Surfboard rental in Waikiki: where to go and what to check

Gone Surfing Hawaii runs Surfboard & Paddleboard Rentals, and Star Beachboys runs SUP Board Rentals. Both list Waikiki Beach as the meeting location.

What should you know before you book surfboard rental in Waikiki?

Start with the board type you want, because the two Waikiki names point to different boards.

Plan how you will get to Waikiki Beach before you go, so you arrive at the meeting spot on time.

How much does it cost, and what is included?

The SUP Rental from North Shore Surf Girls costs from $40.

What should you expect: how long it lasts and where it starts?

Gentle wave washing up onto a sandy beach under blue sky

Build your morning around that start point.

If you want a timed example, Blue Planet Adventure Company's Paddle Rentals runs 2 hours from a Haleiwa meeting point. That is a different start from Waikiki, so plan your day around it.

Who does it suit, and who should skip it?

Aerial view of a crowd of surfers on boards over a shallow reef

Blue Planet Adventure Company's Surf and Beach Rentals has a minimum age of 8 years. That age applies to that tour, so check the age rule for each Waikiki rental before you bring children.

Star Beachboys suits you if a stand-up board is what you want. Gone Surfing Hawaii suits you if a surfboard is the goal.

What are the tours to book?

Star Beachboys' SUP Board Rentals is based in Waikiki and meets at Waikiki Beach. If a stand-up board is what you want, it is the rental that fits.
