Traveling rules, but the freedom to roam comes with a price. For a surfer, just getting your boards to the destination can cause more stress than allotted for the typical vacation. Whether you find yourself bi-coastal or a weekend warrior wanting to escape for a quick warm water barrel session, a New York start-up company has recently expanded their reach in efforts to make surf travel easier and cheaper for you by recreating the old surfboard rental model.
Use The Quiver to locate quality boards at your destination when you travel., helping to avoid logistical headaches, and providing an opportunity for you to surf a local’s board meant for that particular type of wave. It’s a system that relies on community – and surfing’s community is one of the tightest knit. It’s a concept about surfers helping surfers. Ever seen the bumper sticker that says “Keep Surfing In The Hands Of Surfers”? Here’s the perfect opportunity to make money, meet other surfers and try out a new board. This is a matter of surfers renting their boards out to other surfers, and making money off that act of kindness. Sounds like a win-win to me, and a sustainable one at that.
Join The Quiver community today, and meet other surfers, try out a new board, and make some extra scratch in the process. Hungry for a crisp white freshie? You can also DEMO a brand new board. Surfboard shapers around the globe will be inviting The Quiver renters to try out brand new sticks at the affordable price of FREE.
