We were having a very difficult trip with the weather and the some lodging challenges and Tamba worked was really friendly and helpful each time we talked with them! I also saw their shop's stickers all around the island of Kaua'i. They seem like a great company with lots of local knowledge and connections and support.

What a great place to rent boards! We got four surfboards and 4 boogie boards for a week. Saa, the owner, helped us out and gave me simple instructions for strapping the boards onto our rental minivan. (SUPER easy and the boards did great up there.) The board selection was very diverse and he gave some recommendations based on our experience level and conditions. We ended up with a 9’ epoxy, 2 soft tops (7’ and 8’), and a short board (about 5’ 3”). Three of my kids caught the waves of their lives at Hanalei Bay yesterday. So cool! We had to get some Tamba merch when we got back. Shirts, hats, and stickers. We hope to be back! In the meantime, we’ll be repping the brand on Cali’s Central Coast!

We come to Kauai every year and I always rent a board from Tamba for the week. They let you change out boards if you want and are super friendly. Plus the shop has awesome clothes and hats.

Devin helped us out renting a couple surfboards. He was super friendly and gave us good advice on choosing the right board for the local conditions. Will definitely come here again to rent boards.
