Adelaide doesn't get much surf, but as an avid surfer I wanted a custom board from an SA shaper, and Ben Wallbridge was the best!
Me and my sister both got custom made and sprayed boards here and are very happy with them, mine is the one in the picture.
Wallbridge is located down south, semi close to the beach, with a store and factory on site. He shapes, repairs, sprays, sells and works all from this one area. His services include surfboards, surf life saving, all equipment, 2nd sales, stand up and kite boards, covers, everything you would need surf-wise.
He takes orders through the website and provides quotes but I preferred to go down there and chat to him myself to source the best board for me and design my spray for the top.
It took a couple of weeks and cost the same as a normal brand new board, which is usually plain white and not specific to you.
I am very happy and proud of my board and love using it and showing it off.
The service was fine, your typical surfer dude but also a business owner too. He spoke to me directly, along with other staff, and was very helpful in all aspects. read more
