Gonna be in Sydney over the July school holidays was wanting details of places to hire boards and wetties ( decent boards-6'2- 6'6 fibreglass etc not foamies)
anywhere doing surf guide type thing ie 1 day tour with board wettie transport etc
will be staying in World Square area
Yep loads of places will rent you a decent board in Manly - Dripping Wet at North Steyne is a good bet as is Aloha in Manly - Tim has some good demos as well you might want to try. Enjoy.
Thanks newsouthwelsh breezers

You can even stop at the NZ Ice creamery
I love Manly and wanted to book a holiday their with family. I sent of enquires (as no hotel would give me a online quote for accommodation with two kids) well before the Christmas holidays. After the new year when i had not not had a reply, i emailed Hawaii and had emails back the next day. So sadly my kids will now get to experience Hawaiian Culture before NSW
I just love Manly though..Great spot.

Dripping Wet is the surf shop Ted mentioned.
This is your best option to my knowledge.
When you get off ferry, walk down Manly Corso to Manly Beach (10 mins).
Then walk north along Manly Beach for another 10-15 mins.
There's few good cafes next to Dripping Wet after your surf.

Please don't forget to share the journey with some picks
Just out of the water after 3hrs at DeeWhy?? great fun 2-3ft beachies and found a peak with just me and Ryan-surfguide (highly recommend if you dont have transport or boards or wetties--$89 tour of nth beachies board and wettie and 3+hrs surfing) also got a ripper Unibrow from for hire from Aloha in manly from Tim-thanks kiwiTed!! Photos to download when i get back
Sydney is amazing so pretty out on the harbour then chuck in some surfing YEEEEEEEEEEEEEWW
Glad you found a board and got some waves. How long are you around for? We have a nice swell on route. There will be some incredible waves around later in the week.

What did you think of the Uni brow Especially compared to your scud?
This topic has got me pumped, I'm heading to Bondi/Manly for work in a couple of weeks so hopefully I get it as good as you mocha1.
The unibrow was good, same dimensions as my scud but less volume....the nose isn't as wide, I would probably go up to 6'3 or 6'4 on it but it was fast and loose in the waves I got...really enjoyed it, fins were just stock m7 fronts with small mr rears.
hope you do too sea dog if you need a board go to Aloha see Tim...if you wanna guide to get the hang of the place and some inside knowledge call Ryan at Manly Surf Guide
I was stocked to surf quality waves with only 1 other guy, in Perth on that peak there would've bee 300 hungry non surf etiquette following frothing sea monsters with their heat clocks on
Whats the wettie situation up in NSW at the moment? 3/2 steamer or would a 2/2 short arm be enough?
