RESERVING BOARDS
When you're ready to book your vacation, we'll ask for your skill level and board preference (see categories below). We guarantee you will have the use of a board in the category of your choice and usually the opportunity to sail boards in other categories. We book fewer people in each board category than current inventory to ensure there are plenty of boards for all pre-booked guests.

WAVE/FREESTYLE "SMALL"
All boards 100 liters and smaller. For accomplished intermediate through expert sailors in planing conditions. Examples: JP Australia Pro Wave, Real World Wave, Freestyle Wave and SuperSport , Starboard Evo and Kode.

FREERIDE "MEDIUM"
Larger freeride style boards 101-130 liters. For advanced, intermediates, heavier freeride sailors or lighter air planing. Examples: JP Australia X- Cite Ride and SuperSport , Starboard Kode and Futura.

TRANSITIONAL BOARDS "LARGE&"
131-170 liters. For those learning to waterstart, use the harness, and
get into the straps. Example: JP Australia X-Cite Ride and Starboard Futura.

LONG BOARDS "XL"
Over 180 liters. Full volume boards, perfect for practicing basic long board skills and light air cruising. Not as long as they used to be, but these newer wider versions do still have a daggerboard.

BEGINNER BOARD
