Shaper: You! Specs: Complete range of build-your-own kits from 5’6”Fish to 12’ SUPs. Ability: If you did woodwork, played Lego or ever built a jigsaw puzzle, then you can build a board with these kits. Description: Buy a complete kit, construct your own board. There’s no better reward than surfing a board you’ve built. Kits are CNC-cut for perfect shape and have been tried, tested and refined to create performance surfboards. These are no wall-hangers! Construction: Your first board will take around 30-40 hours. Some can build a board in a week, others take months, but the satisfaction of a complete board is the same - pure stoke! Fins: You decide. Disclaimer: Responsibility for wives/husbands/ girlfriends/boyfriends annoyance at the lack of quality time spent with aforementioned partner not taken by Surfing Green or any of its affiliates during the construction of your board.
