Kuhio Beach Surfboard Lockers Repaired and Ready to Rent
The Department of Enterprise Services (DES) is reopening the Kuhio Beach surfboard lockers. DES is currently accepting surfboard locker applications and will move in renters beginning Aug. 5. Returning renters will have priority until Aug. 31. Upon availability, DES will issue lockers to new renters. If no lockers are available, new renters will be placed on a wait-list on a first-come, first-serve basis.
“Waikīkī has some of our island’s most popular beaches and surf breaks. These surfboard lockers are extremely helpful for the people whose favorite surf spots front Waikīkī Beach. I’m glad the city provides this convenience to our residents,” said Mayor Kirk Caldwell. “Surfing is an excellent way of getting exercise and relieving stress, all while staying physically distanced from other people in the water. Mahalo to our Department of Enterprise Services, Department of Parks and Recreation, Department of Facility Maintenance, and Department of Design and Construction for their hard work repairing and reopening these lockers.”
Applications are required for all renters, both new and returning. Applications and instructions are available at honolulu.gov/DES. For returning renters affected by the fire, locker fees will be waived until Dec. 31. Renters will not be guaranteed the same locker prior to the fire.
After an application has been processed and accepted, DES will notify the renter via email with their move-in date and assigned locker number. This process may take 1 to 2 weeks. Due to COVID-19 requirements, renters must make an appointment to drop off their paperwork and lock. All locks must be delivered in an open state and without a key or combination. To schedule an appointment, please visit Appointments.
Interested renters are advised to review the following documents:
- Application
- Move In Instructions
- Surfboard Locker Policies and Procedures
- Waiver of Rental Fee Agreement
The surfboard locker was destroyed in a 2-alarm fire on Feb. 27. A criminal arson investigation is ongoing. Portions of the locker area are blocked to allow repair work to be done at the Moana Surfrider.
