TESTIMONIALS

Nothing beats hearing from the people riding our boards.

Every board that leaves the bay is built with a surfer, not just for one. From first-timers finding more waves to experienced surfers chasing performance, we're proud to create boards that help people enjoy their surfing more.

Here's what some of our customers have to say about their experience riding Aitken Surfboards and working directly with Lou throughout the process.

  • "The board recommendation was spot on. Instead of selling me something I didn't need, Lou suggested a model that suited my surfing perfectly."

    — Jack T (Auckland)

  • "My wave count has gone through the roof since getting this board. More waves, more fun, and more confidence every session."

    —Briar (Gisborne)

  • "I've been surfing for over 20 years and this is genuinely one of the most fun boards I've ridden. Fast, forgiving, and surprisingly versatile."

    • Kees (Mangawhai)

  • ''Lou went above and beyond to help create my dream board. From shape to colours and everything in between. Nga mihi loulou!

  • "You can buy a surfboard anywhere. What makes Aitken Surfboards different is the knowledge, honesty, and genuine passion that comes with every custom build.
