Said about Joe's logs
Love my new custom log and middy, thanks Joe and the boys at Cross, knowledgeable and friendly shapers
Joe was recommended to me by some friends, he did an incredible job fixing a ding in my longboard. He does really high quality repairs and you can tell he’s a master at his craft. Such a genuine and lovely person too. I will come back to get a custom log in the near future!! Thank you Joe :)

HOW JOE TAILORS IT
Every board starts with a free consultation about how you surf: your ability, height, weight, fitness and the waves you ride. Joe then shapes, glasses and finishes your Nude | Longboard by hand in the factory, so you deal with the person doing the work from the first chat to the finished board.

He works with blanks and materials from South Coast Foam, Burford Blanks and Shapers Manufacturers Co, and every board leaves with grub screws and a leash rope.

What riders say
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.
Great place, Joe is so friendly and helpful, and his custom boards are just totally beautiful! Highly recommend.
Would highly recommend Joe to help design and make your custom board, the time and care taken to make it perfect is fantastic!
Repairs I’ve seen him do you wouldn’t even know was there, wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Is the Nude good for noseriding?
Yes. The nose is carefully crafted for comfortable noseriding, with a full rolled belly from the midpoint to a squashed tail and 50/50 rails.
How long does a custom Nude | Longboard take, and what comes with it?
Boards are ready 4 to 6 weeks from purchase. Every board comes with grub screws and a leash rope.
Can I have it in EPS or Carbon Fiber?
Yes. Boards are built in PU or EPS, and Carbon Fiber is available on the whole range. Joe will talk through which suits how you surf. Read EPS or PU.
Do I need to come into the factory?
No. Call or text Joe on 0422 435 689, or drop into the factory at 2/14 Nuban St, Currumbin Waters, Monday to Friday 9am to 4:30pm and Saturday 9am to 12pm. You can contact Joe 24/7, 7 days a week.
Is a longboard good for beginners?
Yes. The Nude is made for beginner to advanced surfers, and a longboard is the most stable platform if you are learning as an adult: it catches the wave before it has properly formed and gives you the highest wave count. Think twice if you mainly surf beach breaks with a shore dump.
How much does a longboard surfboard cost?
A custom Nude | Longboard starts from $1,600 AUD, hand shaped to your size in Currumbin Waters. Solid colour laps and a matt finish are included, and extras such as gloss, sprays and inlays are priced at your free consultation.
