikes) and your riding style (freeboard, freestyle, etc.). While it might require extra funds in the early going, renting will help save you money in the long term, such as making the mistake of buying a board you wont like in terms of style, graphics, etc.\n\nGood luck... see ya on the slopes!\n\n:)

The North Shore of Oahu is just waking up and has some of the best surf in the world. If you are talking mainland USA, places in northern California will start getting some good north pacific swells. Try Santa Cruz's Steamer Lane for a good but crowded break.

Hi. Funny you should ask! I live on the Outer Banks myself and had the same problem when I was looking for a place. It's tough to find something good that doesn't cost over a grand a month here. Currently the best place to look is in a newspaper called "The Coastland Times". There's also the "OB Sentinal" but it won't have as much. You can also visit http://www.insiders.com/outerbanks/main-rentals3.htm#Heading12 for a listing of realty companies to rent long term rentals from. Good luck!

Huntington Beach in Bay Village, Ohio is a good one.  It's on the West Side.

I live in California.  Where else can you go surfing in the morning and that same night?  You can even throw in a stop at Disneyland in between!

I wouldn't recommend buying a surfboard online.  For instance, there could be pressure dings and cracks that the picture doesn't pick up, and shipping can also be somewhat of at b*tch.  If you live in or near Encinitas or Solana Beach then you might check out the Surfride shops on the 101 Coast Highway.  There's one just north of Encinitas on the 101 North past Encinitas Blvd. and one just south of Pipes in Solana Beach  They both have excellent selections, or you could ask around, but I still recommend against buying online.

Apart from rent.com, you can try craigslist.org or kijiji.com

I think Kalmus beach in Hyannis, MA is the best but not for beginners becuase it is very crowded. You can also check out West Dennis Beach up the road.

Kite Beach at Kahana Beach Park (west Maui). It is only a few minutes from Kahului Airport and no more than 45 minutes from the resort towns of Lahaina and Wailea. Kite Beach is one of the world’s best venues for kiteboarding and experiences more windy days than any other kiteboarding destination in the world. This is due to the valley between the West Maui Mountains (5788’) and Haleakala (10023’), which creates a venturi effect and funnels wind across kite beach. \n\nKite beach offers a variety of conditions to suit different riding levels. The NE tradewinds make Kite Beach a safe venue for beginners because the side onshore winds always bring the novices safely back to shore. Also, the sandy-bottom cove where beginners practice lies inside a protective reef. This reef keeps the ocean flat, which adds to the ease of learning. A little farther from shore the waves start to break at the reef, creating a great venue for intermediate and advanced kiteboarders.

That is great that there is a rad surf shop in Michigan but why would you ever need to buy a surfboard if you lived all the way up there?  I would imagine that the other water sports items are better sellers.  In other words though, I have never been there.  Plenty of great shops down here in Charleston, SC though.

I did a trip to Tofino last winter and it was amazing.  People told me there was unreal skimboarding in the greater Vancouver area, but not too much surfing.  There is surf north of the island as well.  Probably completely uncrowded, and not highly explored, but it should have great fetch.  If you're in that area, it's definately worth exploring.
