What equipment can I hire from Aotearoa Surf?

We offer surfboard, paddleboard (SUP), kayak, and wetsuit hire for all ages and abilities. You can rent soft-top beginner boards, high-performance boards, longboards, bodyboards, and full-length wetsuits — everything you need for a great day in the water.

Where can I hire gear from?

All rentals are available from our Aotearoa Surf Shop & HQ, located at 11 Te Arai Point Road, Te Arai, or from our Surf Lodge in Mangawhai, 299 Molesworth Drive.
If we are operating at Omaha or Orewa, hire can also be arranged there by request.

Can I hire equipment if I’m a beginner?

Yes. We have the perfect boards for first-time surfers and beginners, and our team will help you choose the right size and shape for your ability. We’ll even give you a quick safety and setup briefing before you hit the water.

How long can I hire equipment for?

You can hire for 1 hour, half a day, a full day, or multiple days. Multi-day, weekly, or even monthly rates are available for longer stays or surf trips.

Do I need to book in advance?

Walk-ins are welcome at Te Arai, but we recommend booking ahead during weekends, holidays, and summer months to make sure your preferred board or wetsuit size is available.
Mangawhai Surf Lodge hire is available by online or phone bookings only.

What do I need to bring to hire equipment?

We recommend bringing swimwear, a towel, a water bottle, snacks if needed, and sunscreen.

Can I hire equipment for a group or event?

Yes. We hire to schools, corporate groups, and large parties. Discounts are available for bulk or multi-day rentals.
Contact us to discuss group rates at surf@aotearoasurf.co.nz or +64 9 431 5760.

Can I take hire gear to another beach?

Yes. You can take equipment to nearby beaches such as Te Arai, Forestry, Mangawhai, Omaha, or Orewa. Just handle the gear with care and ensure it’s returned in good condition and on time.

What if the weather is bad?

If surf or weather conditions are unsafe, we’ll happily reschedule, extend your hire period, or offer a credit or refund. Your safety and enjoyment are always our priority.

How do I hire surfboards or wetsuits?

You can visit us in-store at Aotearoa Surf HQ, 11 Te Arai Point Road, or pre-book online under Hire > Surf & SUP Hire.
