About

Built for the people who shape boards.

Surfbase is software for surfboard shapers and board brands. Every board gets one record, from the first outline to the day a rider picks it up.

The Surfbase design editor mid-edit: the Twin Keel outline with its Bézier handles and cursor, station readouts 1'T 15 3/8", WP +4 3/8" and 1'N 15 5/8", and the rocker below

Why we built it

A custom board passes through five tools before it reaches a rider. We built one place for all of it.

01

We started with the board.

The design editor speaks the bay's language: T12, WP and N12 in thirty-seconds of an inch. Every save is a version you can go back to.

02

Then we followed it out of the bay.

The order, the deposit, the production stages and the store listing all read from the same design, so nobody types a measurement twice.

03

We keep it honest.

If something is in beta or still coming, this page says so. No made-up numbers, no borrowed logos.

Principles

Three things we won't trade.

They decide what we build, what we leave out and how we price it.

01

The board you draw is the board that's built.

Dimensions flow from the design into the quote, the shaping ticket, production and the store. Change the design and every step reads the new version.

02

Made for shapers.

Thirty-seconds of an inch, T12, WP and N12, in inches or millimetres. The editor speaks the language of the bay, not a CAD course.
