we don't bother hiring one from the beach anymore.
We've got to know the guys in the surf shop near Warung 96,on the opposite side of the road.It's in the lane that runs off Poppies 2 that heads up to Jalan Benesari.
This surf shop is right next door to the open fronted pizza place that has the pizza oven shaped like a beehive.We usually hire it for several days at a time & get it for 20,000 rupiah per day.Shortly after we arrive our son goes in,says hello to the guys he knows & picks out the board he wants to hire & then one of them delivers it to our hotel room on his motor bike.When we are ready to return it we just phone them to come & pick it up.
I have posted info before but will try over the next couple of days to find the business card with the name & phone number.
They have a good range of sized boards invcluding Malibu's & Mini-mals.I don't think you could do much better for full day hire than 20,000.
