Our Reviews
Rented a surfboard for New Zealand. My board was brand new in new bag with new leash and wax. It was size and shape I requested. They offered pick up in Christchurch and drop off in Auckland which worked great for our camper van tour. Someone even met me at camper van return site to pick up the board. Much appreciated!
Water Nomads made my trip incredible - I had foiling gear waiting for me in Queenstown for over the holidays. The equipment was excellent and they connected me with the local community too. A+ experience.
I rented a Surf Board from Water Nomads in Auckland. They were very helpful at advising on where to surf and also had a guidebook and lockbox. It's hard to find a weekly rental on a high performance surfboard. This is a much better option than bringing gear on the plane. I highly recommend Water Nomads.
