What Accessories Do You Need for a Surfboard?

As with many other water sports, having quality accessories for surfing can greatly enhance your experience. In this section, you will find replacement surf parts such as surf leashes and surfboard traction pads. These are surf accessories that are often not included when purchasing a surfboard and are easily replaceable. Surfboard bags are additional items that are excellent for protecting your board. These surf bags will safeguard the board during transport, and the straps make carrying the board much more convenient.

Is Surfboard Wax Necessary?

Surf wax is an essential accessory for maintaining control while standing on your board. Surfers apply wax to the top of the board to ensure their feet have a good grip while riding a wave. Without the wax, the surface can become very slippery. Wax can be directly applied to the board from the wax block and can be refreshed or removed using a surf wax comb.

If you are surfing in cold waters, you might consider wearing a wetsuit to extend your time in the water.
