Tools Surfboards, kitesurf craftsman in Les Sables-d'Olonne

Tools Surfboards is a shaping workshop based in Les Sables-d'Olonne, in Vendée. The shaper has specialised in custom boards in recent years; the website gives no detailed history or founder name.

The range covers three families. Surf: tinted-resin longboards, shortboards, vintage twins and custom boards, new and used, in PU-polyester or EPS-epoxy carbon, with fibreglass and agave wood finishes. Foil: dockstart, surf foil, wing boards and downwind SUP foil boards, in full carbon, carbon pro biax or carbon pro light constructions. SUP: three wave SUP models (Pasithoé, Arès and a long noserider SUP), available only made to measure.

The workshop also makes custom artwork, artist collaborations, accessories (leashes, pads, FCS fins) and merchandising. It resells Duotone, ION and FCS; a 10% discount on Duotone wings and foils is advertised when buying a foil board.
