Used Surfboards

Used surfboards offering a chance to find a proven board, a bargain or something with a bit of history.

Bob Gnarly's Take

GOOD BOARDS DON'T ALWAYS NEED TO BE NEW.

Buying used can be a smart way to build a quiver. Check the condition carefully, make sure the dimensions suit you and don't be afraid of a few honest marks — a board with some history can still have plenty of waves left in it.
