9’1” Longboard
9’1” ~22 3/4”~2 7/8” - 68L
A slightly detuned version of my progressive nose rider to suit smaller waves.
9'2" Longboard
9’2” ~ 23' ~ 3 - 74L
Progressive nose rider specifically for small waves. If you surf the South coast in Portugal this board is a must!
9’2” Longboard
9’2” ~22 3/4” ~3 - 70L
A well balanced combination of nose ride ability and manoverability. If your main board is a longboard you can't go wrong with one of these. This one was for Paulina. Enjoy my friend and let me ride it again please.
9’1” Zé's Longboard
9’1”~22 3/4”~2 7/8” 69L
Progressive Noserider. If you only longboard and only want one board this is a great choice. Will hold a great line through a powerful carve and also is a fun platform to nose ride on.
If you walk into a surf shop you will find that there is plenty of surfboards to choose from. They could be a good fit, but only a custom will be the perfect fit.

REQUEST
Send me a message or call!
You’d love to order a custom shaped board? That’s a great start. Send me a message or give me a call and we can set a date and time for a casual meeting or phone call.
BRIEFING
Let’s get to know each other!
In the next step I need to get to know you a little. We will talk about your ideas and wishes considering a custom shaped surfboard. Your physical abilities, surf skills and what kind of waves you want to surf. Together we will discuss what kind of designs would fit your needs.
ORDER & DESIGN
Let’s get started!
You are excited for your new board. Great, it’s time to log in your order! After you transferred the deposit, I will start designing your surfboard on my 3D program and will send you a few screenshots of my ideas. We will discuss final changes and complete your design!
SHAPING
Something exciting is happening!
As soon as we’ve settled on the final designs, I will order all the materials and start the shaping process. In this stage all you need to do is to be excited and patient.
CURING
Now we lean back and wait!
From the moment I finished laminating I recommend 3 – 4 weeks curing depending on the weather (colder months need more time). This will make sure your board is durable and strong. (Usually I have the board at my house for curing. You can pick it up already of course and let it cure at your house.)
YOUR NEW CUSTOM BOARD
Your board is ready to be picked up!
It’s the day of the days! Time to meet, get your board and pay the remainder of the costs. I hope you enjoy the board and please send me some feedback as it is great for fine-tuning new designs. I am always striving to make improvements. Everyday is a learning day.
The right custom shaped surfboard can enhance your strengths and improve weak points.
An incredible shaper who continues to hone his talents and get better and better. Board quality, shape, and design are all among the best I’ve ever seen; I’m now the proud owner of three of Junior’s boards, the first a minimal designed by him and my brother as a gift, the second ‘performance minimal’ for charging the big waves in Ireland, the third a specially designed wake surf, which rides as beautifully as it looks. All are up on the wall as art when they’re not being ridden. I think a longboard next sir?!? Or a short board?!? Or……. 😉

Making boards is not about learning theory. To master this skill, you need to shape a thousands boards – probably even more.
I am always trying new things. Shaping new boards and surfing them. Seeing what I like, which waves the board is great for and if there is anything I can improve. Therefore I have a few second-hand boards available.
Give me a shout if you need to know more information about certain boards. I’ll also give you recommendations if your size, surf skill and waves you want to ride are compatible with the boards I’ve made.
