Gut, aber kein Parkplatz, Surfbretter rutschig
Alles hat geklappt, wir könnten aber nicht auf dem Parkplatz für längere Zeit parken und die Bretter waren Recht rutschig

Surf fun
Quick and easy to pick up suits and boards. A range of sizes and boards to suit all abilities. They researched tides and where the surf was best for the day which was super helpful being a novice. We damaged a fin being useless beginners and they were really sympathetic with the small fee they charged to replace it. I will be renting suits and boards before we leave CC at the weekend.

Dissatisfying experience
We rented two very nice surfboards and two mediocre wetsuits (a bit worn out, and two women’s suits instead of men’s+womens’s). The gear only was a 4* experience. However, the store does not have a procedure to block and release deposits on a credit card. The owner will ask you to leave your complete credit card information including the CVV number, allowing or anyone that gets a hold of these documents to perform arbitrary transactions on your account. This is a discouraged procedure (if interested, search for 'cvv in physical stores’). The alternative is to have a deposit of $500 per board charged on your credit card and refunded later. The problem compared to the standard procedure of blocking and releasing the money, at least for foreigners, is, that banks use different exchange rates for charging and refunding. For us the result was a $19 surcharge on a $70 NZD. In case you intend to question this procedure, be prepared to have to talk to the owner instead of the very friendly regular staff. Unfortunately, our experience was not that of factual but rather emotionally driven and at times disrespectful discussion.

Der Laden ist schön und die Verkäufer waren sehr freundlich. Leider waren unsere Surfboards alle super rutschig und eine Mischung aus wachs und sand klebte überall... Mein Neoprenanzug war leider auch nix mehr, zudem echt zu groß.. aber die Anzüge der anderen waren gut.
