Surfboards?

Question

What is the price range for longboards?

Answer 1

IT DEPENDS WHAT BOARD YOU WANT AND THE SHAPER'S PRICE, USED BOARDS ARE LESS EXPENSIVE

Answer 2

You should be able to get one cheaper if you go directly to the shaper and get a board custom made, as this cuts out the middle man.

I got my 8 foot board for A$720 with a heavy glass job and gloss finish, but a similar board from a surf shop would normally be $850-900

Don't be tempted to go for the $600 board, leash and bag deals if you want to keep it for a while. These boards are always glassed very poorly and are so weak you can make a dent just by squeezing them hard.

Having said that, you can probably get a decent second hand longboard for around $700.

If I were you, I'd go to a local shaper. That way you can discuss what you're looking for and get something perfect.

All prices are in Australia.

I think they are much more expensive in the UK

Answer 3

these ppl are crazy.  a brand new board should be $600 at the most.  however, im assuming that since ur asking this its a first board.  a little advice, a first surfboard is like a first car for a teenager: it will absolutely get dinged up really bad.  on account of that let me urge you to get a used board for $150 or less.  after u ride it for a while ull have a good idea of what u want for ur next board, at which point u can get a board for about $600 or whatever ridiculous amount other people will tell u boards cost...

Answer 4

In Australia they can range from $500 -$1500 a board.

They now have a soft board which is alot cheaper just as boyent as fiberglass (sorta like a desposible board). they do the job and save you money.

Answer 5

About a grand for a new board, and as cheap as $50 for a real dinged up one
