http://www.goldcoastsurfboards.com.au/Gold_Coast_Student_Exchange.html If you are coming to Australia’s Gold Coast to study abroad, you must go surfing. Don’t worry about any equipment, we’ll set you up with everything you need when you get here.

Recently the team an Bond Uni Surfing and Social Association came to us as they needed 20 surfboards for an event they were putting on down at Miami Beach on the Gold Coast. We got the surfboards to them, they had an awesome day. This video gives some footage of what went on.

Today is one of the 3 days in the year that I go and spend a day at Bond University, offering my special semester long surfboard rental deal to travelling students.  Basically what we do is offer traveling students who are studying on the Gold Coast for the semester, the opportunity to rent a board for their entire stay, at a drastically reduced price.

What we have found, is many students come over here and have found it difficult to find a cost effective method of getting a surfboard.  So what they do is go and buy a new or second hand board, costing them between $300 and $1000.  And let me point out, the competition to get a second hand board is tough.  There are 1000 other students just like you trying to grab the dozen or so second hand boards that are available.  Then, at the end of semester, like the other 1000 students, they try and sell the board back to the shop or at cash converters.  Because there are so many students doing the same thing, you would be lucky to get $50 back.  Its a terrible situation, one which many surfshops up here exploit as far as they can and one which we do not think is fair at all.

So what we are happy to do, is offer an alternative.  We visit Bond University every semester at Club Sign on Day and offer our surfboards to rent, for less than the cost of a second hand surfboard purchase.  This we believe, gives our travelling students the best opportunity to have a surfboard for the entire semester, without busting their budget.

Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention, with these deals we also deliver our boards to you for free and pick them up for free at the end of the semester.  This completely takes the hassle out of finding the board you need.  So don’t go shopping, just contact us and reserve the surfboard you want for your semester.  You will not find an easier and cheaper method of gearing up for the surf  on the Gold Coast, anywhere.  This we guarantee.
