My name is Mark Riley and I have been shaping balsawood surfboards since 1996.
Unlike the mass produced surfboards coming in from Asia and other places, I enjoy using my own hands to create, custom build and shape balsawood surfboards.
Everyone has different requirements and the serious surfer demands his/her board built to their own individual specifications.
I strongly believe that only a shaper who is a surfer and understands the history of surfing (I have been surfing for over 30 years) can create a board that will fulfill the desires of the person who is searching for the ultimate board.
I personally oversee the selection of balsawood,the cutting,laminating and the shaping of every board that leaves the shop.
Every board is unique and of the highest quality. Most importantly my boards are entirely Australian made and are guaranteed to outlast and outperform the imported "pop outs". We use tried and tested materials to ensure a quality creation. I import my own quality balsa from South America and regularly return there to ensure the quality is of the highest standard.I have been importing this balsa for over 12 years.
All other materials and labour are 100% Australian.
