Straight into the surf
A board and a leash, and the ocean right in front of you. The simplest way to spend an afternoon in the waves, and the one the children ask about again the next morning.
What you are getting
A board and a leash. That is the whole kit, and that is rather the point. Collect it at 1110 S Ocean Blvd and walk straight onto the sand.

Before you go
Three things, and this is the least complicated rental we offer. No experience, no test, no briefing at the dock.
-
Sign the waiver
One per person, and you can do it ahead of time. Do it online and check-in takes a minute.
-
Pick your board
We will hand you one sized for you and show you the leash. If you have children with you, tell us and we will fit them properly.
-
Walk into the water
The surf is right there. Paddle out past the shore break, wait for your wave, and let it carry you in.
No boater test, and nothing to sign beyond the waiver. Florida’s rental boater test only applies to motorised craft. A boogie board needs a waiver per person and nothing else. Swim within your limits and check the flags before you head in.
What it costs
Club member and non member rates, per board. Rates are per board rather than per person.
1 hour
- Club member
- $5
- Non member
- $10
Plenty for a first go, and enough to find out whether you want to keep at it.
Book 1 hourAll day
- Club member
- $20
- Non member
- $40
Come and go as you like through the day. The one people take when they plan to be on the sand until the light goes.
Book all dayRates are per board, not per person. Children are welcome, and this is usually the first board a child gets onto. Membership pays for itself after a couple of days.
Good to know
The bits that are not obvious from the price, in plain language.
This one is for the surf
Boogie boards want waves. Unlike our kayaks and paddleboards, which stay on the sheltered Intracoastal, this is the open beach, so the conditions matter more.
Swim within your limits
There is no lifeguard briefing with this rental. If you are not a confident swimmer, or the surf is up, ask us before you head in and we will tell you straight.
Weather permitting
If conditions turn, we may need to call it off. Beach rentals carry no rain check and no refund, so ask us anything before you pay.
Walk up, or book ahead
No reservation required, but in season the boards go early. If you have a day in mind, book it and skip the wait.
Boogie board questions
Do I need a licence or a boater test?
No. Florida’s rental boater test only covers motorised craft. A boogie board needs a waiver per person and nothing else, as set out on licenses and waivers.
Where do I use it?
In the surf, right off Pompano Beach where you collect it. This is an ocean rental rather than an Intracoastal one, so it is the rental that depends most on the day’s conditions.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, and it is usually the first board a child gets onto. We will fit them properly, and a parent or guardian signs the waiver for anyone under 18.
I have never done it. Is that a problem?
Not remotely. Paddle out, wait for a wave, hold the board and let it take you. Most people are riding within an afternoon, and falling off is half the point.
What should I bring?
Swimwear, sunscreen and a towel. The board and leash come with the rental. Leave valuables on the sand rather than taking them into the water.
What happens if the weather turns?
Beach rentals are weather permitting and carry no rain check or refund. If the surf looks heavy, call 954-973-7000 before you set off and we will tell you straight.
What are your hours?
Summer hours are 8:00am - 6:00pm and winter hours are 9:00am - 5:00pm. Beach rentals are walk up, so there is no reservation to keep.
