Buy New & Used Surfboards Online in Australia

Finding the right board should not feel like digging through unrelated listings on general classifieds. Junkyard Surf is the dedicated place to buy used and new surfboards from real surfers, local shops and trusted shapers. Whether you are hunting for a cheap groveller, a mid length, a performance shortboard or a vintage log, this is where the Australian surfing community trades.

The Better Way to Buy a Surfboard

Generic marketplaces are not built for surfboards. Poor filters, unreliable profiles and irrelevant items make the search slow and frustrating. Junkyard Surf solves that with a platform designed purely for surf equipment.

Key advantages:

  • Search by dims, brand/model and board type

  • Verified seller profiles

  • Reliable information and specs

  • Local pickup for safe handovers

  • Listings from surfers, shops and shapers

Every board on the platform is listed for one reason. To be surfed.

Search for boards the way surfers actually think. Junkyard Surf gives you multiple ways to find your perfect board, whether you want to explore listings on the map, filter by specs or negotiate price with the seller.
