wherecan I rent windsurfing equipment?
For various reasons, while the sport in the Southeast is strong, shops have had a tough time making money selling, and even, moreso, renting equipment. Most sailors have their own and used equipment is cheap enough to make the rental market limited. Also, since waterfront property inland is at a premium, shops can’t locate on the water like they do in coastal locations. Club member Chuck Hardin of Whitecap Windsurfing does rent equipment in Augusta, GA which is about 2-2.5 hrs from Atlanta. At present I don’t know of any rentals on the Atlantic between Daytona Beach (Sandy Point Progressive Sports) and Hatteras. On the Gulf, there is Tackleshack in Tampa. At present, I don’t know of anyone renting on the Panhandle, AL or MS. Let me know if you know of other shops that do rent.
