What you can expect

Learn the art of surfboard shaping during this three hour workshop that will see you craft your own shortboard to perfection with the help of world champion surfers and board builders. Come along to meet the team and enjoy a welcome beverage as you sit down ideate your design and help bring your dream surfboard a reality.

Utilising 3D surfboard technology, watch as your surfboard concept comes to life and begins to take shape from a block of foam to a masterpiece cut to shape. Next, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and learn how to use the shaping tools with experts guiding you at each step. Once complete, the resin finish will be applied and the surfboard will be delivered to your door within 4 to 6 weeks.

The Surfboard Shaping workshop covers the fundamentals of board design including: learning the characteristics of what your surfboard can do and hands-on experience using shaping tools and 3D software. Your options are limitless when it comes to your dream surfboard; from 5ft Fish, Hybrid and Shortboard alternatives, through to 7ft Cruisers and Step-ups for those big days or lazy paddlers!
