Every Almond board begins as a blank and ends as a hand-shaped piece of California craftsmanship. Each curve, foil, and rail line is refined through years of shaping and feedback from real surfers. We build boards that hold up for decades and ride beautifully in everyday conditions.

Every fiberglass board is shaped and glassed in Santa Ana, California — one at a time — by craftsmen who care deeply about their work. That hands-on approach ensures consistency, longevity, and a personal touch that machines can’t replicate.

We use premium polyurethane or EPS blanks paired with high-grade fiberglass cloth and resin. Our team hand-laminates each board, balancing strength with flex. The result is a board that feels alive under your feet, not overly stiff or disposable.

When cared for properly, an Almond board can last decades. We build them to be repaired, not replaced. Like a well-loved tool, each board develops character over time — small dings tell the story of seasons well spent in the water.

Yes. Each board starts with a hand-tuned outline, refined rocker, and carefully sculpted foil. While some rough cutting may be machine-assisted for accuracy, every Almond board is finished, sanded, and signed by hand — the craftsmanship you feel in every turn.

The R-Series is designed for ultimate durability and ease, while our fiberglass boards prioritize feel, precision, and long-term craftsmanship. Both share the same design DNA — built for everyday surfing, in every season — but they serve different surfers and stages of the journey.

Each fiberglass board is hand-wrapped and boxed for protection, then shipped via trusted freight carriers on Tuesdays and Fridays. Once your board ships, you’ll receive tracking details and a confirmation email. When it arrives, inspect it right away to ensure no damage occurred in transit.
