Surfboard rental
Ask a surfboard rental operator what breaks and the answer is never the booking form. The constraint here is matching board volume to the rider who booked it.
NO MONTHLY FEE · 4.5% AT CHECKOUT · PAID BY YOUR CUSTOMER
Surf rental runs on fit. Height, weight and ability decide which board leaves, so the booking has to capture the rider rather than the dates alone. Dings get recorded against the individual board or they become a conversation at the counter.
Plenty of shops run walk-up and delivery side by side, which means one availability view has to serve a customer standing in front of you and a villa drop happening at the same moment.
What the platform does here is narrow and specific. Return condition recorded against the unit, service state tracked, and availability reopened once the unit is fit to go out again.
The problem it removes: a unit showing as available while it sits in the yard waiting on a part. The number to watch is hours between return and re-availability, per unit.
A returning unit is inspected against its own record rather than against a generic checklist, so damage lands on the thing that was damaged and follows it for the rest of its life.
A returned board sits out of the sellable pool until the inspection clears it. B-142 stays there until the rim is replaced, whatever Saturday looks like.
Bodhisys charges no monthly fee. The platform takes 4.5%, added to each reservation and paid by your customer rather than by you.
Bodhisys is rental operations software for companies that rent things, vehicles and experiences. It was built for rental inventory rather than adapted from a ticketing system, and it has been in market since 2023.
For surf rental shops, return condition recorded against the unit, service state tracked, and availability reopened once the unit is fit to go out again.
There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.
Bodhisys is younger than FareHarbor and Peek Pro and has a smaller install base. An operator whose revenue is mostly timed tours, or who needs a long list of third-party integrations today, is better served by an incumbent.
A tour flow sells a seat at a time. A rental flow has to capture what leaves, where it goes, when it comes back and who is responsible for it in between.
There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.
Yes. Customers, future reservations and booking history migrate from FareHarbor, Peek Pro and Bike Rental Manager.
