 A+ Custom Surfboards, is where passion meets precision! With years of experience in surfboard design from my competitive surfing days, I’ve cultivated a unique approach that tailors every board to the individual surfer's needs.

Our Journey

With over 12 years of collaborating alongside my shaper, I have developed a deep understanding of the nuances and significance of every detail in surfboard design. In 2014, I transitioned into mastering the art of shaping my own boards using specialized software. Competing on these custom designs not only allowed me to achieve notable results but also attracted the interest of friends and surfers, leading them to request their own tailored boards.

Your Perfect Board Awaits

Just like race cars are fine-tuned for various tracks, each surfer requires a board designed to enhance their skills across different waves and conditions. My holistic coaching methodology incorporates surfboard design as a crucial element to help surfers of all levels maximize their potential.

Designed by Vini Fornari

Every A+ surfboard is crafted by me, Vini Fornari, ensuring that each design reflects a deep understanding of surfing dynamics and personal progression. Let’s create the perfect board tailored just for you!
