Surfing Hire At Westward Ho!

Surf hire from the surf and kite shop in the middle of the village

As a shop we are all about mid to high end products, our surf hire is no different. You won't find cheap wetsuits and poor quality foam boards here!

When you hire from us you get O'Neill or Mystic quality wetsuits that are thick and warm. All our wetsuits are washed with sterilizing fluid after every use and dried inside first, then outside. We want you to have a magical experience with your surf hire, not scare you off with cold, damp, smelly wetsuits.

We have a choice of surf boards, we hire out Circle One SSR soft boards, Swell sorf boards or Torq soft and hard boards. With a choice you get the best board for your surfing level.

Surfing hire charges from kitemare-surf and kite shop in westward ho! village

We have a lot of surf hire kit here, but, if you are travelling with a big group and need to ensure hire equipment, we do allow you to book your surf hire.

Just give the shop a call on (01237) 238350 and let us know what boards, suits and wetsuit boots you require. We will reserve them, take a 20% deposit that is refunded in the event of no surf as Mother nature does like to put a spanner in the works sometimes, but not if you just don't turn up. We are always here for advise on conditions and tidal state to help you plan your surf time efficiently.

Booking is not essential, just pop in the shop and we can sort you out with equipment, 10 minutes later, you are in the ocean....Perfect.

Surfing at Westward Ho! on Torq hire boards

We always put safety first as want you to love surfing and become a returning customer. If the conditions are right, surfing is a magical experience, if wrong, it's plain hard work or even dangerous.

We do not let our equipment out if the conditions are wrong, this would normally be-

If its too windy- 30 to 40mph+ depending on wind direction.

Tide too high- If the tide is too high the waves break right onto the pebbles, if the tide height is less than 3.6m we hire all day, if larger we stop hire over the high water.
