At Shore Surf School, we make it easy to get in the water. Whether you’re a first-time surfer, a family on holiday, or just travelling light, our surf hire service gives you everything you need to make the most of St Ives Bay’s incredible waves.
Hire Quality Gear from Our Beach Locations
We’ve got two convenient surf hire bases — right here on the beach at St Ives Bay Beach Resort and Godrevy. No long walks, no lugging heavy boards — just hire what you need and hit the waves.
Our surf hire range includes:
• Surfboards for all levels — from soft-tops for beginners to performance boards for improvers.
• Wetsuits in all sizes, designed for warmth and flexibility.
• Bodyboards and bellyboards for family fun days.
All our equipment is top-quality C-Skins gear, maintained daily and perfectly suited to Cornish conditions.
