Equipment Hire Across All Our Locations

Equipment Hire Across All Our Locations
Whether you're staying at our surf accommodation or visiting any of our six Pembrokeshire beach locations, Outer Reef offers comprehensive equipment hire for all your water sport adventures. From surfboards and paddle boards to body boards, wetsuits, and kayaking equipment, we've got everything you need for an incredible day on the water. Foamies are the ideal boards for anyone learning to surf. With their extra volume and buoyant design, they make it easier to catch waves and stay balanced. Their soft construction also helps reduce the risk of bumps or knocks - perfect for beginners building confidence in the water. If you're just starting out, hiring a foam surfboard is a great way to enjoy a safer, more enjoyable first surf experience. For more experienced surfers, we also stock performance boards, while our paddle boarding and kayaking equipment is perfect for exploring Pembrokeshire's stunning coastline. All our equipment is professionally maintained and available for hire at competitive rates across Freshwater West, Manorbier, Newgale, Stackpole Quay, Tenby North Beach, and Saundersfoot - making it convenient no matter where you're based or which beach you want to explore.

Let us know what size hoody or dress size you wear  S M L XL XXl (Women’s 6 - 20).

Of course you can! If you only have a shortie or are unsure if it still fits you (don't worry it happens!), let us know what size you are anyway and we can bring you a suit just in case.

SUP: For ease, we recommend using one of ours. They are all top of the range O’shea, Jobe and Finla boards. 

Surf: If you have your own board you are more than welcome to use it but we do recommend one of our Foam boards as they really help when you are learning.

SUP: No, you don’t need shoes, bare feet grip very well to our boards. If your trip is from Stackpole Quay, we recommend bringing some shoes that you can leave in a bag at the Quay as there are a few stones to walk over to get to the water's edge. 

Surf: You may want to bring some shoes to walk over the pebbles at our surf beaches. These will be left on the beach while we are in the water so please dont bring your most treasured shoes! 

The beauty of watersports is that anyone can give them a go! We have taken people on the water from every walk of life imaginable. All we ask is that you can swim at least 25m unaided as this is for your safety.

Yes, in most cases you can absolutely still come along to our weekends. All of our instructors take ‘rescue bags’ out on the water with them so any medications can go into this bag for the duration of the activities. If you would like to discuss this with us further, please drop us an email and a member of the team will contact you.

We do ask that you can swim at least 25m unaided in order to join us on any one of our sessions.

We use various accommodation providers across the South Pembrokeshire area including Geo Domes at The Little Retreat, lovely country houses on the Stackpole Estate and hotel style seaside accommodation in Saundersfoot and Tenby. Most of our accommodation has self catering facilities. Please note, some accommodation will be shared.

Your accommodation will be well signposted with Outer Reef signage for your arrival and you can check in from 4pm. The following day your team of instructors for the week will meet you just outside your accommodation at 9am for a meet & greet.

We offer flexible catering to suit your preferences. Most accommodation providers have self-catering facilities for breakfasts. For lunches, bring packed lunches or purchase meals at our beach venues. Multi-day camps include a group dinner at a lovely local pub on Saturday evening - a highlight where everyone shares their surf stories!

Of course you can! The majority of women who come along on our weekends come solo. We want to connect you with like minded ladies who enjoy similar activities!

Pembrokeshire and the locations we use for our activities are quite remote. However we can offer advice and recommendations for local public transport options, just get in touch with us prior to your arrival. Once everyone has arrived for the weekend, we recommend car sharing as location venues can be busy.

All our water based activities are subject to weather and swell conditions. We want to make sure you have the best possible experience on the water with us so we will email you the week before your arrival with a rough schedule based on the forecast and will fill in any gaps at the meet & greet.

Don’t worry, we understand these things happen. 

If you cancel more than 3 weeks before your arrival date, we are able to give you a full refund.
