Second-Hand Surfboards in Darwin

Darwin’s tropical waters aren’t a traditional surf hub, but the city still has a community of surfers who travel regularly to Indonesia, the NT coast, and other parts of Australia in search of waves. With Bali and Lombok only a short flight away, Darwin is uniquely placed as a launchpad for surfers heading north to world-class breaks.

For second-hand surfboards and gear, Junkyard Surf is the simplest option, giving locals access to boards being sold across Australia. Many Darwin surfers source boards online, then arrange shipping or pick them up before overseas trips, ensuring they’re always travel-ready with the right equipment.
