Why carbon over fibreglass
Strength for its weight
Carbon fibre is strong and light, so a board can be tough without carrying extra weight.
Durability
A carbon build is made to last, for surfers who want long-term performance from one board.
Response
Carbon gives a lively, responsive feel under your feet.
Something different
The weave shows through the glass, so the cloth becomes part of the look, from black hexagons to natural flax.
Carbon boards from the workshop

Riders on their customs
Love my new custom log and middy, thanks Joe and the boys at Cross, knowledgeable and friendly shapers
Great place, Joe is so friendly and helpful, and his custom boards are just totally beautiful! Highly recommend.
Awesome boards and great service. Joe is absolutely nailing it, and his passion really shows through. The custom sticks are works of art, and he's a magician with a ding. So, repair or new board, either way I whole heartedly recommend.
