Revolver Surf Club
If you know, you know.
It’s Friday — a shoutout to the old school survivors.
The ones still showing up, still paddling out, still talking story in the car park.
Sun-beaten, surf-soaked, and shaped by years in the water.
Keep it real, keep it salty, keep hand shaping and keep the culture alive.

The Puzzle Handboard
Made from a leftover surfboard blank and wrapped in real 3K carbon fiber—this isn’t some cheap plastic toy or mass-produced brand junk.
This is pure fun, built with soul, and a touch of Puzzle style.
Not for everyone.
Just for surfers like us.

Project: “U to OU”
You’ll soon see why I called it that…
Yes — it’s an asymmetrical board… nothing new there.
But here’s the twist: I’m turning it into a twin-tip kite surfboard. 4’6 1/2” x 17 5/8” x 2”
That means fins on both ends, straps, and tomorrow… a full carbon wrap.
@stephen.irving.754 is already curious 👀
Might work, might not — but honestly, who cares?
It’s all about the fun.
What do you think @alastairmoule @jay_kitesurf @shleegoldman —
Am I crazy, or could this twin-tip surfboard actually go off?
Drop your wisdom 🙏🏼😉🤙🏼
Also: the carbon-wrapped WOMPER?
No brains behind it — just pure Puzzle playtime in the water.

Speedster+ edging closer to the finish line.
Let’s be honest — sometimes less is more. Agree?
This one’s a custom build for a client: my signature model, finished in a clean custom colour with a black centre stringer and 6oz volan all over it…
At 6’3½”, it’s all about drive, flow, and just the right touch of style.
Twin fin setup with an extra centre box, giving you the freedom to switch between twin or single — a true all-day, all-conditions board.

Progress this morning ⚡️🧩
The carbon fibre strapless kiteboard is looking 🔥 — with quad channels and an abstract resin pour flowing over the carbon like art in motion.
The Speedster+ just got its first hot coat and it’s already a beauty — twin fin set-up with an optional single fin for mixing it up, depending on the wave and your mood.
Some boards aren’t made for every session…
They’re made for that one perfect wave — and the joy it gives.
You feel me?

Wrapping up this 6’3 Speedster — a signature design for a local surfer — with 6oz Volan cloth and epoxy resin over a PU core. It’s one of the most proven combinations for strength, durability, and performance. People talk about eco-friendly boards — but the truth is, the most sustainable board is the one that lasts. Build it right, ride it for years. @puzzlesurfboards

Shop supervisor’s in today — making sure every board passes the sniff test 🐶.
True fact: I dreamed of being a vet when I was younger. Didn’t become one, but spent years as a dog groomer — always clicked better with animals anyway. Now I shape boards and I love the process . People are weird — animals make sense. Let’s keep making magic foam sticks.

A bit of progress today on my end — laid down the red and blue lines on the Speedster, and it’s looking insane with that black stringer down the middle. Got the quad channel strapless kitesurf board laminated too — it’s getting wrapped in 3K carbon fiber. Just keeping the ball rolling, because nothing in life comes for free.

One of the hundreds of checks I do along the way…
There’s always that little voice whispering in my ear:
“It’s fine, Rafael. Just leave it. Walk away, fucker.” 🤣
But then I spot one more thing here, a little tweak there… and time keeps flying.
Truth is, if you shape boards, ride them, or build anything by hand—you need to know the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi:
Finding beauty in imperfection.
🪚 That’s the soul of custom.

Speedster+ getting ready soon. Always a pleasure to handshape someone’s new board — but this one, I love everything about.
I designed it with loads of stability, paddle power, and speed in mind — perfect for those not-so-good days we get more often than we’d like.
It’s all about the full nose, big squash tail, and that single to double concave with a slight V off the tail.

We start shaping thinking we’re making it just for you.
The surfer, the rider, the dreamer.
But over time, truth kicks in—
Maybe we’re chasing something deeper. Maybe we’re shaping to please ourselves.
Our curiosity. Our madness. Our love for it all.
And maybe that’s not a bad thing.
Because when the board is honest—when it comes from that place—
It speaks to the right people.
Hot Sushi in full black. 5ft of attitude.

