Your surfboard shaper in Madeira

Fajã Surf Labs is a surfboard shaping workshop in São Vicente, on Madeira's north coast. We shape custom surfboards for visiting and local surfers — from high-performance shortboards to fish, mid-lengths, longboards and fun shapes — built to your height, weight and the waves you ride.

CNC precision, finished by hand

A CNC machine cuts your blank to within ±0.5 mm of the final shape. Our shapers then refine the rails, concaves and foil by hand, glass on-site with your chosen schedule, and finish to a standard we're proud of. The result is a repeatable, dialled-in board with a hand-shaped feel.

Why shape your board in Madeira

Flying with a surfboard is expensive, stressful and hard on your board. Shape it here instead: design online, pick it up ready to surf in São Vicente, and skip the oversize fees and travel dings. Already have a board that needs work? See our surfboard repairs in Madeira.
