As the sun shines more and spring approaches, we all get to thinking about our sunny summer days. If you have out-of-town friends and relatives that want to live it up for a day at the beach, go with them to rent booties, wetsuits, and boards for the day.

With Oregon surfboard rentals, you’ll be able to take your time, especially if you rent for a 24-hour period. That way, you can get in and out as many times as you want to rest, eat, warm-up, whatever. It’s also nice to hang out in your wetsuit when the north wind is nuking. The price is nice for a 24-hour rental, and if your guests want to do something different on a day at the beach, they’ll love it.

Make their day really special with a picnic lunch on the beach, random toys to entertain with (frisbees, volleyball, etc.) and end it with hot dogs and beers around the fire. But make sure they don’t leave one shred of litter on the beach!

After graduating from college last spring, I spent the summer lounging by the beach and mentally preparing myself for the “real world.” While much of each day was spend loafing around and sipping drinks, I also made a personal commitment to learn how to surf. Since I was a newbie, I searched around for used surfboards to save some of my much needed graduation cash.

Although I didn’t take any formal lessons, some of the locals were nice enough to give me some pointers. By the end of the summer I was no where near adept on the board, but I could adequately ride mid-sized waves. While I probably won’t get to put my surfing skills to use anytime soon, it was nice to at least do one thing that was somewhat productive over the summer.

Care of your surfboard is a vital responsibility. Maintaining the proper wax coats, keeping up with ding repair, and storing it in a sock or bag, are some things you can do to ensure a long life for your board and a higher resale value.

Another easy way to keep your board looking and riding good is to store it on the wall on a wall rack. Keeping it on the wall and out of the way will prevent dings from accidental bumps and falls. Del Sol sells racks with foam padding that will prevent scratches to the finish. Wall racks are also a great way to display board art or a board you just want to show off.

If you’re looking to buy a new surfboard, a good idea is to take advantage of the demo board option at your local surf shop. Most shops offer certain demo boards for a 24-hour period for around $30. These boards aren’t used, they’re new, only taken out for a day at a time for the express purpose of offering an experience on one brand or another.

You can usually try up to 3 demo boards, then put the cost you’ve paid (up to $90 or so) towards the price of a new surfboard, which you’ll hopefully be happy with since you have tested it out already. It’s a good way to try different styles and brands of boards, and to see which is right for you. Keep in mind that boards ride differently depending on where you’re surfing, the conditions that day, your weight and stature, and your experience level.

The latest models offered by Al Merrick of Channel Islands surfboards are the products of years of collaboration between Merrick and pro surfers such as Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, and Dane Reynolds. Slater helped design The Wizard Sleeve, The Whip, and The Tangent, Machado created The Gravy, The Machado Model, and The Robber, and Reynolds came up with The Dumpster Diver. It stands to reason, then, that these new models are made for intermediate to expert surfers.

Other highlights from this series of new models are The Rookie, designed with the Gudauskas’ in mind, and The Fort Knox for Taylor Knox. The Even Keel is a Joe Curren exclusive, The Double Helix is an improved Flyer, The Big Willy (for Willy Morris) is a high-performance gun, and The MBM+ helped Nathaniel Curran win the US Open.

Should you buy a used surfboard? If you’re in the market for a new board and aren’t sure whether to go with a new or a used surfboard, here’s a pros and cons list to help you with your decision.

NEW SURFBOARDS:

Pros: They’re NEW, it’s exactly what you want, custom-made even, lasts longer

Cons: Very expensive, not recycling, waste of money if you don’t like it

USED SURFBOARDS:

Pros: Much cheaper, recycling, helping out a fellow surfer, good for beginners, try out different shape w/o buying new

Cons: Been used (up?), harder to find the right fit, might need to be repaired, might not last as long

There’s a reason Rusty surfboards are some of the best-selling and most-ridden boards in the world. Rusty Preisendorfer has been shaping boards since 1969. He helped to pioneer the use of epoxy as a mainstream material and continues to experiment with new materials as he shapes for the pros and the everyman.

Rusty boards come in every shape, size, dimension, and model you can imagine. Think of what you want in your next board and chances are Rusty has the board you’ve had in mind. Check out your local shop or the Rusty website next time you’re looking for a new ride.
