Shops range from retail stores focused on board sales and gear tune-ups to dedicated surf schools offering private and group lessons. Finding the right spot depends on whether you need beginner-friendly soft-top rentals, advanced custom shaping, or guided stand-up paddle tours. A map pin shows location, but it will not tell you if a shop provides wetsuit rentals, certified instructors, or local tide guidance.

Good to know
What is usually included with a surfboard rental?
Most shops include the surfboard, leash, and a block of wax with standard daily or hourly rentals. Wetsuits or rash guards are sometimes included, but some locations charge a small extra fee for neoprene gear depending on the water temperature.
Do I need prior experience to book a group surf lesson?
No, beginner group lessons are designed for first-time surfers and typically cover land-based safety, popping up, and basic ocean awareness before getting into the water. Instructors stay in waist-deep water to assist students with catching soft-top waves.
How much do surf lessons and board rentals typically cost?
Daily board rentals often range from $25 to $50 depending on the board type, while group lessons typically cost between $75 and $150 per person for a two-hour session. Private lessons or specialized SUP tours generally cost more.
