ORIGINAL CHAMPIONSHIP BOARDS

Hand made in Britain from five veneers of premium grade hardwoods. Our racing stripe boards are significantly lighter and thinner than the classic steam bent ply boards - this gives them a little more flex in the surf.

Unlike the steam bent boards that are made from manufactured sheets of ply our championship boards are individually laminated from sheets of veneer and then vacuum pressed on a bespoke press. The boards are then hot branded with our logo and Made in Britain stamp before being coated with a satin polyurethane finish to provide UV protection and waterproofing.

ORIGINAL CREST RIDER BOARDS

This is the perfect "one size fits all" board (well for almost all adults!) A board that can be used by pro surfers that is also the best board for the complete novice to learn on as it has more buoyancy than the championship or heritage boards but is still super light.

We were inspired to re-create these boards as they were

Voted the best board to buy in "The Art of Surf riding" 1953 guide

Hand made in Britain these boards are made from a wood called Gaboon wood which is " sufficiently light yet durable and at the same time waterproof". Like our championship boards the crest rider boards are individually laminated from sheets of veneer and then vacuum pressed on a bespoke press.

CLASSIC BRITISH PLY BELLYBOARDS

All the boards shown below are hand crafted in Britain from Birch plywood. Individually cut and then steam bent in the traditional way to give each board its own unique curve or nose rocker. Just like they made them in the 1950s for the beach shops along the Atlantic Coasts.

Our boards are then either yacht varnished by hand or given a professional spray painted finish. Our original Surfboard logo and designs are applied in the highest grade boat vinyl.

This size is suitable for most adults and children from about 11 years old
