The Problem
The rental industry is broken. Traveling with boards costs a fortune in airline fees, and renting locally usually means settling for beginner gear because owners, rightfully, don't trust strangers with their €800 shortboards.
ABOUT LINEUP
Born in the dawn patrol
LINEUP was born in the dawn patrol parking lots of Lisbon and Ericeira. We kept seeing the same frustrating story: world-class waves, but visiting surfers were stuck riding dead foamies, while local high-performance boards sat gathering dust in apartment racks.
The Fix
We built LINEUP to bridge that gap. We replaced blind trust with a secure, verified system: mandatory ID checks, secure deposit holds, and a photographic handover protocol. Owners are finally protected, and renters finally get the gear they actually want to ride.
The Community
This isn't just a marketplace; it's a local network. By sharing the boards we love, we keep quality gear in the water, reduce waste, and ensure everyone gets to surf Portugal exactly the way it was meant to be surfed.
