We do not make “pop out” or molded boards. All our boards are hand-shaped by expert shapers. Our standard shapes are roughed out on a C & C duplicating machine.

Over the years we have come up with standard shapes that work well for specific surf conditions and styles of riding. These shapes constantly evolve as we work to perfect them.

We still offer custom boards at our discretion. We reserve the right to say: “No, I’m sorry that board idea makes no sense to me, I can’t in good conscience do that, but how about ...?” People can fill out a custom board REQUEST form at our ocean stores. Regular Patagonia stores can take custom orders if there’s a trained/approved point person for walking the customer through the process. Otherwise the customer can contact us directly. We can do airbrushes and resin tints (light colors only), but we are not responsible for damage due to heat absorption from the sun. We no longer sell raw materials to the public.

Please email sales@fcdsurfboards.com for more information on custom shapes.
