Retro Fish
From $1,200 AUD
A fast and highly responsive surfboard. Crafted in homage to the iconic fish outlines of the '80s and '90s, it has classic retro charm while delivering exceptional speed down the line.
2ft to 6ft · Beginner to Advanced

Duo
From $1,200 AUD
A meticulously crafted evolution of the classic fish design. Its refined tail outline gives improved transitioning onto the rail and more control in powerful waves, and it really excels in small surf.
2ft to 6ft · Beginner to Advanced

Asym
From $1,400 AUD
Asymmetrical design comes into its own riding point breaks, utilising each rail individually. An innovative shape that could be a valuable addition to your quiver.
2ft to 6ft · Intermediate to Advanced

Blade
From $1,000 AUD
The Blade Mk3 is a high-performance shortboard crafted for medium-sized, slower and less powerful waves: the ultimate performance grovelling machine, and one of our most adaptable boards to date.
2ft to 6ft · Intermediate to Advanced
-
Asym | Mid
From $1,400 AUD
Outstanding performance in a wide range of wave conditions. A swallow tail on your toe side keeps speed and stability, while a pin tail on the heel side gives exceptional hold through turns.
3ft to 6ft · Beginner to Advanced
-
Nude | Longboard
From $1,600 AUD
A contemporary take on the classic longboard. Its carefully crafted nose makes for comfortable, enjoyable noseriding, with finely tuned 50/50 rails for a lively, nimble feel.

Colour it your way
Resin tints, swirls, custom sprays and pin lines are mixed and laid by hand in Joe's Currumbin Waters factory. Don't see your shade? He'll mix it for you.
Set under the glass
Pressed flowers, shells, feathers or your own photos, set into the board beneath the fibreglass so they become part of it.
Riders on their customs
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 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!
Love my new custom log and middy, thanks Joe and the boys at Cross, knowledgeable and friendly shapers

Joe keeps refining his outlines with feedback from the surfers he works with. Team free surfer Zac Martens rides the Blade, the Duo, a fish and the Nude, and the first Blade went to Kobe Martens.

Before you order
What size should I ride?
It depends on the model and on you, which is what the free consultation is for. Some guides from the boards themselves: the Blade is ridden 1 inch shorter than your height. How to size a custom surfboard
EPS or PU?
Neither is better: they feel different. PU sits a little lower in the water and feels smooth and settled. EPS is lighter, floats higher and feels lively, which helps in small, soft waves. Any model can be made in PU or EPS, or in Carbon Fiber. Joe will help you choose in your consultation. EPS or PU: the full guide

Each board is hand-crafted, so delivery is about 4 to 6 weeks from the date of purchase.
