What the surf community is saying:
Why Barrette Surfboards?
-
Every board is shaped by Austin, one of the few craftsmen worldwide specializing in custom hand-shaped surfboards. Unlike mass-produced boards, each Barrette surfboard or wakesurfboard is sculpted with precision, ensuring that every curve, contour, and rocker is fine-tuned for your unique stance and riding style. A hand-shaped board provides better control, responsiveness, and fluidity on the water, making it a true extension of the rider rather than just another off-the-rack option.
-
Built to match your height, weight, skill level, and riding goals, a custom board from Barrette Surfboards optimizes your performance on the waves. Whether you're looking for a high-speed, competition-ready surfboard, a smooth and stable wakesurfboard, or a progressive shape that helps you level up, each board is designed with physics and rider biomechanics in mind. The result? A board that works with you—not against you—delivering peak performance every time you hit the water.
-
We believe that a great board starts with superior materials. That’s why we use S-glass, epoxy resin, and carbon reinforcements to craft boards that are stronger, lighter, and more responsive than standard fiberglass constructions. Our materials not only ensure long-lasting durability but also enhance flex patterns, allowing for a more dynamic ride whether you're carving waves in the ocean or behind a boat. Each board is built to handle high-impact conditions, providing superior strength without sacrificing performance.
-
Whether you’re a seasoned pro refining your board to match your exact riding style or an up-and-comer looking for a board that grows with you, Barrette Surfboards delivers a one-of-a-kind experience. Custom surfboards and wakesurfboards allow you to push boundaries, master new tricks, and ride with greater confidence. When you invest in a Barrette board, you're not just buying a surfboard—you’re investing in a tool that fuels your passion, helps you progress, and becomes a part of your surfing journey.
Team Riders
How it works:
-
Select from our lineup of nine unique models or design a one-of-a-kind board with our Custom Outline option. Customize your board’s glassing construction, fin setup, and resin art for a truly personalized ride.
-
After you submit your order form, Austin reaches out within 24 hours for a one-on-one consultation. Together, you’ll refine your board’s specs, and you’ll receive a 3D mockup to review before we begin the build.

Your board is meticulously shaped, glassed, and finished using only the highest-quality materials. Want to be part of the process? Visit the shop and help shape your board—or stay involved virtually via FaceTime updates.
