Step straight into the waves with our full range of surf hire equipment in Newquay. From surfboards to paddleboards and kayaks, all our kit is high-quality, maintained regularly, and ready for any ocean adventure. Whether it’s your first session or you’re returning for a familiar challenge, we make sure you have the perfect gear to enjoy the water.
Together, these options provide everything you need to enjoy the water your way, with high-quality equipment maintained to professional standards.
The hire centre is centrally located in Newquay, just minutes from Towan and Fistral beaches, two of the town’s most popular surfing spots. Pay-and-display parking nearby makes picking up and returning equipment simple, while the surrounding area offers cafés, shops, and coastal views to enhance your visit.
Newquay’s coastline provides a mix of sandy beaches and sheltered coves, ideal for all levels of water sports. The town has a welcoming surf community, making it easy for first-timers and returning participants alike to enjoy their time on the water.
No prior experience is required to hire equipment. Our staff are on hand to advise on the correct boards, paddles, or buoyancy aids, ensuring you can enjoy the water safely.
Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. All participants should have a reasonable level of comfort in the water and be able to follow instructions.
The centre is run by a knowledgeable team passionate about Newquay’s coastline and watersports. We maintain the largest selection of surf hire equipment in the area and ensure every item is in top condition, from beginner foamies to advanced boards and safety gear.
With facilities including heated changing rooms, hot showers, and secure storage, we make preparing for and finishing your session easy and comfortable. Staff provide expert advice on kit selection, safety, and local conditions, giving you confidence and enjoyment on the water.
No, you don’t need any prior experience to hire from us. Many people try surfing, paddleboarding, or kayaking for the first time here in Newquay, and our team can guide you towards the best equipment for your needs. For example, if it’s your first time in the surf, we’ll recommend a foamie board, which is stable, safe, and much easier to learn on.
If you are more experienced, we’ll help match you to equipment that suits your ability, such as a hard surfboard or a performance bodyboard. We also offer advice on the best local spots for your activity, so you get the most out of your hire even if you’re completely new to the area.
You can hire equipment for just a couple of hours, for a full day, or for multiple days if you’d like to keep exploring. Short-term hires are great if you only want to try something new for a quick session or test different boards before committing to a longer rental.
Multi-day hires are a popular choice for visitors staying in Newquay, as you can pick up your gear once and keep it with you. This flexibility means you can plan your surf or paddle sessions around the tides and weather, without worrying about rushing back to return equipment straight away.
The great thing about Newquay is that it has multiple beaches facing different directions, so even if one spot isn’t working, another often will be. Our staff can recommend the best location for the day depending on the conditions, so you don’t waste time searching.
If the weather makes it unsafe to go out, we’ll let you know straight away and help you rearrange your hire or switch to a different activity. Safety is always our priority, and we’ll make sure you’re set up with the best options available for the conditions.

Everyone was so friendly. My crew leader Alex was really supportive and encouraging as I am not an avid swimmer and so easing my way into kayaking and coasteering was a breeze. The team back at their headquarters were amazing ... keeping my baggage safe as I toured and even…
We had a really good time with Heath today. He showed us all the safety information and kept checking we were all okay. Instead of just staying out snorkelling he showed us some caves and told us about the history and cool knowledge about the caves and rocks. Had a…
