Question posted by Bill Darbie to alt.surfing, July 2001,
and by Todd of RI earlier in the year:
"I will be on vacation on the Outer Banks of North
Carolina this August. Does anyone have any suggestions for where
I can rent a surf board for a week for a good price?"
Thanks,
Bill Darbie

My family was visiting for a week in the Outer Banks during early
August 2001. We were going to stop in and visit the local surf shops
so I collected the board rental information listed below. Note:
prices are subject to change and availability -- always call ahead and
cross your fingers when you arrive.

Three-day rental, 4th day free, 1/2 rate each add'l day
Wider selection of board types: BZ and other softboard types;

The Surf Techs looked to be very
decent boards (esp. for rentals), better than expected. See what
