Fajã Surf Labs · Madeira
Free tools.
The questions every surfer asks us in the lab, answered with the rules and the measurements we shape with. No sign-up, nothing to install.
01
Board finder
What's the best board for me?
Your weight, height, age, level and the waves you surf most — and you get the board a shaper would put in your hands: type, dimensions, litres, rocker, rails, tail and fins, with the reasons.

Volume calculator
How many litres is my board?
For a handshape with no volume written on it, a second-hand board, or one you are about to order. Pick the type, tail and nose, enter length, width and thickness, and read the litres — measured by ShaperLab Pro on real shapes.

ShaperLab Lite
Design a board like a shaper.
ShaperLab Pro reduced to a browser tab: outline, deck and bottom rocker and the rail sections as curves with knots and tangent handles, the measurements a shaper reads, and the litres as you go. Send it to us and we shape it.

Fin placement calculator
Where do the fins go?
Pick the setup and the length: distance from the tail and the rail, toe and cant for thruster, quad, twin, 2+1 and single, in inches and mm, with a diagram of the tail. The numbers a shaper marks before routing the boxes.

Resin & cloth calculator
How much resin and cloth?
Length, width, polyester or epoxy and your lay-up. Grams of resin per stage, millilitres of catalyst by room temperature or hardener by ratio, and the metres of cloth to cut, before you open the tin.
