Have you ever been asked, where to purchase a used surf board? Where is the best place to start. Certainly one of the best places to start is a friend, although just because a board works for your firend doesn’t mean it will be the best for you. Take into consideration your friends height, weight, ability. A big advantage for you is your friend should let you surf the stick before you purchase. You will not be able to do this if you buy from a surf shop.

Other options when looking for used surf boards are online sites like ebay, Amazon or local surf shops. All of these options will have not only surfboards but all kinds of surf gear.

Before you start you search you need to do a little homework, think about the surf break you are going to use this surfboard at the most. What type of conditions are normal at the break. Take note of what other surfers with similar skill levels and body type are surfing on.

If you are 6′ tall and 200 pounds you will not be able to surf the same surfboard as another surfer that is 5′ and 250 pounds. If you decide to buy online ask lots of questions, who surf on the surfboard, where it was used, how much repair has been done on it etc. If you would like to see used surfboards up for auction as well as other surf gear check out our surf store.
