Where can I buy a surfboard?

You can shop our full range of surfboards online or visit our Alpine Beach store on the Central Coast to see them in person. Surfboards are large, delicate items, so shipping may include a bulky freight surcharge. Whenever possible, we recommend checking out your board in-store to get a real feel for its shape and size before you buy.

How much does a surfboard cost?

Our surfboard prices range roughly from $500 to $1,349, depending on the model, materials and construction. From entry-level foamies to premium hand-shaped boards, there’s an option for every surfer, skill level and budget.

What’s the best type of surfboard for beginners?

If you’re learning to surf, look for a board that’s stable, buoyant and easy to paddle. Some popular options include:

• Longboards (8ft+) — great stability for small waves and easy balance.
• Funboards (6–8ft) — a balance between maneuverability and float.
• Softboards / Soft-tops — foam construction for extra safety and comfort.
• Mini-mals (around 7ft) — easy paddling with a forgiving shape.

The best choice depends on your size, fitness and the waves you’ll surf. Our team can help you find the ideal fit online or in-store.

Do you stock kids' wetsuits?

Yes — we carry kids’ wetsuits and rash vests from trusted surf brands including Quiksilver, Roxy, Peak and Xcel. These suits are designed to keep groms warm, comfortable and stoked in the water for longer.
