Regrettably, we have had to make a change to our policy. This is due to the potential liability issues that arise when equipment is taken off-site. As a result, we can no longer offer the option to pick up equipment and leave with it. Instead, we require that you use the equipment at one of our five locations, which are directly on a lake or river. Additionally, we kindly ask that you refrain from sharing equipment. 

We open our rental locations depending on the water and weather conditions, which may vary slightly each season. The quickest way to check the season start is by choosing the location you want to access and initiating a reservation. Before purchasing, you will be provided with a calendar of availability. Alternatively, you can contact us for assistance!

Here are the season start dates for our locations:

- Lake Allatoona: Little River opens on weekends in mid-March and seven days a week starting May.

- Etowah River: The Mill On Etowah (River Trips) opens in mid to end of March. It starts with kayak trips only, then tube rentals open in mid-April. The Mill On Etowah location will be open 6-7 days a week beginning in May.

- Lake Allatoona: Red Top Mountain opens on weekends from mid to end of April.

We prioritize your safety and enjoyment, so season start dates and shutdowns are directly related to our team's efforts to ensure your safety and enjoyment.

The weight limit for Murphs Surf rental equipment is as follows:

It's important to adhere to these weight limits for safety reasons.

Flat water locations on Lake Allatoona are great for beginners! just remember if you're new to the sport stay closer to the shore and near the marina. Our river trips with kayaks need to have little more experience since the water is moving.

We recommend bringing water, snacks, and appropriate clothing for your activity. It's also a good idea to expect to get wet if you'll be near water. If you're planning on bringing drinks, coolers are allowed but please avoid glass containers. The shop's offers dry bags, sunscreen, and outdoor apparel if needed. Additionally, you can keep important items like your keys at the check-in desks for safekeeping.

You can easily book with us through our website. We offer online booking 24/7, and once you've made your reservation, you'll receive a confirmation email and text message with all the necessary information. Our team is unable to make a reservation for you over the phone. During the process of making a reservation online, you are required to read, acknowledge, and accept the liability of your reservation. In addition, you will need to receive information. Our team will not take any walk-ups's after 5PM.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you make a reservation with us and fail to show up or call to cancel, unfortunately your reservation will not be eligible for a refund. However, we do offer a reservation protection policy for a small fee on our online booking system. This policy comes in handy in case you are unable to make your reservation, and you will be refunded by a third party provider instead of Murphs Surf. It's definitely a great way to protect your reservation for a small price.
