6'8" Boss Up I-Bolic
Here's your chance to ride one of the most sought-after boards in surfing – the 6'8" Boss Up I-Bolic from $XX. This premium midlength comes from the legendary collaboration between shaper Dan Mann, Kelly Slater, and Kevin Schulz at Slater Designs.

It's designed to cruise across weak wave faces and grind through cavernous overhead tubes. Whether you're on smaller days or when the surf cranks, the Boss Up I-Bolic adapts effortlessly. This is truly a one-board quiver – the kind of stick you would travel with if you could only bring one board with you. The design philosophy is brilliant: ride it with roughly +13 liters more volume than your standard shortboard and set it up as a quad using the KS1 5 Fin Template. This configuration gives you the paddle power and stability of a midlength with the performance edge you need when conditions get serious. Your rental runs 1-7 days with meeting point details provided upon booking, so you can really dial in the board's sweet spots across different sessions.

5'7" Seaside Helium
Rob Machado's 5'7" Seaside Helium represents the next evolution of his beloved Go Fish design. What started as Machado's quest for the perfect stick at his home break became a high-performance surfboard that maintains all the playfulness of its predecessor while delivering enhanced carving capabilities and tighter turns. The Seaside's design tells a story of calculated refinement. As Machado explains, "The Go Fish goes fast and feels skatey and loose and I love it, and riding it for a couple years made me want to feel more high performance - more carves, tighter turns. So the Seaside is about refining… less area in the tail, narrowing the tips of the swallow, creating more curve and narrowing the nose. All elements for ripping while the Go Fish stays cruisey and fun." Named after Seaside, his local break, this board quickly earned its reputation as "the perfect little stick" for versatile wave conditions. What sets this 5'7" Seaside Helium apart is Machado's commitment to quad-only design. "I decided that if i was going to make a quad I would make a quad that's strictly a quad … Design the concaves and bottom contours around that. I actually redesigned my entire concave setup that I've been using on the Moonbeam and Go Fish, and did it with the quad setup in mind so that it all works together." The Helium construction technology makes all the difference for everyday surfers. As Machado notes, "The first one I made for Tahiti was LFT and I was riding it in 6 foot tubes. But most everyone surfs a shape like the Seaside at beach breaks and little point breaks, so we made it in Helium because it's really light, very responsive, really flexy with a softer feel and very durable. It's the best option for a shape like the Seaside in smaller, weaker waves, I think." Available everyday from 10am to 6pm. Full refunds or credits available with 24 hours notice of cancellation, and full refunds or credits in case of cancellation due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. No-shows will be charged the full price.

This isn't just another rental – it's your chance to ride one of the most thoughtfully engineered surfboards in modern surf design, available daily from 10am to 6pm. Machado evolved his popular Go Fish design into something truly special with the Seaside. He narrowed the tail area, refined those swallow tail tips, and added more curve while slimming down the nose. The result? A quad-only setup that delivers more carves and tighter turns without losing that skatey, loose feel surfers love. The concave was completely redesigned specifically for the quad fin configuration, so every element works in perfect harmony.

6'1" Seaside Helium
Explore Rob Machado's latest masterpiece – the 6'1" Seaside Helium surfboard experience (daily 10am-6pm). This isn't just another tweaked version of his Go Fish; it's a complete reimagining that takes everything surfers loved about that cruisey classic and transforms it into a precision carving machine. Machado got serious about quad-fin performance when he designed this board. The narrower tail, refined swallow tail tips, and increased curve give you tighter turns and enhanced carving power that the original Go Fish never had. But here's where it gets interesting – he scrapped the entire bottom contour system from his Moonbeam and Go Fish designs to create something built exclusively around quad-fin dynamics. The 6'1" Seaside Helium features completely redesigned concaves that work as a cohesive package with the quad setup. Named after Machado's home break at Seaside, this board represents years of testing and refinement. He wanted the perfect stick for his local spot, and what he created works magic on beach breaks and smaller point breaks everywhere. The Helium construction is where this board really shines for most surfers. Unlike the heavy-duty LFT version built for Tahitian barrels, the Helium build targets smaller, weaker waves – the kind you'll actually surf most of the time. You get exceptional lightness and responsiveness with that softer flex feel, but the durability still impresses. Full refunds or credits available with 24-hour notice, plus weather-related cancellations are covered. Contact by phone if plans change, though no-shows get charged full price. This 6'1" Seaside Helium represents the cutting edge of Machado's board craftsmanship, available daily for surfers ready to experience his latest innovation. From $149
