Why buy a used surfboard? I understand why people would not want to buy a used wetsuit (I will not go into details why is that :) ), but there is no reason why you should not get an used surfboard. There are quite a few reasons, times and places when buying a used surfboard is a very good idea. To help you with that, 360Guide gives you a used surfboard guide.

A surfboard leash is the cord that attaches a surfboard to the surfers leg. It helps you keep your surfboard when you wipeout. Without it you would have to swim after your surfboard every time you fell. There is also the risk of your surfboard hitting someone in the head while running towards the shore and the danger of swimming without a surfboard through the lineup. Strong currents can be really dangerous without a surfboard. And at the end, there is a big chance that when your surfboard reaches the shore it will find the only rock there in hit it. You can also thank your leash for less surfboard dings. Surfboard leash guide.

A quick and easy explanation on how the surfboards are made. From hand shaped custom surfboards to moulded surfboards, soft surfboards, body boards and injection moulded boards. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each construction technique and who is it meant for.

A surfboard could be just about the hardest piece of sport equipment to buy. There are so many variables that influence the way the surfboard will ride and there are so many different shapers and surfboard model, even if we do not get into the custom shaped surfboards. What kind of tail do you want, what kind of rails do you wan, what kind of fin set-up, what kind of rocker, do you want channel bottom, how thick, how wide etc... it can get confusing at the beginning. To sort things out, read our surfboard buyers guide.

Modern Surfboards come in all shapes and sizes. From longboards to shortboards, from beginners boards to big guns, from new experimental shapes to old retro shapes. These days we have more choice than ever.

History of surfboards, we came a long way. Can you imagine riding a 35kg/77lb heavy wooden surfboard with no fins and no rocker? I can't. This is exactly how the first solid surfboards looked like. So these days we can be grateful for new materials and light surfboards that fit under our arm as the fist surfers were (actually would be, if they knew what lays ahead) grateful for clean oceans and empty lineups. In How surfboards evolved through history from unimaginably heavy wooden planks to light and manoeuvrable surfboards.
