Second-Hand Surfboards in Canberra

While Canberra isn’t on the coast, the city is well placed for surfers who regularly travel to the NSW South Coast and beyond. Popular breaks like Ulladulla, Batemans Bay, and Mollymook are within a few hours’ drive, making Canberra a gateway for surfers heading east.

For second-hand surfboards and gear, many locals turn to online platforms like Junkyard Surf, where boards can be sourced directly from coastal towns and arranged for pickup on surf trips. This makes it simple for Canberra surfers to access the same quality second-hand boards available to those living by the beach, without relying on local shops.

Explore second-hand and new surfboards of every shape and size.
