What kind of equipment do you rent?
We rent everything from learner foam boards, beginner hard boards, epoxy beginner boards, epoxy shortboards & fibreglass shortboards. Our wetsuits are 5/3mm Billabong and C-Skins.
What is meant by 1 day rental?
Our prices are for a whole day's use so whether you're surfing for 1 hour or 8 the price is the same.
Do you rent everyday?
We rent on most days unless the conditions are unsafe. We will always advise which beach in Portrush or the surrounding area will be best to surf on that day.
What is the procedure for hiring?
Pop into the Troggs Surf Shop on the day or use the online rental reserve system. 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.
What time can I drop into the shop to rent or pickup my reserved equipment?
Our Troggs rentals department opens at 10am every morning. Best to get in early so that you have the entire day to use the equipment.
What kind of equipment can I rent?
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. To rent a hardboard, you must have proficient knowledge of how to surf and show that you understand swells, wind, rips, tides etc.