Work in progress, ladies and gents.
Displacement hulls aren’t for everyone — and that’s exactly the point. They’re for surfers chasing feel over flash. It’s not about tricks, it’s about flow. A different ride for a different kind of surfer.

At Puzzle, no two boards are ever the same.
These two beauties might both wear orange, but just like us, they each carry their own character, soul, and magic.
One’s bold and fiery, the other warm and gentle — different by nature, yet equally powerful in their own way.
Because magic boards aren’t just made… they’re felt.

Every board we shape at Puzzle Surfboards carries its own story.
Its own purpose.
Its own set of dreams and expectations.
But in the end, they’re all made for one thing — to surf.
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been chasing waves for years, these boards are shaped to be surfed.
And just look at this lineup: 8’6, 8’3, 8’0 — pure magic under your feet.

Let’s crack the code of Displacement Myth Approach by @fantasticacid shaping this dreamy hull to spice up a rainy UK day.
Unlike your usual shortboard that skims and zips on top of the water, a displacement hull slices through it. Think glide, not pump. Flow, not flick.
It’s shaped with a rounded belly, soft curves, and a love for clean, open waves. No sharp turns or tricks — just pure trim and soul surfing.
Would you be brave enough to ride one?
Yes — but only if the wave’s clean enough to let it do its thing.

Fresh today
Black on black hot sushi retro fish – 5ft of pure spice.
Forget my pick puzzle tee, this one steals the show.
BUT… hold on a sec – let’s get real for a minute.
Black boards look sick. Sleek. Mysterious.
But they’ve got baggage.
When the sun’s out, that dark deck’s soaking up heat like a sauna.
Too much heat =
• Delams (foam + glass start to separate)
• Pressure dings appear faster
• Epoxy can soften and twist
• Wax melts like your patience
So if you grab a black board – love it loud, but treat it right.
Keep it shaded. Keep it cool. Keep it in the water, not baking in your car.
Ride it like a rocket, just don’t cook it like Crispy bacon

First post of the week from Puzzle HQ.
The Turbo Glider 8’3” mid-length just got its first layer of epoxy @resin.research over that 6oz Volan deck—looking like it already wants to fly.

End of the week flow…
Finished up this mid-length 8’6” beauty, and honestly — she’s everything a real surfboard should be. Simple. Classic. Purpose-built.
Clean traditional lines, single to double concave, squash tail, round nose — no gimmicks. Just that timeless shape that feels like home under your feet. The kind of board that reminds you why you started surfing in the first place.
Because sometimes, the best boards aren’t the ones chasing trends — they’re the ones that just work. That help you catch more waves, trim better, turn smoother.
And when they look this good doing it? That’s just a bonus.
Next week, more magic.

This fresh 8’6” mini-log just rolled out for the legendary @ruthmulvie—built to last, ride fast, and take a beating.
This morning is all about epoxy resin—why? Because it’s just better. 90% of my boards are glassed with @resin.research epoxy, and here’s why:
1. Stronger & Lighter – No waterlogging, fewer dings, and a board that actually lasts.
2. No Banana Boards – Polyester resin yellows faster—epoxy stays clean.
3. Healthier – Cheap poly resin stinks like death. Epoxy? Way less toxic.
Most big brands use the cheapest shit they can find—I don’t.

8ft @usblanks by @puzzlesurfboards
The day a board is delivered is a mix of happiness, excitement, and the satisfaction of seeing something come to life. Every handmade board carries a story—the struggles, the passion, the experience behind it. As shapers, we bring all of that together, chasing that moment when someone looks at their board and says, “Magic.”
Everything is magic anyway—just enjoy the process.

