Second-Hand Surfboards in Melbourne

Melbourne is the gateway to Victoria’s surf culture, sitting between the legendary Surf Coast, the Mornington Peninsula, and the city’s own URBNSurf wave pool. At the centre of Melbourne’s shaping scene is Zak’s Surfboards, known for producing custom boards that hold up in everything from reef breaks to wave pools.

For second-hand surfboards and gear, the city’s go-to is the Melbourne Surfboard Shop in Thornbury, which offers a strong mix of used and custom boards alongside surf hardware. Beyond the metro, Torquay and the Peninsula host a steady flow of retail outlets and local shops, ensuring that Melbourne surfers can always find quality boards—whether they’re chasing waves at Bells, Rye, or in the pool at URBNSurf.

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