The exponential growth of surfing in the Philippines has been paralleled with the rise of skilled and passionate surfboard shapers from all across the country. We no longer have to rely on quality boards from abroad, and we can waveride on some amazing locally-shaped boards by our homegrown talent. Supporting local, Filipino businesses has so many benefits. Firstly, it benefits the surfing industry in the Philippines and allows more space for creation and innovation. It supports local Filipino surf communities where these shapers are based. Finally, these shapers have invaluable knowledge about the type of boards suited for the Philippines and the local surf spots, and shapers even create boards with the Filipino surfer in mind.

If you’re looking for a hand shaped board from the Philippines, we got you covered. We have Shapers Directory with information on each surfboard shaper and how to order. Click Each Shaper name to see more info about the shaper.

The directory may not be an exhaustive list of all pinoy shapers, but we are working towards it. We are still discovering Filipino shaping talent, and there are many shapers that are "underground". If you know of/are a shaper that would like to be featured email us at manager@kudosurf.com.
