The surfboard (12) includes a board apparatus (20) having a body region (34), a surface layer (36) and one or more board magnetic regions (14). The surface layer (36) is secured to the body region (34), and each board magnetic region (14) is secured to the board apparatus (20). Each board magnetic region (14) can have a substantially flat configuration and can be formed from a magnetic material. The board magnetic regions (14) can be secured to the surface layer (36) and/or the body region (34). The foot retainer (18) includes a retainer magnetic region (69) having a magnetic material. The foot retainer (18) can include a sole plate (62) that that couples the retainer magnetic region (69) to the retainer body (56). The foot pad (16) includes a pad region (46) and a pad magnetic region (48). The pad magnetic region (48) is secured to the pad region (46), and is substantially formed from a magnetic material.
