Noosa Heads best longboard rentals

[KitesurferAU]

Do you know places at Noosa Heads where I can choose different boards across 4 days and don't pay half a board for that. I will have a car so I can take it from places away from the main beach.

And any tips how to get more waves at First Point? It looks it is always crowded there.

First point Noosa, hire just one board a good longboard, respect your way into the crowd take and make your waves, failure in any of these forget it.
Hold your nerve and be fair and assertive, but if you are in pole position and can’t take it, hand it on, give a wave to,get a wave!
If it’s an aggressive crowd, think about elsewhere!

Okay, some feedback from surfing Noosa points: WAY TOO MANY SURFERS (and they are good).

Conditions were marginal: ankle to knee at First Point and Head High at Tea Tree Bay. I caught my portion of waves but I have to navigate through crowds of experienced and hungry-for-wave young surfers, kids on foamies, guys on paddle boards and few SUPers. 5am - Car Park is already full, can you believe it?

Water was warm, rides were long, connecting waves all over way from Boiling point to main beach was really exciting. But I will try to escape such crowded places in the future, my skill level is not to that level to aggressively take waves from the Pros.

WAY TOO MANY SURFERS

Horrible! How was etiquette, many drop inns, aggression?

Sure first point is nice but if you head around to Sunshine beach, about 1km away, it’s deserted. Admittedly it’s just a standard beach break but if you want soemwhere a bit less stressful.

Of course you are trading 30 second rides for 5 second rides, so there is that

If you can, best time to surf is after 9am on a weekday. The kids will (mostly) be in school and a lot of the others will be at work. It can still be busy of course and the wind might pick up.

Not bad, just few burns, there were not a lot of people willing to get aggressive with me

When I was there all ocean breaks were a dog breakfast due to strong easterlies blowing from morning till dark. May be that's why all the points were heavily occupied. I'm not sure why boys and girls not in school and why people not at work during business hours, I guess they were all on holidays like me But next time I would prefer to go fly to Canggu, more peaks and less skilled crowd.

Ah, yes, blown out beaches and working point break = crowds

why are the kids there - well, if the surf is pumpin dont expect any schoolin!

Lots of tradies fit in their surfing around jobs, so turn up anytime; plus a few fly in fly out workers and just people who work in the hospitality industry (main occupation in noosa) and have later shifts. And the blow in tourists...

These guys have a few options - My pick would be Classic Malibu from the ones they have -
