Customs
Custom Surfboards are at the heart of what we do, and have been ever since Bob first picked up a planer over 60 years ago. Getting a Custom Surfboard is all about making your board unique to you, whichever way you see fit, so it brings you the most stoke possible every time you surf it (or see it!). If you want to make it a bucket-list-ticking experience, why not make a day of it and book a Custom Handshape Experience. Get in the shaping bay (via FaceTime or in person) as Bob or Ben shape your custom surfboard right in front of you, and get all the goodies to remember it by.
Find out more about the options below or hit the Request a Callback button and we'll chat you through it.

Bespoke Custom
Speak directly with the shaper, and Ben or Bob will design a one-of-one board tailor made for you. Whether you’re on your 1st or 101st board, surfers of any level can find value in connecting with a shaper of Ben and Bob's experience. Combined, they’ve been designing surfboards for nearly 100 years.
A Bespoke Custom is available in-person or online. So no matter where you are in the world you can still jump on a FaceTime with Bob or Ben to discuss your original custom design.

Custom Art
There are endless possibilities of how we can art up your board, from modern abstract resin swirls to period-correct airbrush sprays. Our artists can make almost anything possible.
With all Custom Art you'll get the opportunity to sit down (or jump on the phone) with one of our master board builders (who will be applying said art) and together come up with entirely unique art for your board. If you have been pinning reference images for months, have an old favourite you'd like to replicate, or even leave it to the artist, our board builders can do it all.

Custom Handshape Experience
Handshapes are the ultimate custom surfboard, designed to bring you the most joy possible - on the day it’s made and for years to come. You’ll spend the day with Bob or Ben, starting with a factory tour and design consult to work out the right surfboard for you. Then pick your blank from the Blank Forest and spend the next 3-4 hours in the shaping bay as your dream board comes to life.
The Custom Handshape Experience is available in-person or online. So no matter where you are in the world you can still jump on a FaceTime with Bob or Ben as they design and shape your board along side you.
