PANTHER SURFBOARD
Panther Surfboards makes high-end surfboards out of Biarritz, France. The brand was founded by Renaud Pons in 2015, after many years of apprenticeship and refining his craft in France and overseas.
Panther Surfboards made the conscious decision to make everything under one roof in our Biarritz workshop, so that we can focus on the quality and craftsmanship of work. Each surfboard is designed and hand-shaped by Renaud by himself. It will then be glassed and sanded, either by him or by one of our enthusiastic collaborators that he trained. Panther Surfboards is a family business. While Renaud makes the boards, his wife Juliette keeps the shop, sells the boards, and gets people talking about Panther.

NAJE SURFBOARDS
Surfing has been a major part of my life for almost 20 years now. I first got into surfing, then started making movies and photography and then discovered shaping. Shaping as I see it is a creative process: you watch, you learn and you try again and again. It’s an empirical approach. To me, shaping is more than just a craft. An incredible heritage of almost a century of surfboard design was passed on to us and it is now our generation’s turn to try and interpret that wealth, mixing old designs and making our own versions of them.

THIBAUT PARUITE
Every board shaped by Thibaut paruite (SPOE) is inspired by his never-ending relationship with the art of surfing. Just like every wave is unique, every board is treated like a piece of art. SPOE 100% handshapes all of his boards, maintaining a physical commitment from the shaping process to the act of surfing itself. His goal in shaping is to fuse the arts of board building and wave riding using harmonic lines.
