Faru Gear Hire Boards, snorkel sets and suits, by the day or by the half day
Thulusdhoo, Kaafu

Gear by the day, or for one window

Nine boards, five paddleboards, twenty snorkel sets and eight suits, every one of them counted. If this site says it is free, it is on the shelf with your name on it.

The rack

Pick your dates and your gear

By the day, or a four hour window at two thirds of the price. Pay at the shop when you collect.

What comes with the hire

Wax and a leg rope

With every board, never an extra line on the bill.

Dings are ours

A ding from surfing is what a hire board is for. Patched the same day in the yard.

Fitted at the counter

Board by height and weight, mask by the five second test. Free either way.

Dropped at your guesthouse

Before seven in the morning if you ask, and collected before six. No charge.

People who hired from us

What they said

I asked for a six foot board and Hussain refused and handed me a soft top. He was right and I caught more waves in an hour than in the three days before.

M Marco T Italy

Booked two snorkel sets online the night before from a guesthouse, collected at seven, and nobody had to talk to anybody. Exactly what I wanted.

K Klara W Czechia

Left the paddleboard pump on the beach. They charged me for it, showed me the invoice, and it was less than I expected. Fair is fair.

Before you book

Asked at the counter every day

Is the gear really free on the dates the site shows

Yes. Every board, set and suit is counted in the system and a request takes it off the shelf immediately rather than when somebody reads the message.

That is why it sometimes says no. A shop that never says no is a shop that is guessing.

What is a half day window exactly

Four hours, either seven until eleven or one until five. You take the gear at the start and bring it back by the end.

It costs about two thirds of a full day. More than half an hour late is charged as a full day, because somebody has that board booked after you.

Do I pay on this website

No. You pay at the shop when you collect, in cash or by transfer. Nothing about payment happens here.

How much is the deposit

Two thousand on a surfboard or paddleboard, five hundred on a shorty suit, and nothing at all on a snorkel set or a pair of fins.

Cash, a transfer, or a passport copy with a signed note. We would rather have the copy.

What if I damage a board

A ding from surfing is ours to fix and we do not charge for it. That is what a hire board's life is.

A board that comes back snapped, or with a fin box torn out, or that does not come back at all, is charged at what it would cost us to replace it, and we will show you the invoice.

Can you keep gear for me for a whole week

Yes, and a week or more brings the daily price down. Book the full run of dates in one go rather than day by day, so the system holds the board for all of them.

We can also swap you onto a different board midway if the first one is wrong for you, at no charge.

Reserve it tonight, collect at seven

Nothing is paid on this website and the gear comes off the shelf straight away.
