Joe is a legend and a master of fixing boards! Brought multiple of mine back from the dead.
I got my surfboard repaired by Joe. The damage was quite bad, but I was really surprised by how good it looked after the repair. It turned out even better than I expected! He is a kind guy and a true professional. Thank you so much, Joe!
A friend gave me the details of Cross Design Surf Repairs, and spoke highly of them after Jo (proprietor) had fixed up their Jet Ski, this was also insanely good timing as my racing mal decided to delaminate whilst out in the surf the prior weekend. I had looked at doing a DIY job, but due to the extent of the damage, decided this was a job for a professional. I dropped the board to Cross Design, explained what had happened and informed that I just needed a quick and dirty repair to get the old beast back in the water. Picked up the board today, and it looks amazing, I was expecting a rough patch up, as that's what I had asked for, instead I have what looks and feels to be a brand new board, it's actually looking better than before the delamination occurred. Jo informed that he couldn't let it out the shop unless he was happy with the result. I also asked a question about a board my son is fixing up, he gave me a detailed analysis on how to fix it, even showed a board in his shop that had a similar issue to give a visual of how to do the work, and even offered to assist over the phone if he needed anything. This is above and beyond the service I was expecting in all aspects. I'd recommend Cross Design to everyone, an exceptional repair competed, next level customer service and a joy to see someone who takes such pride in their work.
I brought my 14-foot stand-up paddleboard in to get some cracks repaired on the bottom, and I couldn’t be happier with the result! The quality of his work is absolutely amazing. The board is strong, the finish is perfect, and it looks brand new again! Highly recommend his work to anyone needing board repairs. Thanks so much, mate! Really appreciate your awesome work!
A great little shop. Joe is thorough and caring and all for a very reasonable price. Can’t wait to get back on my mini mal now that she’s repaired. Cross Designs is definitely becoming my new local. HIGHLY recommend
Amazing finish and good prices on two boards I got fixed. One and old west coast single fin. Back to even better then it would have been new 40 odd years ago with all its old scars still in place 🙌 legend highly recommend
Solid work!
Looking for someone to trust with your sacred surf board? If you’re like me your board is a part of you. It’s like a pet, it’s family. Not everyone can be trusted with something so dear to you. Well, look no further. You’ve found Joe at Cross Design. The man exudes passion for surfing and craftsmanship. Every fine detail is poured over. Every board is treated as if it’s his own. Every worry you may have is put to ease with his skill set and experience.
Plus, ya know, you get to support local. So get into the shop asap. Anything from dings to the brand new thing. Joe’s got your board and he’s got your back.
Thanks Joe!
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!
Joe was kind enough to give me some insight into his process, and seeing the precision and passion he puts into his custom boards and repairs was awesome. You can tell immediately that he isn’t cutting corners. He’s an artist who respects the craft.
Whether you need a professional-grade repair or you're looking to get a custom board shaped by someone who actually cares, Joe is your man.
Came to Joe for a ding repair and a pressure dent, and the result was beyond my expectations. The dings were repaired so well and professionally, and the pressure dent is no longer visible at all. I picked up my board and it looked brand new again.
Joe is an amazing professional, and you can tell he is truly passionate about his work. Would 100% recommend Cross Design to anyone!
Joe is an absolute lord!!
I’ve had many many boards repaired by Joe and he’s a wizard. An absolute master of his craft, fin boxes, creases, big dings… joe is your guy! Your boards will come back stronger and better than they were before. Trust me.
Colour matching has always been on point too!!
He’s a great shaper/repairer and an even better person!!
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.
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 :)
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!
Our repair for Joe was a bit different - our caravan shower base had cracked. Joe did a top quality repair, painstakingly colour matching to the rest of the shower. Highly recommend Joe for any type of fibreglass repairs. He is a pleasure to deal with also

Joes repairs are amazing! Have had 3 boards fixed by him, including a fin box and thunderbolt board and they were all 10/10. Perfectly colour matched and so professional. Good prices and just a lovely guy. Would recommend to anyone and will defs be back!
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.
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.
Have had multiple great experiences with Joe. Fixed my surfboard twice and then even helped fix the fibreglass pool at my business. Highly recommend his services, great guy and did a stellar job every time.
Joe from Cross Design surfboards has done a fantastic job on many boards for me. Old restoration work through to new boards, all super professional and I'm a very happy customer. I would highly recommend!
Second time getting my boards repaired by Joe and super happy again! He fixed two boards for me and the colour matching was perfect. Great repairs and super friendly service. Thanks Joe! 🤙

I took my surfboard in to fix a huge ding, and they gave it back to me looking like new. You should definitely trust your boards to them.

Best ding repair shop on the Gold Coast, Joe and the crew always look after me in the best way. Their service is so good it makes me forget where the dings even happened.
