This Instructables is a video series on how to build your own surfboard from scratch. The forum is very friendly and other builders are willing to help, just remember to use the search feature first before asking a question. I came across the website and it is an excellent resource for surfboard builders.

When I first started getting into making board I had no idea where to start, I did a ton of research and just started by buying some foam at Home Depot and started shaping. Anyone with some basic tools can do it! It is very rewarding to take raw materials and end up with a surfboard you can ride.Įven if your board doesn't come out perfect it will still be totally ride-able. If you are worried that making your own board is outside your skill level, don't be intimidated. Besides you can custom shape the board to the waves to your local conditions. It's cool to see your quiver grow and improve your surfing and shaping abilities. Just like surfing making surfboards is additive. I have been making boards on and off for the last 10 years, I've lost count on how many I have made but I think over 10 for sure.
