Charleston Surfboards, Paddleboards & Surf Gear
Carolina Salt has helped thousands of people learn to surf on the beaches of Charleston, South Carolina. We took that experience and used it to build our own lineup of beginner-friendly surfboards, paddleboards, and water apparel.
Our surfboards are designed with new and progressing surfers in mind, making it easier to catch waves, build confidence, and have more fun in the water. The rest of our retail lineup follows the same idea, with paddleboards, apparel, and gear chosen for the way people actually use them on the Charleston coast.

Surfboards Built for Charleston Waves
Finding the right surfboard doesn’t need to be complicated. Carolina Salt carries surfboards suited to the conditions around Folly Beach and the Charleston coast. Whether you’re buying your first board, moving on from a soft top or looking for something with more performance, we can help you find the right fit for your ability and the type of surfing you want to do.
For beginners, stability and ease of paddling are the priorities. A board with the right combination of length, width and volume will paddle easier, catch waves earlier and give you more stability when getting to your feet. As your surfing progresses, you can move toward lower-volume, more responsive shapes.
Not sure what you need? We’re local surfers and instructors who know these waves and the boards that work well here. Call or stop by and we’ll help you choose the right board.
