Our Board Demo program is great for surfers who don't want to travel with surfboards or for anyone looking to try different shapes and sizes before buying their next board. We've got you covered with handcrafted boards made with surfing Santa Cruz in mind.
All board demos come with day-use access to the Surf Club!
FAQs
How does it work?
Board Demos work like this:
1. Choose from the drop-down menu your preferred board and date(s). Make sure to select the $100 refundable ding deposit and sign the digital waiver.
2. After you purchase, we'll have your name/appointment on file and your board will be ready for you on that day!
3. Go surf and be happy. Enjoy Club amenities and return your board by closing time!
FAQs
Can I show up and demo a board on the spot? Or, do I need to reserve ahead of time?
You can show up and if we have your desired board available, yes, you can demo a board on the spot! But, if you want a specific board to be available for your travel dates, it's best to reserve ahead of time.
Can I check out the board overnight or bring it back after sunset?
All boards are due back before the Surf Club closes (hours depend on season), but we do have an overnight option for an additional $20 per day, plus a $500 deposit. If you'd like this option, just let us know when you pick up your board and we'll make arrangements.
I'm going on a road trip... can I check out the board for a few days?
There are so many great surf spots around Santa Cruz and greater Central Coast. Yes, you can check out a board for multiple days. Prices are $60/day + the $20 overnight fee= $80/day. Payment up-front is required along with a refundable trip deposit of $500. A fin, leash and fresh wax job will be included. Contact us for special pricing if you want to rent/demo a board for 3+ days.
What happens if I ding the board?
Dings happen, we know! Treat boards with care and if there is a smash-up in the water, we will assess the damage and charge you $40-$250 depending on the severity of damage. If a board is damaged beyond typical overuse, a $400 'big damages fee' may be charged to cover the extent of repairs. We do ask for a $100 ding deposit to be taken at time of check-out. If all looks good when the board is returned, you'll get that $100 back same day. Lost or damaged fin equals an $80 fee. If the board is totaled or damaged beyond repair you will be charged up to $500. If the board is lost or stolen, you will be charged $800.
