From Deposit to First Wave
We sit down and talk about your surfing, your level, your goals, the waves you ride, and what you want from a board. If you've taken the quiz, we use those results too.
I shape your board by hand in the bay. Every dimension is tailored: rocker, rails, concave, fin placement, all based on our design session conversation.
Professional glassing, sanding, and finishing. You choose the glass schedule: standard for durability or lighter for performance. Custom colour and artwork available.
Pick up your board and hit the water. I'll walk you through the design choices and how to get the most out of it. Feedback welcome, it helps me refine future builds for you.
Build Your Estimate
Start with the base price and toggle add-ons to see how the cost builds. This is an estimate. Your final price is confirmed in the Design Session.
Design Session deposit ($150) is credited toward this total.
Come Prepared
You don't need to know anything about board design. But if you want to get the most out of the session, spend a few minutes thinking about these three things:
- 1. What are the main waves you typically surf? Beach break, point break, reef — hollow and fast, or soft and slow?
- 2. What board are you riding now? What do you like about it? What do you wish it did better?
- 3. What is the one thing you want to improve most in your surfing?
That's it. Freddy handles the rest.
"Still in Bali. The board you shaped me was pure magic — I surfed some pretty heavy waves with it and felt so comfortable. Even made a proper barrel. I'm framing it on my wall for sure. Boards are strong too — while all the Al Merrick boys had snapped boards and dings."
