We are committed to making highest quality, custom surfboards, manufactured from start to finish in our factory in Ventura, CA. Surfboards built by hand in the USA, using highest grade materials, are more costly and labor intensive to produce. Yet, this is the model that enables the shaper to maintain essential hands-on interaction with the design and production process, and which sustains the synergy of shaper and surfer for the best possible equipment under your feet.
1 >> TALK WITH TODD :::
Todd will detail all aspects of your board model & specs with you based on your realtime conversation. If you wish to discuss custom graphics please make sure to e-mail us examples of anything you want to reference during the phone call ahead of time. You can browse our art galleries here. Please be prepared to finalize all details of your custom order during this single one-on-one appointment with Todd as we do not make changes to custom orders after the fact. This is the time Todd will be completely focused on your personal surfing journey, preferences & goals. Consults typically run 10-30 minutes & are limited to a maximum of 30 minutes. Charissa will answer any price & logistics related questions at the beginning of the call.
2 >> ENJOY THE INTERACTION, HAVE THE CONVERSATION & BE HONEST :::
Don’t overthink it. Todd has been custom tuning boards for individual surfers of all experience levels in all sorts of conditions worldwide for 30 years & will ask you the questions he needs to know to properly advise you. Just make sure you answer honestly. The more info you provide to us about what you are riding now (ie. full dimensions/volume if available, etc) and your personal surfing journey, the better.
3 >> 50% DOWN PAYMENT :::
Custom orders are started with a down payment of 50%. We accept VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER, AMEX, DEBIT/CHECK CARD, Zelle bank transfers to [email protected], money orders, wire transfers, and cash. All sales are final & down payment in non-refundable.
4 >> WE e-mail detailed pdf copies of your sales & work order to you following the consult :::
Charissa will process your down payment and e-mail you a detailed sales order & work order showing the board specifications, order details, payment & shipping information so you will have copies of all of this for your own records.
5 >> lead time & rush options :::
Custom orders are completed in approximately 6-12 weeks with our present level of demand, depending on a variety of variables. We offer various rush expedite options for those who need a quicker or guaranteed turnaround. Standard turnaround time estimates are approximate & may fluctuate in order to maintain our vision for quality & precision in light of high demand. We will call or e-mail you when your board is nearly finished. At that time we will process final payment and arrange for pickup or shipping, depending upon your preference.

"But I'm not good enough for a custom!"
Many surfers say, “I’m not good enough to need a custom board”. The truth is that having Todd walk with you through detailing your board to be right for you is equally as important to the beginner, intermediate or seasoned surfer at any stage of their surfing progression, enhancing the stoke you enjoy during those precious hours in the waves.
Getting on the right board at each stage of your surfing journey saves you frustration, money and precious time wasted on the wrong board, when you could be investing time and energies into progressing on the right board.
“I believe a magic board is as important and life-changing to the working class surfer’s journey
as it is to the best on the world’s talent scale.”
–Todd
