Shaped by Joe
Built from scratch
Joe has shaped his own stand up paddle boards, including the Performance SUP, and made custom paddles sized to each customer's height. Knowing how a board is built is how a repair goes back in properly.

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.

Questions
Before You
Bring It In
Still unsure? Call or text Joe on 0422 435 689. More answers in the FAQ.
Can you repair my stand up paddle board?
Yes. Dings, cracked rails, nose and tail damage and fin boxes on fibreglass, epoxy and carbon SUPs. Joe has shaped his own stand up paddle boards, so he knows how they go together. Plastic (polyethylene) SUPs need welding instead: see plastic welding.
Do you repair foil boards and foils?
Foil boards, yes: there is a foils job sheet in the factory for dings and colour matching. For damage to the foil itself (mast, fuselage or wings), send photos and Joe will tell you straight whether it is repairable.
Do you fix surf skis and SLSC craft?
Yes. Dings, split seams, venturi flutes and colour matching on surf skis, plus club craft for surf lifesaving clubs.
Can you repair a paddle?
Yes. Joe makes custom paddles himself, so chipped or cracked blades and shafts are familiar work. Send a photo of the damage.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the craft and the damage, so every job is quoted from photos. Close-ups of the damage and one wider shot of the whole craft get you the fastest price. The quote is free and there is no obligation.
How long will it take?
It depends on the damage and how busy the factory is. Ask when you send the photos and Joe will give you a straight answer before any work starts.
Where is the work done?
In our factory at 2/14 Nuban St, Currumbin Waters, on the southern Gold Coast. Walk-ins are welcome during shop hours, or text photos first so Joe can quote before you bring it in.
Do you repair nipper boards and surf rescue boards?
Yes. Nipper boards, rescue boards, malibus and skis for surf lifesaving clubs are repaired and colour matched in the factory, and one visiting family had their son's nipper board fixed before their flight home. Send photos for a free quote.
