SURF LESSONS & RENTALS (riu)

Sal has some of the most spectacular surf spots in the world, with waves to match. Beginner to Advanced this island has something for everyone.

For those wanting to learn the sport there are beginner surf spots along the bay in which the Surf Zone is located. However, on certain days these same spots are home to waves challenging for even experienced surfers.

Sal is also home to Punta Preta, know for its world class waves that will wow even the most experienced of surfers. But it does not stop there; the island has a number of other spots where surfers, beginners to advanced, can enjoy good waves. All you need is a pick-up and a board.

Surf Zone offers both Surf Board Rentals as well as Surf Lessons.

Rentals: Our rentals range from hourly to weekly. All our boards come with leashes and are cleaned and waxed. At the Zone we sell lycra’s in the event that you forget yours. However, wax is precious on the island, so if you are going to need a lot, bring a bar with you.

For longer term rentals, you are free to take the board with you to your accommodation, or you can store it at the centre.

Our Boards range from custom Angulo and Salt Rock boards to NSP boards. Sizes range from 6’4 to 10’2

The majority of our surf boards are stored at the Santa Maria location. However, you can pre book a board and have it waiting at the Riu upon your arrival. If at any point you would like to change your board size, you are welcome to come to the Santa Maria location and change boards. The boards are stored at this location, as the two main waves spots in the area are located in the Bay of Santa Maria.
