Shaper: You!
Specs: Complete range of
build-your-own kits from
5’6”Fish to 12’ SUPs.

woodwork, played Lego

puzzle, then you can build
a board with these kits.
Description: Buy a
complete kit, construct
your own board. There’s no
better reward than surfing
a board you’ve built. Kits
are CNC-cut for perfect
shape and have been tried,
tested and refined to create
performance surfboards.
These are no wall-hangers!
Construction: Your first
board will take around 30-40
hours. Some can build a
board in a week, others take
months, but the satisfaction
of a complete board is the
same - pure stoke!
Fins: You decide.