The Hot Sushi – wow, what can I say?
This strapless kite surfboard rides like a dream. It’s a completely reimagined retro fish, scaled down to 5ft and under. I added an incredible bottom channel at the center and went with the classic thruster fin setup for better hold at high speeds while preventing unwanted pivoting on fast turns.
The rails? Soft at the entry, sharp through the mid-to-tail for extra control. Yesterday’s conditions weren’t perfect—tiny waves, messy wind—but damn, this board still felt unreal underfoot.
Trying something different, pushing the limits—that’s what Puzzle is all about. Magic boards for surfers like us.

Shaping an 8’3” turbo glider, Diamond Tail Mid-Length for @harrisclassics
I’ve shaped a lot of diamond tails over the years, and I keep coming back to them for a reason—I just love how they feel underfoot.
There’s this perfect balance between flow and control. It glides when you want it to, but the moment you lean in, it responds with just the right bite.
On a mid-length like this 8’3”, that feeling is even better. It keeps the smooth, effortless trim but lets you snap a turn without feeling stuck. For me, it’s one of those designs that just works—every time.

The JOAT – Jack of All Trades
This 8ft minimal is the perfect balance between stability, paddle power, and progression. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, this board keeps things easy and fun.
The 2+1 fin setup lets you tweak the ride to match your style, and that green-tinted epoxy bottom?
Clean and built to last.
Sometimes, the right board makes all the difference.

I've been shaping surfboards for nearly a decade. Started with shortboards and kitesurf boards, then fell hard for fish, hybrids, and alternative shapes. My friends and mentors always told me to go bigger—because that's what surfers need. But with limited space, I stuck to smaller boards, shaping in a cabin and laminating in a second workshop.
This year, things changed. A better space, more freedom. Now, I’m shaping mid-lengths and longboards, adding my touch, my vision. I take advice, learn from the best—but in the end, it's my hands where the magic happens.

Full swing in the bay this morning, doing everything to get custom boards out without cutting corners.
Quality over quantity, always. If you’re after something off the rack, plenty of factory boards with shiny logos are out there.
But if you want a board built for you, you know where to find us.
Today’s lineup: Hot Sushi, a retro fish drenched in full black poly tint, looking mean. JOAT, a mid-length with a crystal-clear epoxy deck, showing off that clean brown stringer. And tomorrow? More magic coming.

The black-on-black hot sushi fish is in progress—sprayed today, and next week it gets the full black tint lamination.

The J.O.A.T – 8’0” x 22” x 2 ¾” @usblanks handcrafted
Super stoked to start laminating this mid-length beauty—simple, clean, and made to glide. Just waiting on the customer to confirm the color, then we’re off!
Honestly, every time I shape a board, I get way too attached. Letting it go feels like betrayal—like sending a kid off to college before they even unpack their bags at home.
I spend hours running my hands over every inch, tweaking, refining, obsessing over the details.
And yeah, my hands aren’t perfect, but that’s the point. No machine, no robot, no mass production line can put soul into a surfboard.
Craftsmanship is alive, and I hope it never dies.

@usblanks this brown wood stringer is on another level.
The color is so rich, so deep—it’s like nature itself carved a perfect line through the foam.
Now, how do you convince a surfer dreaming of a green board to leave this beauty untouched?
Let the stringer do the talking, let it shine like a dream…
But hey, we all know—the customer is the artist. Pink, blue, green, orange… it’s your board, your vision. I’m just the hands that bring it to life.

Right now, I handle everything—shaping, laminating, sanding, and everything in between. It’s not just a choice; it’s how it has to be.
There are great laminators in the UK, but they’re spread out. Sending a board to Cornwall, for example, adds cost and risks damaging a handcrafted surfboard. So, doing it all myself is both a necessity and a choice.
I know dedicated glassers and sanders are on another level, but every board I glass teaches me something new. For now, I’m just enjoying the process—who knows what tomorrow brings?

The original Mini Simmons was already a speed machine, but I redesigned mine to work for most of us—same blistering speed, just easier to ride.

Life’s tough—no doubt about it.
Everyone’s dealing with something—money, health, relationships, work… hell, even war. Some have it worse, some have it better, but let’s be real, it’s never easy.
I’m nowhere near that perfect work-life balance, but I’m working on it. One thing I’ve never lost? My work ethic. And a smile—it costs nothing. Miserable people who always complain about everything… mate, life’s not perfect, but damn, crack a smile now and then. Sometimes, that’s the best medicine.
Now, go surf.
Thanks @christ0f for the sick photos and support

Speedster – An abstract resin pour that turns into a one-of-a-kind piece of art. But then again, aren’t all handcrafted boards unique works of art?
Built to last, shaped to ride, and made for pure fun. Handmade, like no other.

Call it a mini-longboard, mid-length, or whatever you like—it’s the perfect mix of float, glide, and effortless wave-catching.
Built for beginners, intermediates, and bigger surfers who need that extra lift.
Hand-shaped with passion, crafted with dedication—Puzzle Surfboards is custom like no other.

Hand-shaping this stunning dark wood stringer US Blank into the JOAT—a Jack of All Trades mini glider.
This versatile mid-length blends the best of all worlds: stability, paddle power, speed, and classic retro glide. A perfect balance between a mini-longboard and a performance mid-length, built to cruise, trim, and turn with ease.

Let’s be real—any shaper can claim to make a magic board, right?
But the Hot Sushi? There’s only one. I redesigned it to fit our most beautiful sport. Some surfers might argue, but if you KITESURF , you know—we get to have fun when the waves are crap, dodge the heavy crowds, and just enjoy the freedom.
And now, you—yes, you—probably from my generation (I’m talking to those 40+ legends who were around when the fish first showed up in the ‘70s and then had its true revolution in the early 2000s). This is a masterpiece.
Now you can kite with it, because I’ve redesigned everything—except the soul. The outline, mentality, and functionality all stay, with full respect to Steve Lis. I love these boards. I’ve shaped three so far, and maybe it’s your turn to have a go. You can ride mine if you want—or order your own.
Oh, and I started another one today—this one’s getting the full carbon wrap. If it doesn’t work?
Fuck it, just hang it on your bedroom wall. 🤌🏼#fishsurfboard #stevelis #retrosurf #surffish #kitesurfing #surfkite #kitesurfers #kiteboardgirls #kitesurfers #kitebeach #carbon#revolution #80s #70s #surfers #uk#kite#windwaterwaves #windsurfing #windsports #puzzlesurf #puzzlesurfboards #westsussex #carbon #strong #fun #soul
The perfect blank for the hopeful. The perfect board for the right person.
It’s a PUZZLE —you just have to find your piece, and suddenly, everything clicks.
I’ve got the templates for this board. Might use one, might use two… or just wing it and hope for the best (hey, that’s the fun part, right?).
Starting with an 8’4” SPX @usblanks with a dark wood stringer, shaping it into a mini longboard. Will it be perfect? Maybe. Will it be fun? Absolutely.

🚀 Just finished shaping this one-of-a-kind strapless kite surfboard!
I’m calling it “The Jack of All Trades” – because it does it all.
✅ Round nose – for smoother landings and stability.
✅ Diamond tail – for sharp turns and explosive pop.
✅ 4 sick bottom channels – for speed and grip, even in choppy water.
You don’t see these features on kiteboards every day. That’s the Puzzle Surfboards difference—custom, like no other.

Another strapless kite surfboard in progress—because next-level boards don’t shape themselves. Full-length channels for grip, speed, and control. Locks in when you need it, loose when you don’t. Custom like no other—boards that truly click.

Hot sushi, straight out of the shaping bay! ⚡️ This retro fish kite surfboard is looking insane—Ducati red, carbon fibre ribbon tape from @easycomposites, all locked in with crystal-clear epoxy from @resin.research. The kind of board that makes you stop and stare… and maybe drool a little. Just can’t get enough of this craft.

Early start this morning, hand-shaping a beautiful strapless kite surfboard! Compact blunt nose, built for smooth glide and stability—but the tail, that’s where the magic happens. Diamond tail for quick release, extra hold, and buttery turns. This one’s built to dominate.

Hot Sushi – The Retro Fish, Reborn for #surfkite
You might be wondering—can a retro fish really work for kiting? The answer isn’t just yes; it’s hell yes.
Here’s why: Under 2” thick, 17 1/2” wide, and fine-tuned for power. The classic glide of a fish meets the precision of a thruster, giving you speed, grip, and total control under the kite. No bounce, no drag—just pure, effortless flow.
And to top it off, this insane channel from the middle to the tail adds even more drive and hold, locking you in for powerful, fluid turns.
This is your chance to break free from the same old boards and ride something that rewrites the rules.
Hot Sushi isn’t just a board; it’s an invitation to ride different, feel different, and push harder than ever before.
Dare to try it?

@puzzlesurfboards Some mornings are just full-on—shaping, gloss coating, taping cut laps, prepping gold leaf glass-on fins—non-stop. But in the middle of it all, I started shaping another special 5ft Puzzle Retro Fish #straplesskitesurf board.
I shaped this model last year, and it turned out INSANE, so while things dried next door, I jumped into another one.
Same size, same channels, same intention. But here’s the thing—because it’s HANDSHAPED, it’ll have that magic.
That little bit of imperfection that turns into perfection. That human touch no machine-made board will ever have. 🧩 Custom, like no other.#puzzlesurfboards #westsussex #surfboardart #straplesskitesurfing #custommade #usblanks #customsurfboards #surfboardshaper #surflife #kiteboard #handcrafted #kitesurfing #surfer #kitesurfgirl #kitebeach #retrosurf #fishsurfboard #art#interiordesign #surfboarddesign #magic #eastsussex #kitesurflifestyle #windsports
This morning, the clock was just a blur—somewhere around 4 a.m., but it didn’t matter. What mattered was the board: The Hug, my favourite model. A retro beauty taking shape under my hands, this one’s a bit more refined for a more expert surfer. A deep, subtle concave, every curve intentional, every detail crafted for Alastair’s next session. The clock’s forgotten, but the board? Unforgettable. @puzzlesurfboards TheHug #RetroSurfboard #PuzzleSurfboards #SurfboardArt #CustomSurfboard #Handcrafted #Craftsmanship #MadeForSurfers #BespokeDesign #SurfboardShaper #SurfboardLover #RideRetro #SurferStyle #WaveRider #SurfLife #SurfboardAddict #SurfCulture #SurfboardsOfInstagram #SurferArt #HandmadeSurfboards #RetroVibes #CustomMade #ShapedWithLove #SurfboardCraft #UniqueSurfboards #RideTheWave #BoardArt #surfboarddesign #westsussex
Finished January with a bang (or should I say a rocket?) – this sleek 6’9” pin tail beauty is here to dominate those fast, down-the-line rides.
Built for performance, it’s not for the faint-hearted, and beginners… you might want to sit this one out (for now).
Just stepping out of my usual game to kick off the week in style. What do you reckon – ready to go fast or just admire the view?

Boards like this are pure magic—functional, fun, and a must-have in any surfer’s quiver. They’ve shown time and time again that they’re a perfect fit for most of us. If you can shred on a high-performance board, good on you, but honestly, a board like this adds so much versatility to your surfing. This one’s coming in at 5’10” x 22” x 2 1/2” and is bound to make one lucky surfer very happy.

Alternative surfboards like this are the kind of magic I absolutely love. They’ve proven to work for most of us. Sure, fair play if you can rip on a high-performance board, but honestly, everyone needs something like this in their quiver.
The one I’m shaping now is
5’10” x 22” x 2 1/2”
and is guaranteed to find a lucky owner soon.

It’s -4 degrees in the UK, but the fire in my workshop comes from the drive to create. Just finished this custom 5’3” x 19” x 2” strapless kite surfboard for Simon.
Puzzle Surfboards exists to solve what mass production can’t: boards that connect to you, your waves, your wind, your story.
Simon, this board is your next chapter. Ride it like it’s meant to.
The lamination next week will be the icing on the cake—wait for it. 😉
Magic boards for surfers like us.

