Top 2 Reasons to Look for Used Surfboards

For surfers around the globe, buying new gear can be pretty expensive. But it is totally worth it to pursue your passion. Still, there are ways to make it easier on your wallet. The main way to do that is by shopping for used surfboards. Here are our top 2 reasons to buy a used surfboard.

1. Save Money! It's as simple as that! Buying a used board allows you to get a great surfboard for a lower price than a new one. Perhaps you can get a brand you wouldn't have been able to afford. You can even use some of the money you saved to update some of your other gear. Or try out a new style of board with a used one to see if you really like it before making the investment of a new surfboard.
2. Sustainability The surfing community is generally one that cares about the globe because they appreciate and benefit from its wonders in their craft. Surfing brands and surfers alike are constantly coming up with ways to give back to the community and make surfing a more sustainable sport. One way you can help make a smaller global impact as a surfer is by purchasing a used surfboard. Instead of adding to the resources necessary to manufacture a new board, you can buy a board that already exists. This eliminates the use of those resources and keeps a board in use that might otherwise end up in a landfill.
