MyBoardLocker is hoping to help reduce friction associated with surfboard purchases by providing an easy way for surfers to 'try' before they 'buy' much the same way snowboarders and golfers do with their equipment. Surfers can reserve the latest models from the premiere shapers through online and mobile interfaces and then go pick the board up at a local surf shop to give them a test drive.
