Hassle-Free Hire, Right on the Beach

Renting with Soundwave is simple. Pop in on the day, or call ahead to reserve your gear. We’ll help you pick the right board and wetsuit size, offer a few local tips, and get you in the water fast. Rentals are for two hours, with the option to extend if equipment is available.

Please note: rentals are recommended for those with prior surf experience. If it’s your first time, we suggest booking a beginner surf lesson instead for safety and confidence.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Got questions before you rent? We’ve put together the key details to make hiring your surf gear simple. From deposits and wetsuit sizing to rental times and beginner safety, here’s everything you need to know before you grab your board and head for the waves.

What deposit do I need to leave?

We require a copy of your photo ID, which we’ll hold until your equipment is returned. Once gear is safely back, your details are securely deleted.

Do I need to know my wetsuit size?

No – we’ll measure and fit you when you arrive.

I’ve never surfed before – can I still rent a board?

For safety reasons, we only rent to those with prior surf experience or who have taken a surf lesson. Beginners should start with a lesson before renting equipment.

How long is the rental period?

Standard rental is two hours. If gear is available, you may extend for an additional fee.

Had a terrific time last weekend. Graham had everything we needed and was extremely pleasant to deal with!

Matthew L

Terrific company, that goes out of its way to help you. Sent Soundwave a message during its off season and Graham was more than happy to rent me a suit and boots for a great price. 100% recommend! Will be coming back!

What an experience! We love a sauna on the beach but this one has topped them all. The guys have put so much work into building this from secondhand materials, found from the island. The Rust Box has a huge window overlooking Keel beach and it’s so much fun watching people go by and marvel at it.

Great experience with Graham, he was willing to come down to achill in the off season just to rent us some boards. All the gear was in really good condition, highly recommend

We are very grateful to Graham for the warm welcome. He is a professional and a very kind person. It's the first time we've tried surfing and we're thrilled. We highly recommend Graham and Soundwave Surf School. We will come back and not once
