Paddleboard hire without overbooking

eola counts every board you own, so hire, lessons and walk-ins only ever sell the boards that are free.

  1. 1Set your hire optionsChoose hire lengths, from an hour to a full day, with a price for each.
  2. 2Customers book a boardOnline or at the desk, they only see times when a board is free.
  3. 3Every board is countedHire, lessons and club sessions share the same boards, so you never sell the same board twice.

The eola marketplace

Get booked by people on a day out

On a sunny day, plenty of people by the water decide there and then to give paddleboarding a go. They search on their phone, and the eola marketplace puts your activities in front of them. We do the promoting, so you don’t need paid ads or a marketing team.

Your questions answered

Transparency is at the heart of eola. If you don’t see your question here, get in touch with our team.

Can customers hire a paddleboard by the hour?

Yes. Set the shortest and longest hire, the time slots and a price for each length, and customers choose the time that suits them, online or at the desk.

Can the same boards be used for lessons and hire?

Yes. Lessons, hire and club sessions all draw on the same boards, so a board booked for a lesson can’t also go out on hire.

Can I take walk-ins at the launch site?

Yes. Sell hire at the desk or on the eola card reader, and the booking goes straight into your calendar and your board count.

Can paddlers sign waivers before they arrive?

Yes. Waivers and questionnaires come with every hire and lesson, and eola reminds customers until they’re done. Each person in a group can be sent their own by email or text.

Can I set an age limit for hire?

Yes. Set a minimum age for each activity and rental, and make an activity adults only or children only.

Can I sell memberships for my paddle club?

Yes. Sell rolling or fixed-term memberships with member prices on hire and lessons, and run members-only club sessions.
