Frequently Asked Questions (Surfboards)

How long will a custom board take after finalizing an order?

Our estimated time of completion is 3-6 weeks on all custom orders. Our time starts after the deposit has been made and all details are finalized by the shaper and customer. If you have artwork being printed then the time will begin when the artwork arrives.



Can I get a board rush ordered?

If you need to rush an order, send us an email with an explanation and time frame. We will do our best to accommodate. If possible, please let us know of any time restrictions before placing your order.



Why does the cost of a model increase depending on size?

Our price scale is based on material cost. Bigger board = more material.



Can I change anything about the shape of a model (tail, nose, rails ect.)?

We offer full customization of all of all our shapes. If too much is changed, the board might not be classified the model you were looking at but we can just make it a custom.



Can I get colour on my board?

We offer resin tints or foam stains for an extra cost on all custom orders. We do not offer air brushing right now but foam stains are very similar. Send us a photo of what you are looking for and a pantone number and we will provide a quote.
