Aitken Surfboards builds premium custom boards for every rider.

Not sure what board you need?

Good. That's what I'm here for.

I shape surfboards around how you actually surf. From everyday fun boards and twins to performance shortboards and longboards.

Tell me what you're riding, where you surf and what you want your next board to do. I'll point you in the right direction.

WHO'S MAKING YOUR BOARD?

Hey, I’m Lou.

I’ve been surfing for 20+ years and shaping boards for a decade. I started surfing at 10 at Sandy Bay, and somehow that obsession with riding waves turned into a life of making them for other people.

Every surfer is different, so I don’t believe in just putting you on a board because it’s the “right” model. I want to know how you surf, what you’re riding now and what you want to get out of your next board.

Then we build it around you.
