Hi Samuel,
The best place to rent a surfboard is closest to where you are going to surf:

Both locations have several rental shops with as low as $10 a day. Bring the boogie boards stored in the backyard SW corner just in case the waves are not huge.
And you can rent for the week but easier just for the day.

South Mission Beach is located at the southern end of the Golden Strand which runs from Pacific Beach Point to the Mission Bay channel. Perhaps the widest beach in the city, it is a popular place for the BEACH.
