ABOUT US

We Believe in Custom Design

40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

We have been manufacturing custom watercraft for over 40 years.  Race Paddleboards have been a natural addition to our wide range of experience in this unique area of British manufacturing.

Mako race paddleboards are a different board in the SLSC arena.  Each board is hand crafted and is fully customised from the volume of your board which can be increased in 1 litre increments to adjustments in the shape or width to your own spray design.

Custom made race paddleboards take up to 4 weeks to manufacture.  Probably less time than it takes you to take delivery of a board elsewhere.  We ship all around Europe.

  • Manufactured in the UK
  • 40 years experience
  • 4 week ‘design to delivery’
  • Europe Wide Shipping
  • Performance matt finish as standard
  • Fast and Light
  • Exceeds expectations
  • Tough Construction
  • Complete custom service
  • Speak to the shaper
  • We manufacture for a major UK surf life saving organisation – we just can’t say who that is but check out your local beach anything yellow in colour will be a giveaway

These boards are lightweight as standard.  How light is ‘lightweight’ – we design these boards to be competition ready at 7.6kgs to meet SLS guidelines.

That isn’t to say you can’t have your paddleboard heavier or lighter.  The advantage of a custom made British manufactured paddleboard is you can have whatever you want and not wait months for it to arrive.

As heavy or as light as you want.
