Saves surfers from travelling with or renting boards separately — genuinely valuable given how expensive and logistically painful flying with a surfboard bag is. Airbnb has no native way to filter for this, so surf travellers currently have to hunt through listing descriptions of coastal properties one by one.
When you open Airbnb's search filter panel, you'll see options for basic amenities like "Wifi" and "Pool." But for more specific features like Surfboard, the filter may not appear at all — or it's buried so deep that most travellers never find it. Airbnb has assigned an internal amenity code to Surfboard (code: 174), but their UI simply doesn't expose it.
This forces travellers into one of two bad options: read through every listing description hoping the host mentioned it, or book somewhere and discover the amenity isn't available after you arrive.
How CustomBNB Lets You Filter by Surfboard
CustomBNB aggregates all of Airbnb's internal amenity codes — including Surfboard (code 174) — and surfaces them through a simple, searchable interface. When you click the search button, CustomBNB generates an Airbnb URL with the amenity code appended, sending you directly to pre-filtered results on Airbnb's platform.
You're not leaving Airbnb's ecosystem — you're just arriving with your filters already set. CustomBNB requires no account to try, and takes under 30 seconds. For a deeper look at how Airbnb's hidden filter system works, read our complete guide to Airbnb's hidden amenity codes.

Tips for Booking an Airbnb with Surfboard
Verify the Surfboard before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Surfboard, check that recent reviews mention it positively, and read the "Things to know" section for any caveats. A filter match is a starting point — not a guarantee.
Message the host to confirm if it's a dealbreaker
If Surfboard is essential to your trip, send the host a quick message before booking to confirm it's available and in working order for your dates. Most hosts respond within a few hours. Getting it in writing also protects you if there's a dispute after check-in.
What else to look for in the listing
Ask about board type, size, and skill-level suitability — a single longboard suits beginners, but experienced surfers will want to know if there's a quiver of boards for different conditions. Also confirm wetsuit availability separately, since boards and wetsuits aren't always bundled together.
