School Holidays Gold Coast Surfboard Hire

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

School holidays are a great time to come to the Gold Coast. One thing we try ask parents is, do you really want to be running up to the shops every day to rent out a surfboard, so your children can ride and bring it back before the shop closes in the afternoon. Of course you don’t. A much easier solution is to hire a surfboard for your whole holiday. That way you only have to pay once, the surfboard is there when you need it, the kids can just take it to the beach whenever they want — which means no stress, no crazy daily surf shop rituals and happy children.

You can relax more as you get more time in your holiday when you are not running around hither thither, your kids can enjoy the surf more as they are not constrained by when the shops are open and you save money as long term hire is always cheaper than daily or hourly hire.

Gold Coast Student Exchange and Surfboard Hire

Friday, September 12th, 2008

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.

School Holidays and the Gold Coast

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Just a quick reminder, if you are coming to the Gold Coast during school holidays and want to rent a surfboard, try and book in advance, and get your booking in early.

School holidays are our busiest period and we hate to disappoint people by running out of boards.  Booking in advance will ensure you get the board you want, as by booking in advance, if we do not have “your” board in stock, we have the opportunity to go out and buy it just so it is available for you to hire.  If you leave it to the last minute though, often that opportunity is not available

This morning, the Gold Coast’s tabloid newspaper The Bulletin wrote an article about our business.  Its actually a really good summation of our idea and how we got started.  You can see the article here:
