About SurfStudio
Pushing the boundaries of surfboard design technology to empower shapers worldwide.
Our Mission
We're a small team working on bringing the art and science of surfboard design into the modern era. After working with technologies in different industries, it became clear that shapers were being forced to use outdated tools.
We're passionate about using the latest technology to produce the best user experience possible for everyone designing surfboards. From professional shapers producing high-quality customs to backyard enthusiasts experimenting with their first designs.
Feature updates happen regularly and fixes can be delivered within minutes. No more waiting around for improvements. We've built a strong foundation on modern tech and we're constantly exploring new features that have never been done before.
