You have just finished your first surf course, you feel confident in the whitewater and now you want to head out into the waves on one of the many second hand surfboards? You are an intermediate surfer and need a new board, but money is tight right now? Or you simply fancy another surfboard for your collection? The easiest and cheapest solution: buy a used surfboard. Here is what you should look out for!<\/p>\n

In mainstream shops you can easily pay more than \u20ac600 for a new surfboard. If it is a brand-name board, your wallet takes an even bigger hit. But for most surfers at our very human level, such a purchase hardly pays off, because you sometimes get the first dents and dings after just a few sessions. That is why it is worth looking at used boards \u2013 but not everything that looks good is worth its weight in gold!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We all know it: you are sitting at work, lost in thoughts of your next surf trip in front of the computer, and before you know it you type “buy surfboards<\/strong>” into Google. You find countless websites advertising low prices for used boards, usually with eBay Kleinanzeigen or Second Surf<\/strong> at the top. But how good is buying surfboards online?<\/p>\n Especially if you do not know much about the surfboard you actually need or are looking for, buying online is risky. Even if the seller advertises an “almost new surfboard<\/strong>” that is supposedly “perfect for learning to surf<\/a><\/strong>“, there are usually (especially with bargains) more dings and dents than you would like. That is why we advise against used online bargains \u2013 better buy boards that you can inspect in person beforehand.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_line_height=”2em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n x1><\/h3>\n Here we have summarised a few points to think about before buying a surfboard:<\/p>\n x3><\/p>\n x7><\/p>\n x9><\/p>\n x11><\/p>\n x13><\/p>\n x15><\/p>\n x17><\/p>\n x19><\/ul>\n<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/second-hand-surf-boards.jpg” alt=”second hand surfboards” title_text=”second hand surfboards” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_line_height=”2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n If you have looked into surfboards a little, you know which different shapes exist and what they are suitable for. For a beginner, for example, a 9’4 longboard<\/a> or a gun is not ideal. That is why you should not be dazzled by colour or design when buying a surfboard \u2013 make sure the board suits you instead. You can find more information about boards here!<\/a><\/p>\n Do not overestimate yourself. The surfer lifestyle and the effortless cool that surfers with short boards radiate may be enviable, but they surf<\/a> certainly have not been surfing for just a year. Surfing is hard and it takes a long time until you can ride a wave<\/a> with some ease, but first and foremost it is about fun. And you have the most fun with the right surfboard size<\/a>. If you have only just started, it is best to buy a board with more volume rather than a toothpick. Your paddle power improves the more time you spend in the water, and your surf skills also improve quickly with a suitable board. So be honest with yourselves, and if you are not sure which board suits your level, just ask at the nearest surf shop.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not only the shape can throw a spanner in the works \u2013 the material also plays a big role. Do you need a PU board that sits a little deeper in the water but also breaks more easily? Or would you prefer an epoxy board, which is nice and light and has a lot of buoyancy? Unfortunately, these take on water more quickly and are not as easy to fix yourself as PU boards. If you are a beginner, you may need a robust softboard. These are more forgiving of a crash or a reef, but are heavier and often quite unwieldy. When choosing the material, your surf skills once again play a big role.<\/p>\n\n
