Go DIY with surfboard shaping supplies, NZ

For many, DIY board-building is all part of the experience of the sport. It’s something that goes way back through the history of surf culture, and it’s a sure-fire way to add your own unique spin to the board beneath your feet.

If you’re just starting out, we recommend attempting to shape a fat fish you can play about on. You might not make high-performance boards that rival the legendary brands out there, but you can have a lot of fun doing it. Take it from us: building a functional and stylish board from your own home is doable - with the right surfboard materials.

From preparing the stringer to cutting the shape, adding your artwork and nailing the finishing and coating, shop the surfboard making supplies you need for the entire process. Then it’s down to you to test out your creation and actually ride the board! 

The surfboard materials you need to get started

We reckon the best thing about building your own board is the ability to custom-shape it to meet your local conditions. A close second is the custom design possibilities - and let’s not forget the sense of achievement of turning a bunch of surfboard making supplies into a real, functional board.
