Rye Watersports

Windsurf, Dinghy and SUP hire

At Rye Watersports we hire out equipment on an hourly basis.  We have a excellent range of  Starboard and Fanatic windsurf boards and North and Tushingham rigs suitable for beginners through to more advanced windsurfers.  

New for 2012 – Stand Up Paddle Board School on our lake at Rye Watersports.   Lessons and hire on Fanatic and Starboard paddleboards.  Paddlesurfing lessons on the sea at Camber Sands will also be on offer.

There are many advantages to hiring  as opposed to buying, especially just after your first lesson.  It’s better to wait so you buy equipment that will still be suitable when your skills have improved.

Our selection of kit means you can try out different sizes and types of boards then, when you do get round to buying, you know exactly what you want.

Many people just don’t have the storage space for a board, or a car suitable for having a windsurfer on the roof, but with our informal hire system it means you can still get out on the water on a regular basis.  There is no need to book in advance, but if you want to reserve a specific board and rig we’re happy to do this for you.

You can live in, or near, London but within an hour and a half you could be out on the water windsurfing or kitesurfing under supervised hire. Because of the road networks it’s an easy part of the South East Coast to get to via the M.25 and then A.21 or down the M.20.

Hire is on an hourly basis with a reduction in price if you hire for three hours.

Our fleet of boats are also for hire, but these do need to be booked in advance.

There is no launch fee to pay when you hire windsurfers or dinghies from us.
