The Surf Library

The Surf Library is a community based surfboard lending library out of Santa Cruz, California. With a cafe, yoga classes, surf movies, and talks by local shapers, surfers, and members of the ocean community, The Surf Library is much more than just a board shop.

The basic idea is that people who become members can "Check Out" any board, handplane, or other ocean gear we have, use it for a day, then bring it back and swap it out for a new one. You could surf double overheard Ocean Beach on a Gun in the morning, then come by and grab a Fish to surf Pleasure Point in the afternoon, and then a Long Board to teach your friend at Cowells for the evening session. All the same day, every day of the year.
