There isn't any in VT.  We searched and searched, and ended up ordering my husband's board online.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice but I rented a malibu from the beach club quite often over winter [ quite a few days of small fun waves] and they didn't have any boards for sale . Recently I had my short surfboards sent over from Australia but  I am looking for something larger [ 8 or 9 foot] for long distance paddling to try and keep a bit of "surf fitness".........I'm pretty sure something will turn up sooner or later...

Thanks again....

Kitesurfing is big there, and the people who have the schools for lessons are also the ones who have boards to rent.

Google "kitesurfing in Vung Tau"

Look at the beginning of this thread where I left a link to the Beach Club with dozens of boards you can rent. If they are open.
