Should I Buy Or Rent A Jet Surfboard?

Once you start developing an interest in a new sport, several different thoughts cross your mind. Where to get the right equipment from? Will the investment in the equipment be a worthwhile decision in the long run? What even is the equipment that I require? Should I buy this or that or maybe nothing? But let us tell you, it is not something that only you face. The confusion is a part of the process, and the same is the case when you step your feet into the world of jet surfing.

The most basic of the decisions is whether to buy a jet surfboard or to rent one. According to our experience, we always recommend to rent one at the beginning and try it out to see whether you actually enjoy it as much as you imagine enjoying it. If you do, perhaps you can move forward and take the plunge to invest in one for yourself. However, we also advise a fair share of research on your part before buying one so that the jet surfboard provides value for the money over the years.

Jet Surfboard Rentals

Perhaps the easiest way to test out a surfboard for yourself is to run it. There are several jet surfboard rentals spread all over the world that cater to all your requirements. Your requirements might include your budget, your engine preference, and your desired category. For engine preference, you have the option between:

  • electric powered, or
  • petrol powered.

Similarly, for the category section, you have several different options, which include, but are not limited to:

  • sup,
  • hydrofoil,
  • fast boards, or
  • pleasure boards.

Most of the rentals also have instructors available that give you basic training before you are handed over a jet surfboard. This is for your own safety, as although it is considered a fun sport, it is sophisticated too, and potentially dangerous, if not done correctly.

Moreover, a significant chunk of rentals, like Top Jet Surfing, provide you with all the necessary equipment for rent, including a helmet with a walkie-talkie, a life jacket, and wetsuits. This frees you from the hassle of carrying all the equipment with you every time you go out jet surfing.

Apart from the usual jet surfboard rentals, there are jet surfboard academies scattered all over the world too, where you can enroll yourself. After the enrollment, you have weekly or monthly classes, depending upon the academies' schedule, where they teach you everything related to jet surfing. Moreover, they have a variety of boards, safety gear, trainers, and riding courses, so you can move up a level every time you clear a level. You receive valuable knowledge and tips from experienced jet surfers, and you learn from their experiences, something which is not taught in the books! We would always suggest you take up a few introductory courses until you are familiar with the basics of jet surfing. Once you are, you can always rent out a jet surfboard from the rental to try it out, or you can invest in your own personal one.
