Hi, I am Peter Snowdon, I am a custom surfboard shaper based in Tynemouth on the north east coast of England. All boards that I create are hand finished from beginning to end from shaping through to artwork.
All boards are made from the best quality materials available and I never use cheap seconds or cheap resin/glass.
Please feel free to get in contact to discuss your requirements or queries.

The boards I create are not mass produced ensuring you get highest quality and attention to detail that is essential in the process of creating that magic board. Whist also using the best materials available it is this attention to detail and knowledge that help me respond and work to the highest demands of shaping surfboards.
Over the years surfing has taken me around the world on various trips to places including, Australia, Indonesia, Africa, Maldives, Central America, Europe and many other places. This has given me an understanding of the needs of both travelling surfers and local surfers. My boards have been tried and tested in a variety of different locations around the world and acting on the feedback given to me from many customers has enabled me to push myself as a designer to really work at creating the best possible boards. My number one goal is to remain consistent and innovative and progress with my shapes and ultimately make the riders of my boards happy. If it’s a surfboard you are using for surfing in the UK or around the World I aim to make the right board for you.
I work from various templates that I have developed and know that work but for any board I am able to mix and match templates and ideas to come up with something completely new and unique.
For anyone that orders a custom surfboard I will bring a high level of quality, attention and integrity carried out to your personal requirements at a fair price and quick turnaround.
Please feel free to get in contact to discuss your requirements or queries.
Having been given the opportunity to work with, share thoughts with and receive feedback from some highly regarded shapers, creative minds and surfers in the industry I would like to say thanks
