Croyde Surf Hire

Here are the key reasons it makes sense to pick up your surf rentals from Saunton Surf Hire on the way to Croyde:

1. Easy Access and Parking

• Saunton has a large, well‑organised car park right next to the hire shop.
• This makes collecting boards and wetsuits far easier than navigating Croyde’s tighter village roads and limited parking.
• 20 minutes free parking so you can pick up your gear without car parking charges – drive in, pick up your gear and go.

2. No Pressure to Rush

• Croyde’s beach car park can fill up fast, especially in summer.
• Picking up gear at Saunton lets you avoid queues and time pressure, so you can head into Croyde relaxed and ready to surf.

3. High‑Quality, Well‑Maintained Equipment

• Saunton Surf Hire is known for excellent kit: beginner‑friendly softboards, performance boards, quality wetsuits, and accessories.
• Their equipment tends to be newer and better maintained than many small village rental spots.

4. Ideal for Mixed Beaches

• Many people staying in or visiting Croyde also surf Saunton for its gentler, more forgiving waves.
• Picking up at Saunton gives you the flexibility to surf both beaches without returning gear or driving back and forth.

5. Streamlined Pick-Up and Drop-Off

• The shop is positioned so you can swing in and out smoothly on your way through Braunton toward Croyde.
• Returning gear is just as simple at the end of the day or trip.

6. More Space to Try Equipment

• Want to check board sizes, test a wetsuit fit, or grab extra wax?
• Saunton offers more space and less crowding, making the rental process more comfortable.

7. Friendly, Experienced Staff

• The team is known for being helpful and knowledgeable, offering advice tailored to the conditions at both Saunton and Croyde.