Happy New Year from Puzzle Surfboards!
Guess what board I’m riding these days? My own, of course.
Nothing against other brands—I respect the craft—but I’m proud to say my boards hold their own. Each one is shaped with intention, precision, and a story to be told.
The last time I bought a board from another company was back in 2018, and that decision sparked my journey into shaping. Today, those boards sit as part of my collection—a nod to the shapers who inspire me.
At Puzzle Surfboards, it’s not just about making boards—it’s about creating magic for surfers and kitesurfers like us. Thank you for supporting this journey. Here’s to more waves, more wind, more stories, and more stoke in 2025!
Cheers

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Puzzle Surfboards! Rafael Raso
As the year comes to a close, I want to wish you a blessed Christmas and an incredible New Year. Your support and encouragement have been the driving force behind everything this year.
Looking back, the boards I shaped this year reflect the passion and craft I pour into every detail.
The workshop is now ready for an even better 2025, and while the tiredness is real, I couldn’t be prouder of how everything has come together.
Here’s to shaping not just boards but stories.

This morning feels electric. The shaping room is ready to rock and roll. Sure, things will evolve as I work, but that’s the beauty of it—starting, shaping, and letting the details come alive along the way.
Next week, I’ll focus on setting up the lamination room, and by the 2nd of January, I’ll officially begin shaping in the new studio.
This isn’t just a workspace—it’s a canvas, a place where craftsmanship and creativity collide. It’s what we call an artist’s sanctuary: a studio. #Studio #Atelier #Workshop #CreativeSpace #ArtistStudio #ShapingRoom #SurfboardShaper #Handcrafted #CustomBoards #Masterpiece #ArtisanCraft #WaveRider #SurfLife #SurfCulture #OceanVibes #RideLikeARocket #MadeWithLove #SustainableSurfboards #puzzlesurfboards#EcoFriendlySurfing #ShaperLife #SurfboardDesign #Craftsmanship #SouthCoastSurf #UKSurfers #MagicBoards #westsussex #girlssurf #fishsurfboard #usblanks
For the past two weeks, I’ve been up at 2:30am—painting, sanding, setting up lights, and laying floor covers to tackle the mess resin brings. It’s not easy, but it’s why I love what I do.
At Puzzle Surfboards, your board isn’t just a board. It’s your puzzle piece—where the ocean, the clock, and your connection come together. Finding the right piece is what I shape for.
More to follow…

Making something like this happen took me 250 hours—weekends, late nights, early mornings, and every spare moment in between. And the challenges? Let’s just say they didn’t stand a chance.
So, is it worth it? Absolutely. This board is one-of-a-kind—sustainable, handcrafted, and the customer couldn’t be happier. That’s what matters to me.
But when it comes to money, well, that’s the tough part. 250 hours times my hourly rate? There’s no way I could charge 4k + for my time, plus materials. So, no—this isn’t exactly paying the bills right now. My Christmas dinner this year? That’s thanks to my 2 other jobs, not the surfboard business.
Still, I’m not giving up. I love what I do, and I truly believe custom boards will have their moment again. Until then, I’ll keep going, keep shaping, and keep putting everything I’ve got into every board I make.

This morning, I got that epoxy shine flowing perfectly on a SUP board—despite the cold, the warm room made it feel like butter on a hot baguette. Normally, I’d use my laminating room, but this beast needed a little improvisation in the shaping room.
But here’s the thing: changes are coming. I can’t say much just yet, but let’s just say Puzzle might be getting a serious upgrade soon.

