Escoda Surfboards, kitesurf craftsman in Capbreton

Escoda Surfboards is the workshop of Kevin Escoda, located in the Deux Pins craft area in Capbreton (3 rue des Galips), in the Landes. The website highlights boards that are entirely hand-shaped by the craftsman.

Boards are made to measure according to the surfer's level and style: shortboard, mid-length, fish, longboard and step-up. Kevin Escoda says he exchanged with shaper Tom Parrish, known notably for his work with Lightning Bolt, which refined his approach to shaping.

The workshop also offers a board repair service (ding repair, specialised in composite), with drop-off or pick-up in Capbreton.

Monday to Saturday (exact hours not specified).
