What is the procedure for hiring?

You can collect hire from our Portrush Main Street Store all year. Our Beach Hire Department, on East Strand at the Water Sports Centre, is available only during peak Summer months. Pop into the Troggs Surf Shop on the day, we do not facilitate pre-bookings, our service is first-come-first-serve. We have a lot of equipment available so you shouldn't be stuck. You will be required to leave a deposit (see below) on the days that you wish to rent and you will also be asked to fill out a form providing key contact details. 

What can I leave as a deposit?

We require photo ID to be left with us in store, which is kept securely while the equipment is out on hire. This is to ensure the safe return of all rentals and prevent theft. 

What are your hire departments opening hours? 

Our rental department opens at 10am every morning. Best to get in early so that you have the entire day to use the equipment. We request the equipment is returned by 5.30pm latest on the drop off date agreed. Late return of rental equipment will incur a minimum penalty fee of one extra day’s rental.

Do you rent everyday?

We rent on most days unless the conditions are unsafe. We will advise which beach in Portrush or the surrounding area will be best to surf on that day.

What is the procedure for Multiple Day Rental? 

If you would like to hire for more than one day, please get in contact to organise this with us. Payment is upfront and we will need a deposit (see below) to be left for the duration of the equipment hire. It is up to you to store the equipment in a safe environment overnight. We ask that equipment is securely locked and stored overnight. Any loss or damage will incur a fee.

What kind of equipment do you rent?

We rent everything from learner foam boards, beginner hard boards, and shortboards. Our wetsuits are Alder 5/3mm winter suits. To rent a softboard it is advised that you have already taken a beginner surf lesson and that you know the basic fundamentals of surfing (Book Now at https://troggssurfschool.co.uk). To rent a hardboard, you must have proficient knowledge of how to surf and show that you understand swells, wind, rips, tides etc.

What if equipment is damaged?

Damage to equipment will also incur an additional fee to cover repair costs or replacement, so please make sure you look after the equipment and return in the same state you hired it in.
