How it works
Every board stays with the surfer or shop that lists it. Junkyard Surf just connects the dots—we don’t stock or resell, your board stays in your hands until pickup.
For Buyers
Browse boards near you – search by location or map view
Filter for the perfect match – size, shape, volume, brand, and more
Buy safely – secure payments and chat with sellers before pickup.
For Sellers
List your board in minutes – snap a few photos, add details, and set your price.
Connect with local surfers – buyers can message you directly.
Get paid quickly – funds are released to you after a confirmed sale.
For Shops – Built to Support, Not Compete
We get it—surf retail is about community, connection, and rewarding the surfers who walk through your doors. Junkyard Surf isn’t here to replace that. We’re here to amplify it.
Our platform gives your boards more reach without taking away from the in-store experience. Think of it as your digital shopfront: surfers discover your boards online, then come straight to you to check them out, get the board under their arm, and buy them in person.
Unlike Facebook or Gumtree, Junkyard Surf is built for surfboards and surf gear only—with proper filters, categories, and an audience of surfers. We’re cutting through the noise so the right surfers can find the right boards, and shops like yours get more locals through the door.
You stay in control. Your stock, your pricing, your terms—we just help make sure more people see what you’ve worked hard to build.
