We need a new term because the moment you google SUP, Standup or anything resembling that you end up with a shitload of places that will rent you touring SUPs. And now there is iSUPs taking up space. I want to paddle a lot of different surf SUPs under a variety of conditions but man is it difficult to find the places that rent performance surf SUPs. I do find them on occasion in tourist destinations throughout the world known for surfing but on the east coast it seems SUP renting is only for flat water touring. Anyone know of places in Florida or NC.
Epic Boardsports in Cocoa Beach had surf rentals the last time I was there, which just prior to Covid.
Ocean Air Sports in Avon, NC has some they rent (rented a Fanatic Stylemaster 115L in February)

Thank you!
I would think that shops that offer lessons, also rent.
There's a site/platform called Awayco that shops can use to operate their rental business. I found it when I rented boards from Infinity's Dana Point shop. Though they don't use it anymore.

Yes but it is usually flat water particularly when they are offering lessons. They want the highest volume boards out there.

searching "surf sup rentals" seems to work pretty well.
