AKA Surfboards was founded by Justin...who's Justin? No one knows and know one really cares. However, Justin is the man that will answer the phone when you call and he's the one that is going to follow through with your order until its in your hands and your are completely satisfied.

AKA Surfboards was founded on some very basic principles...quality and service. We have utilized the skills of a seasoned shaper and created a new line of performance surfboards and a new way of doing business in this crazy industry. We do not make long boards, fun boards, eggs or anything else along those lines. Just like any other business customer service is everything and all of us at AKA Surfboards have made customer service our top priority, we will always go above and beyond our customers expectations. Our service coupled with world-class shapes has excelled us beyond even our own expectations in a very short period of time.

WHAT! AKA IS NOT A GOOD FIT FOR YOU? Well then, piss off! Then, check out one of our favorite competitors...the companies were about to list would be our top choice for boards if we weren't knocking out our own sick boards. You might be asking, why would we refer you away from ourselves? Well, we just want your pretty little heart to be happy and if you don't feel we've got what you need, we would kindly ask that you do two things:

  1. Support our core Californian shapers that sacrifice financial happiness and health to suck dust and resin fumes to make boards for you.
  2. DO NOT support any piece of shit China board that you'll find on the rack at your local corporate surf shop for $300. They take pride out of our business and food from the mouths of those who have always sacraficed for you.

If you call Sharp Eye and order a board you can rest assure you'll get your board on or around the time it was promised and you'll be stoked on what you get.

Chemistry Surfboards:
These guys are the newest and by far the coolest new thing in town. They've got a great image and great service. We don't know them all personally but we've heard from mutual friends they're all a bunch of stand up guys. I called them and ordered a 6'3 performance board as a regular joe off the street. Jason answered the phone and was real easy to talk to. I was promised my board in three weeks or less and on or around that time I got a call from Willie telling me my board was ready. As far as we can tell the boys at Chemistry are achieving the same goals that we at AKA Surfboards have set for ourselves.

Plus One Surfboards
These guys have been around for quite sometime and they have a real good thing going. The boards are sick and the image is clean. We called them and ordered a 6'3 performance board as a regular joe off the street. George answered the phone and helped me place my order. They wanted a deposit or prepay to start the order however, I would have had to make the effort to write a check and mail it since they don't take credit cards. I told George I was local and I really wanted the board so he agreed to go ahead and make it for me. Months past and I never heard back from anyone at PlusOne. I'm sure my situation was a rarity or else they wouldn't be in business, I still recommend checking them out.