Big shoutout to @brawwwwk from @hangtimesurf for going the extra mile to make something truly special happen! He worked hard to source my custom, exclusive color fin box, designed specifically for Puzzle Surfboards and set to feature on all the new models I’ll be shaping from January.
Soon to arrive in my workshop here in the UK, these fin boxes mark the start of something exciting. From here on, I’ll be shaping some seriously sick custom boards for surfers who appreciate the craft, the details, and the passion behind every board.
Stay tuned—January is going to be something else! #puzzlesurfboards #CustomSurfboards #HandShapedBoards #SurfboardArt #UKSurfers #SurfCraft #SurfboardDesign #MadeForSurfers #SurfLife #ShapedWithPassion #ExclusiveFinBox #CustomColor #BespokeBoards #StockBoardsDoneRight #SurfInnovation #RideYourOwnWay #HandmadeSurfboards #SurfersSupportingSurfers #HangtimeSurf #SurfboardDetails #SurferOwned #CustomFinBox #SurfboardStyle #SickBoards #UKSurfScene #FromTheWorkshop #SurfersCraft #JanuaryShaping #westsussex
Art is not a thing, it is a way.– Elbert Hubbard
Handcrafting surfboards is more than just making boards; it’s about living creativity and passion through every detail. Each board is an expression of craft, individuality, and a way of life. #puzzlesurfboards #HandcraftedSurfboards #CustomSurfboards #SurfboardShaping #SurfboardArt #MadeBySurfers #SurfboardCraft #SurfboardDesign #FishSurfboard #HybridBoards #EcoSurfboards #SurfLife #SurfersParadise #RideLikeARocket #WaveRider #SurfboardAddict #ShapedNotMade #MagicBoardsForSurfers #SurferVibes #OceanLovers #SurferStyle #WaveHunters #BoardsOfArt #SurferCommunity #SupportShapers #CraftedWithPassion #SouthCoastSurf #SustainableSurfing #westsussex
After a slow and steady process, the agave puddle board is finally shaped! Next up: sealing the core, laminating, installing the fin box, and adding the handle. The goal?

Repairs aren’t my thing—leave that to the best repair guy on the south east coast @drydockdingrepairs
But when a special board like this vintage McTavish longboard comes in with a snapped tail, I can’t resist. The solution? A touch of class: a walnut tail block.

Last night’s late grind: glassing this custom fish with a rich epoxy blue tint. Crafting under the midnight lamp hits different.

I’m currently hand-shaping an agave core SUP for a customer, and it’s been an intense process—a lot of work, but worth it for a sustainable, unique board.
With 8 years of experience shaping foam (PU, EPS, traditional), taking on something this large, hollowing it out, gluing, and reshaping has been a true learning curve. I’ve enjoyed it, even with the challenges.
The key to custom board building is working closely with the rider. This SUP is on the smaller side for a complete beginner, but I tailored it to fit the customer’s limited storage space. To ensure stability and buoyancy, I added volume throughout. This approach creates a board that’s perfect for them—not a one-size-fits-all, mass-produced option.

