We built The Base for the surfer who already knows what they want — and the one who's still figuring it out. Either way, you deserve real advice, not a catalogue description.
We're a specialist surfboard store operating across Europe. Ten years in the industry, original shapes from the world's best board builders, and one non-negotiable: every board we sell is designed by each brand's head-shaper and built in the same European factories that outfit the world's top competitive rosters. We work with the international labels that have shaped modern surfboard design — Chilli, SharpEye, Rusty, Simon Anderson and others — and we carry both stock boards and run custom orders across every major surfboard construction technology: PU, EPS, Twin Tech, Carbon.
Custom ordering is at the core of what we do. You choose the shaper, the model, the volume, the construction, the glass, the decals and the spray — we handle the rest, from factory to your door.
We provide same day dispatch with all stock surfboards and accessories, plus express delivery to most European countries. As an independent, multi-brand surfboard platform, we take customer service and security seriously. Your details are protected with the latest security measures, and we send surfboards all over Europe every day, so we know how to get your board to you safely. There's free cancellation and a 14-day warranty with every item purchased, plus free returns if you need to send something back for exchange or refund.
We're a run-by-surfers-for-surfers kind of business. Not sure what to order? We'll help you — chat with our team and get expert advice. We all surf, and we ride what we sell. Trust in us to get you the right equipment, whoever you are and wherever you surf in Europe.
See you out there!
