Big Wave Dave Surf Co: Say ‘Hello” to Waikiki Beach Rentals


Welcome to world-famous Waikiki–where the waves are wavin’ the breeze is breezin’ and you’re about to have the time of your life. But wait! What’s that you say? You didn’t pack all your beach gear and schlep it across the Pacific Ocean? Well, how irresponsible of you (we’re joking of course). For this very relatable situation, we’re happy to say that Big Wave Dave’s Surf Co. is here with all the Waikiki beach rentals you could possibly imagine.


What Waikiki Beach Rentals You’ll Be Needing





Surfboards Galore—Pick Your Wave Rider





Big Wave Dave isn’t messing around when it comes to surfboards. With a plethora of boards in the shop, this is like the Tinder of surf gear: swipe (or stroll) through soft tops, hard tops, longboards, and shortboards until you find the one.





Not sure where to start? The Big Wave Dave crew has serious matchmaking skills when it comes to Waikiki beach rentals. Whether you’re a total newbie or someone who casually throws out words like “cutback” and “barrel,” they’ll hook you up with the perfect board for your skill level and vibe. And let’s not forget the free surf lockers if you rent for two days or more—because you should be saving your energy for that long paddle, not for hauling a board through Waikiki.





Stand-Up Paddleboards—The View from the Top





If surfing feels a little too hardcore for your vacation energy, let us introduce you to the multipurpose choice for Waikiki beach rentals: stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), the calmer, more zen cousin of wave riding. Picture this: you, gliding across Waikiki’s glassy water, spotting turtles below and feeling like you just stepped into a dream sequence.





Big Wave Dave’s paddleboards are built for every kind of adventure, whether you’re cruising along the coast or casually riding a wave while pretending you’re in a Hawaiian tourism ad. Rentals come by the hour, day, or week, and yes, you get a free locker for multi-day rentals because obviously.





Pro tip: Paddleboarding is a sneaky core workout, so you can cancel your spin class and still feel virtuous.





Bodyboards—Ride the Chill Waves





Not ready to stand up? No judgment. Big Wave Dave’s bodyboards are perfect for anyone who wants to keep it low-key but still feel the rush of catching a wave. It’s simple, fun, and requires zero balance skills—which, let’s be real, is sometimes a blessing.





The boards are top-quality (no flimsy hotel leftovers here), and you can rent them hourly, daily, or weekly. Whether you’re sticking to the shore or getting bold with the bigger waves, this is your ticket to carefree beach bliss.





Snorkeling Gear—Hello, Underwater World





Let’s face it: snorkeling is a non-negotiable in Hawaii. But why waste your money on overpriced Waikiki beach rentals and gear when Big Wave Dave has clean, high-quality snorkels for just $20 a day? 





Take your gear to Hanauma Bay or any of Waikiki’s reefs and prepare to meet fish so colorful they look like they were drawn by a Disney animator. Bonus points if you spot a turtle because that’s basically like winning the underwater lottery.





Beach Gear for Living Your Best Life





Sometimes, the best beach day is the one where you don’t even touch the water. Big Wave Dave gets that. They’ve got rash guards, life jackets, umbrellas, and chairs that make lounging feel like an art form.





Planning to spend the whole day pretending you’re in a travel magazine spread? Grab a beach chair and umbrella by the hour, day, or week, and claim your spot in the sand like the Waikiki royalty you are.





Pro Tips for Maximum Waikiki Beach Enjoyment With Your Rental Gear




  1. Book Early: Waikiki gets busy, and the best gear goes fast. Don’t sleep on it.

  2. Ask the Staff: These guys know Waikiki better than your GPS knows traffic. Use their wisdom.

  3. Take a Lesson: Whether you’re a beginner or just rusty, a little coaching goes a long way.

  4. Sunscreen Everything: The sun is not your friend if you forget this step. Reef-safe, always.

  5. Have Fun: Remember, it’s called a vacation for a reason.




Your Waikiki Day Doesn’t Have to End at the Beach





The only thing better than Waikiki beach rentals from Big Wave Dave’s Surf Co.? Celebrating your successful day of ocean adventures. Hit up one of the nearby bars for a mai tai the size of your head, or grab a poke bowl and people-watch from the sand.





So go ahead, visit Big Wave Dave’s to get a head start on your most-excellent Hawaii vacation.
