Surf board rental

Hi,

my boyfriend and I will be traveling to Panama end of March beginning of April. We will be surfing at Playa Venao and Bocas del Toro. We are wondering if we should bring our own boards or rent there. Has anyone rented boards at El Sitio at Playa Venao or Bocas del Toro? What kind of boards are available? Was it difficult to rent boards?

How is it traveling around with surfboards in Panama on buses as well as Taxis? Any experience?

Thanks

I rented a surfboard on Bastimentos both times I visited. I just asked around and one of the local guys rented me one for the days I went surfing.

Is probably easier to find one on Bocas Island itself as it's bigger. I always surfed the left hand reef break on the north side of Isla Carenero (between Bocas and Bastimentos).

I can never be bothered travelling with a board - too much hassle, so just borrow or rent wherever I go.

Have fun....
