Second-hand surf gear
Wetsuits, fins, board bags and everything else that piles up in the garage after a few years of surfing. From people nearby, with the size and the fin system up front so you know whether it fits before you write.
What's here
Latest listings
No gear listed yet. If you are selling something, you would be the first and everyone would see it.
Looking for a board?
Boards have their own board, with dimensions, litres and a straight answer about who each one is for. And if you do not know how many litres you need, we have a volume calculator tuned to the waves here.
What we are not
We are not part of the sale. We take no commission, we do not handle payment, we ship nothing and we do not answer for what gets sold: this is a noticeboard, and whoever sells answers for their own gear. Meet somewhere public and try the wetsuit on before you pay.
Selling something?
Listing is free and there is no commission. We ask for your email only so we can pass messages on to you. Post your listing.
And if you would rather try before you buy
Our lessons include everything, wetsuit in your size included. Getting out of the water knowing what suits you saves you buying the wrong size. You can also look at the session photos or the surf report.
How do I know my wetsuit size?
By height and weight, not by your t-shirt size. Every brand has its own chart and they do not match, so ask the seller for the brand and model and look it up. A wetsuit has to be tight: if it is loose across the back or under the arms, water flushes through and you will be cold however thick it is.
What thickness do I need in Barcelona?
June to October, a 3/2 or even a shorty in August. November to May, a 4/3 with boots; in January and February plenty of people add a hood. A 5/4 is overkill here unless you feel the cold badly.
Will any fins fit my board?
No, and this is the mistake we see most. Your board has a fin system — FCS II, original FCS or Futures — and only fins from that system go in. Check before you buy: it is written on the fin itself or in the base of the box. That is why every fin listing states the system on the first line.
Is a second-hand wetsuit not worn out?
Depends on the use and on how it was rinsed. Look at the seams, the knees and the armpits, which is where they go, and be wary of one that feels stiff or smells strong: that is salt and sun. A well-kept two-season suit can be better than a cheap new one.
How long does a listing stay up?
60 days. Then it comes down on its own and you can renew it with one click from your panel while you are still selling. We would rather have a short, honest board than a huge one full of things sold two years ago.
