Joe did an amazing job repairing my longboard. The colour match is perfect and like new again. It was finished within a few days and the whole process was very easy with no hassle dropping it off or picking it up. Really happy with the repair and would definitely recommend!

Amazing service from Joe! I sent a text about repairing a hole in our son’s Race One fibreglass nipper board whilst on holidays and he responded straight away. He managed to get it fixed within the tight timeframe we had before our flight home, which we really appreciated. The repair looks fantastic and the colour match is spot on. Great workmanship, quick turnaround and really easy to deal with. Highly recommend!

Had my surfboard shaped here by Joe. Connection at first sight. Great human besides being an excellent shaper. He understood straight away what I needed.
Now every time I take the board out of the bag I smile. Been getting heaps of compliments from other surfers too whenever they see it.
Highly recommend.
