Used Shortboards for Sale
Shopping for a used shortboard? You're in the right place. Grom Boards has 19 pre-owned shortboards listed by surfers across the country. Shortboards are one of the most popular categories on the marketplace because the right one can completely change how you surf — and buying used is the smartest way to dial in shape, volume, and rocker without committing to a new-board price. Each listing includes detailed dimensions, condition notes, photos from multiple angles, and the seller's location so you know exactly what you're picking up. Filter by length, brand, condition, and price, then message the seller to ask questions or arrange pickup. Whether you're after a proven model from a major brand or a one-off from an independent shaper, you'll find boards here that have been ridden, loved, and are now looking for their next home. New shortboards get listed every week — save your favorites and check back often.

How does buying a used surfboard on Grom Boards work?
Browse listings, message the seller through the app, and arrange a pickup. Grom Boards is a peer-to-peer marketplace — you pay the seller directly when you meet up to inspect the board.
Are all listings on Grom Boards verified?
Listings are posted by real surfers. We display the seller's name, location, and message history so you can vet sellers before meeting up. Always inspect a board in person before paying.
What should I look for when inspecting a used surfboard?
Check for delamination, soft spots in the deck, dings on the rail and tail, and any cracks around the fin boxes or leash plug. Minor pressure dings are normal; structural damage is not.