Whether you surf, kitesurf, or paddleboard, talk to your local shaper or that passionate garage builder. Custom boards should fit you, not the other way around. #puzzlesurfboards
Today’s highlight:
finishing the chambering of this 9ft agave paddle board! It’s now glued together and looking sharp. Some might say it’s like a sleek, ocean-bound cousin of Swiss cheese – hollow inside, but way more stylish and ready to glide on the water soon. #puzzlesurfboards #Handcrafted #SustainableSurf #PaddleBoard #SurfboardShaping #AgaveBoard #EcoFriendly #SurfLife #OceanLover #BoardBuilder #CustomBoards #WaveRider #SwissCheeseVibes #SurferStyle #SustainableLiving #SurfCraft #HollowBoard #NatureInspired #Handmade #SurfAdventure #ArtOfShaping #SeaBound #CraftedWithCare #UniqueBoards #OceanBound #SurfboardArt #EcoBoards #ShapingLife #RideTheWaves #westsussex
Another masterpiece @usblanks 🛠️ #fishsurfboard. Not your average fish. With a square swallowtail and a powerful quad fin setup, this board is designed to ride like a rocket and turn on a dime. For surfers who want speed, agility, and that extra edge. #letstalk #puzzlesurfboards #FishSurfboard #QuadFin #Swallowtail #SurfboardDesign #Handcrafted #SurfboardShaper #CustomSurfboards #RideLikeARocket #SurfLife #SpeedAndAgility #SurfersParadise #WaveChaser #SurfCraft #BoardBuilder #SurfsUp #FastTurns #WaveRider #SurfboardArt #MagicBoardsForSurfers #PerformanceBoard #UniqueSurfboard #SmoothTurns #SurferShaped #BoardGoals #WaveHunting #ShredReady #SurfboardInnovation
Starting the morning with what I love most:
shaping boards that turn heads and ride like a dream. From the classic fish that glides over weak waves, to grovelers that make mushy days epic, and surfboard art that’s more than just decoration—it’s pure surf soul. Magic boards for surfers like us. #Surfboards #HandcraftedSurfboards #SurfboardArt #FishSurfboard #GrovelerSurfboard #SurferLife #WaveRider #SurfVibes #SurfboardShaper #CustomBoards #OceanLovers #SurfCraft #SurfingUK #BeachVibes #SurfersParadise #SurfCommunity #ArtOfShaping #RideLikeARocket #MorningSurf #SurfCulture #BoardArt #WaveChaser #EpicSessions #HandmadeSurfboards #SurfersJourney #MagicBoards #SurfboardDesign #PuzzleSurfboards #westsussex
Hey strapless kite surfers, tired of the same old board everyone’s bragging about? Sure, the ‘standard’ might feel like it’s rocking your sessions, but let’s be real—unless you’re riding with a paycheck from those big brand logos, why not try something that’ll actually blow your mind? Step out of the ordinary. Ride different. Ride better. kitesurf #straplesskitesurfing #surfboards #kitesurfinglife #kiteboarding #kiteboard #surfing #oceanlife #wavehunter #rideordie #watersports #surfboardshaper #customboards #handshaped #boardrider #sessionvibes #freeride #bigwaveenergy #adventureawaits #kitecommunity #windaddict #surfstyle #surferslife #makeyourownwave #uniquegear #shredlife #oceanaddict #funonthewater #puzzlesurfboards #westsussex
the gift that keeps on giving.
Once your custom surfboard is shaped, the leftover wood can warm your home without a fuss.
Try that with foam, and you’re facing black smoke, a call to 999, and a lot of explaining.
Go green, ride clean, and stay warm. Hometown UK

Mission Agave? Challenge accepted. Shaping this full-size paddle board has been no joke, but as a grinder, I don’t back down. It’s coming together better than expected—stay tuned!

Started Puzzle Surfboards over six years ago from nothing, grinding my way up, learning from my own mistakes, and surviving a tough industry that often buries shapers.
It’s brutal out here, not just for us, but for many small businesses.
But we keep going—because if we stopped, the whole scene would be emptier.
Here’s to pushing on and shaping boards that mean something. Respect to those who ride with us.

This is a classic 70s fish outline, redesigned into a strapless kitesurf board that rides like a rocket. I shaped one with classic PU core , and it came out amazing—fast, agile, and smooth. This version is crafted sustainably, featuring an agave core.
Specs: 5ft x 17 1/2 x 2 3/8, single to double concave. Hand-shaped, one of a kind. #puzzlesurfboards

@ecosurfsupply – Massive shoutout for the SUP blank! This is next-level work for me: hand-shaping and chambering an agave plant blank.
Shaping foam is one thing, but this is a whole new challenge, and I’m all in for it.
From leaving my home country to turning 40, life’s been one lesson after another. Every challenge has shaped me, just like this board. Bring it on – I’m ready.

@alastairmoule bro do you recognise the design? 🥷🏻
Fresh off the shaping rack this early morning : my signature classic fish strapless kitesurf board, crafted from agave wood. Built light, sustainable, and designed for smooth turns. This board is pure Puzzle Surfboards – a unique glide that stands out on any wave.

Here we go—Agave Sweetie Fish, 5’10”! Something fresh, breaking away from the usual white foam dust. This one shapes like a dream—planer slides through like butter… though that might be thanks to my modified Makita. Adjusting my style to follow the wood grain, it’s all about working with nature, not against it. I’m crafting a classic fish with modern rails and custom glass-on wood fins to match the heart of this board. Stay tuned—I’ll be back Monday, 4am, shaping sick boards while the world sleeps. Follow the process.
