Perks
As a thank you for ordering your custom board through Mount Longboards, you'll receiveΒ 20% off all board accessories purchased with your custom board order.
Find the Right Shaper
Every shaper brings something different to the shaping bay.
Some specialise in traditional noseriders, others in all-round longboards or modern performance designs. Rather than overwhelming you with endless options, we carefully curate the brands and models we offer so you can choose with confidence.
If you're not quite sure where to start, we're here to help. Tell us about your surfing, the waves you enjoy and what you'd like your next board to do, and we'll point you in the right direction.
Personalise Your Board
Once you've chosen your shaper and model of board, it's time to make it your own.
Depending on the shaper, you'll be able to customise elements such as dimensions, colours, resin tints, artwork, finishes and other details that reflect your style.
We'll guide you through the available options so you know exactly what's possible before your order is confirmed.
Meet the Shaper
One of the best parts of ordering a custom board is knowing who is making it.
Behind every board is an experienced craftsman with their own story, shaping philosophy and years of knowledge. We believe understanding the person behind the tools creates a stronger connection to the board you'll eventually paddle out on.
Throughout the process we'll keep informed about updates from their workshop as your board comes to life!
Built With Care
Once everything is confirmed, your board enters the shaping schedule.
Every board is individually crafted by your chosen shaper using their own methods and attention to detail. Because each board is made to order, build times vary depending on the shaper and the level of customisation.
Arrives at Mount Longboards
Once your board is complete and arrives at Mount Longboards, it's time to prepare everything for collection or delivery.
This is also the perfect opportunity to complete your setup. Whether it's the right fin, board bag, leg rope or other essentials, we'll help you choose accessories that suit both your board and the way you surf. We also offer personalisation on selected accessories, giving you the opportunity to create a setup that feels uniquely yours.
Our goal is to make sure that when your board reaches you, everything is ready for your first session.
The First Surf
There's nothing quite like paddling out on a board built specifically for you.
From the first trim to the first walk to the nose, every session becomes part of the story your board will carry for years to come.
And our relationship doesn't end once your board leaves the shop. Whether you have questions about fin setups, board care or simply want to share where it's taken you, we're always here for the journey.
