Since 1969.

Island Surfboards began in 1969 when two surfers decided to make some boards for their mates.   They enjoyed every surfer’s dream of uncrowded waves, pristine coastlines and a relaxed working atmosphere. Since then the Phillip Island area has grown, and Island Surfboards has grown with it, to become one of the most respected names in Australian surfing.  

For 50+ years Island Surfboards has been passionate about producing, preserving and teaching surf culture.  We have a highly experienced and dedicated team of shapers, finishers, riders and surf coaches.  Over many years we have gained a reputation for producing premium custom made boards, apparel, accessories and surfers.  Our products and services supply surfers, surf schools and the general public locally and all around the world.

A lot has changed since 1969, but our passion for local service and producing the best quality surfing equipment will always remain the same.
