South Africa Surfboard Prices?

Postby Seyrnahd » Tue Oct 09, 2012 5:34 pm

Seem to be having difficulty in finding any info on new off the rack prices for shortboards in the durban area. Wanna see if it is easier to just pick up a board when i land rather than have to travel with one

Thanks for the info.

SA prices are cheap. When I was there 3 years ago off the rack prices were around £200-£300 (can't remember the price in Rand). You could get a custom board with fins, bag and everything for around £300.
Clayton and Natural Curve (Hugh Thompson) both make good boards in Durban.
