About Junkyard Surf

The Idea Was Simple. The Execution Took Years.

Junkyard Surf started in 2019 with one simple goal: find a secondhand board that didn’t involve chasing dead links or scrolling through endless listings.

Back then, we tried building a website. It wasn’t great. But the idea stuck.

Fast forward a few years after work, after more boards, and a bunch of sketches and notes the app was born. Built by two surfers from Margaret River who just wanted a better way to buy, sell, and connect with the local surf scene.

Junkyard Surf isn’t trying to change the game. It’s just making it easier to do what surfers have always done: trade boards, find good gear, and back the crew around them.

This is for the ones running lessons out of the back of a van. The shapers making boards in sheds. The photographers lining up the shot. The ones who’ve got something worth sharing and just need a simple way to be found.

That’s us. That’s Junkyard Surf.
