Collection: Surfboard Rentals

Best Surfboard Rentals Isle of Palms, SC

The Isle of Palms is one of the best spots on the East Coast to catch some waves. Our surfboard rentals on the Isle of Palms allow you to hit the water without worrying about hauling gear or owning a board.

IOP’s easygoing swells, warm water, and quieter beaches make it a great place to surf without the usual crowds. Whether you’re just getting started or already know your way around a wave, this spot has plenty to offer.

Why Surf at Isle of Palms?

Looking for a spot where you can actually enjoy the waves—not just fight for them? Isle of Palms gives you easy access, stunning scenery, and plenty of space to paddle out without the usual crowd chaos.

Here’s what makes it a great spot to paddle out:

• Consistent waves. IOP has steady wave patterns all year (thanks to sandbars and local wind swells), so you won’t waste a trip on flat water.

• Warm water. From April to September, temperatures hover between 70°F and 85°F, meaning you can ditch the thick wetsuit and stay in the water longer.

• More space, less chaos. Even during peak season, you won’t be fighting for waves. There’s plenty of room to carve out your own surf session.

Fall (September to November) brings hurricane swells, creating more powerful waves for experienced surfers. Spring offers moderate, playful waves perfect for developing skills, while summer delivers gentle, rolling swells ideal for beginners. 

Winter warriors who brave the cooler temperatures are rewarded with bigger waves and virtually empty beaches—a true surfer's paradise.

Our Surfboard Rental Options

We’ve got a board for every kind of beach day, whether you’re looking to cruise on a longboard, skim across the shore, or catch some quick rides on a boogie board.

• Boogie boards. These 36-inch Storm Blade boards are all about instant fun. No lessons, no struggle—just grab one and start riding waves in minutes. Perfect for kids, families, or anyone wanting to jump in and play.

• Skimboards. Morey skimboards are built for speed and quick turns in shallow water. If you like fast-paced, athletic fun, these boards keep things exciting at the shoreline.

• Longboards. Our premium 8'0" and 9'0" Catch Surf and Storm Blade longboards make it easier to stand up and stay up. They’ve got plenty of volume, so catching waves is less work and more actual surfing.

Just want to dive into the fun? Grab a boogie board or skimboard for just $15 a day—no lessons, no hassle, just waves. Ready for the real surf experience? Our longboards are $45 per day, so you can ride all day without the price tag of owning one.

Want to keep the waves coming? Rent for multiple days and save. Walk-ins are always welcome, but if you’re visiting during peak season, booking ahead is best to ensure you get the board you want.
