The surfboard brands of the world

There's no straight answer to the question of what surfboard companies are the best in the world. But there is a perfect surfboard for your surfing style and experience, and anticipating the needs of all types of surfers is precisely what a good shaper does.

Over 400,000 surfboards are bought worldwide each year. The biggest companies and most prestigious shapers in the surfboard industry are located in the USA, Australia, and Europe.

In 2008, local artisans shaped 26 percent of the surfboards sold in the USA.

Polyurethane (PU) and expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) with epoxy formulas still rule the market.

Still, eco-friendly core materials such as cork, fungi, and wood are gaining enthusiasts and a new generation of customers.

There are thousands of surfboard builders and brands. The most experienced manufacturers have been working in the shaping room for more than five decades.

Today, and despite the computer-aided design (CAD) support, surfboard shapers are still making dreams come true with their bare hands.
