We have some amazing Custom SUP manufacturers in Australia, but unfortunately many don't have the budgets or time to market themselves to get their name out there. And having time to update a website is probably not that easy either.
Some good names I know of are:
Deep (I met Simon at Noosa a few years ago and was a really nice guy and easy to chat to)
Surefire Boards (I have surfed with Mick a few times and actually have a custom Surefire - Mick is always keen to chat, share his knowledge and has the lightweight and super cool looking boards down pat)
DC (no introduction needed here - Dale is a Guru of Downwind & race boards)
Phantom (I have never met Chris but have seen a couple of his boards which look cool and look to go really good)

I know of a few others that do custom boards but are made overseas and shipped back here, or are made in other factories here in Oz with their stickers on them which may have a place but for this discussion I'm more interested in knowing of and pushing the 100% Australian Made and shaped products - ie, the guy you speak to will design, shape, and possibly even glass your board.

So if you know of any shapers, no matter how big or small; if you have shaped a few, know of anyone who does and maybe have a story and a photo or 2 of their boards, then please share.

Let's hear about and support the salt of the earth brands that make surfing/SUPing what it is truly about: core brands who get people stoked.
