From our humble beginnings over 25 years ago in the sleepy coastal town of Santa Cruz to becoming a globally recognized brand, we have never lost sight of who we are and what we do. We are part of a global community of surfers, shapers, designers, and craftsman who are connected through surfing and the pursuit of perfection. We take pride in every board we make and celebrate the millions of waves around the world that have been ridden and look forward to being a part of the lineup for years to come. We are Surftech, The Original Board Manufacturing Company, and We Live For This.
