BOB Surfboards, kitesurf craftsman in Montemassi (Roccastrada)

BOB Surfboards is the workshop of Roberto Guicciardini, a shaper born and raised on the Mediterranean waves in the Tuscan Maremma, who has surfed since the age of eleven. He makes custom surfboards entirely by hand: shaping, glassing, sanding.

Each model (template) answers a real need rather than a wish for novelty. For a custom board, talking with the surfer is the most important part: level, spot, the sensation sought. The website presents a range of models (Pesciolino, Cucchiara, Girlfriend, Tusha, Skunk, Fanahana, Buyo, Miniber, Tittia) and the steps to request a custom board.
