Penhallow Surfboards
Family shapers who have fitted boards to the same stretch of coast for decades, and whose customers ride the local breaks more than anywhere else.
Surfboard shaper website examples: four designs for custom board makers
Four finished websites for surfboard shapers: the family shaper who has fitted boards to the same coast since the sixties, the design-led studio with a model library, the bold performance shaper for heavy water, and the order machine that turns height, weight and waves into a board spec. Click through any of them, then order the one that fits.
MigrateLab builds high-performing websites for local businesses. Fixed price, live in 7 working days, fast on mobile, and yours to keep.
B. Premium design-led$2,320 fixed
Linnhe Shapes
Design-led shapers and small board studios with a fixed catalogue of models, who sell on the shape itself and want each board shown like an object, not a product in a bin.
C. Bold and industrial$1,920 fixed
Riptooth Surf Co.
Performance shapers who build step-ups, guns and slab boards for experienced surfers chasing big swell, and want a site that looks as serious as the waves their boards are ridden in.
D. Lead machine$2,320 fixed
Shapelist Custom Surfboards
Busy custom board shops that take orders by DM and at the counter, and want surfers to spec, price and reserve a board on their own.
You get the design you pick, made into your own site
Every demo on this page is a real layout we rebuild for you. The structure, the sections and the special feature stay as you see them. Your name, logo, colours, photos and wording replace ours, so it looks like it was always yours, and no other business in your area gets the same site.
Stays as you see it
- The layout and page structure, section by section
- The special feature, like the map, calculator or booking calendar
- How it looks and works on a phone, and how fast it loads
- Type and spacing tuned so it still looks designed
Becomes yours
- Your business name and logo. No logo yet? We set your name in a clean wordmark
- Your brand colours, applied across buttons, headings and backgrounds
- Your photos, or licensed photos chosen for your trade
- Your services, prices, service area, team and reviews
- Your phone, email, address and domain
Want a section from another design, or one moved or left out? Put it in your notes. Small changes like that are included.
A custom board is ordered on trust in the shaper, and the order itself is a conversation: height, weight, ability, the waves you surf, the board you ride now. Most shapers run that conversation in DMs and at the shop counter, and the models, prices and turnaround live in their head or on a paper list taped to the wall.
The four sites below sell boards four different ways. One sells a family name and a lifetime on one coast. One sells design, with each model shown like a product in a catalogue. One sells performance boards for serious surfers and heavy waves. One is a lead machine that turns a surfer's details into a board spec and a price. Every one is real, responsive and ready to rebuild around your bay.
Each design, in detail
A. Heritage and trust
Penhallow Surfboards
Hand shaped on the Menhay coast since 1968.
$1,520 fixed, 7 working days
Who it suits. Family shapers who have fitted boards to the same stretch of coast for decades, and whose customers ride the local breaks more than anywhere else.
Why it converts.
- The break picker answers the question every surfer brings to the counter, "what should I ride at my spot", and ends on a model with a price
- Prices and the 6 to 8 week wait are on the page, so the first message is an order, not a question
- The order form asks for height, weight, the break and the board you ride now, which is everything Kit needs to quote
What we swap for your business. Your breaks and what works at each, your model range with dimensions and prices, the family story and founding year, shop hours and photos of your own bay. The stamp is redrawn around your name and year.
- Palette
- SeafoamDeep tealSandCoralInk
- Type
- DM Serif Display for headings, Rethink Sans for text
- Logo
- A round stamp with a surfboard planform standing inside a rolling wave line, the family name set in a serif arch and 1968 underneath, like the stamp pressed into every stringer
- Sections
- Hero in the shaping bay with foam dust, the founding year, board count and phone in the header. Facts strip: since 1968, about 9,000 boards, shortboards from $780, longboards from $1,150, 6 to 8 weeks. The family story: Jory built the bay in 1968, Kit has shaped every board since he retired. The board for your break: pick one of six local breaks, see the wave, tide, swell and the model with dimensions and volume. The six models with stock dimensions and prices. How an order goes, from the first measure to pickup, 6 to 8 weeks. The three people in the bay. Ding repairs and old Penhallows coming home. Sample customer reviews. Visit the bay: address, hours, parking. Order a board form.
B. Premium design-led
Linnhe Shapes
Eight surfboards, drawn once and refined ever since.
$2,320 fixed, 7 working days
Who it suits. Design-led shapers and small board studios with a fixed catalogue of models, who sell on the shape itself and want each board shown like an object, not a product in a bin.
Why it converts.
- The overlay comparison answers the question every buyer asks at the counter, "how is this different from what I ride", without a single message
- Showing eight models at true scale on one wall makes the catalogue feel curated and deliberate, which justifies a price from $950
- Glassing, tints and the seven-week wait are priced and stated up front, so enquiries arrive with a model already chosen
What we swap for your business. Your models, real outlines and dimensions, glassing prices, turnaround and photography. The wordmark and board mark are redrawn around your name.
- Palette
- ChalkGraphiteKelpPale blueResin amber
- Type
- Syne for headings, Onest for text
- Logo
- Wide geometric wordmark in Syne with a single board outline drawn as one continuous line for the mark, stringer included
- Sections
- Quiet header and a gallery hero: one white board on a white wall, the headline beside it. A short statement on why the catalogue stops at eight. The wall: all eight models drawn as outlines at true relative scale, with price and what each is for. Plates: four photographs of finished boards, captioned like a gallery. Compare two models: pick any two, their outlines overlay at true scale with a dimensions table. Glassing and resin: glass schedules and tints with prices. Seven weeks from order to pickup, week by week. The studio on Rope Walk and the shaper. Sample notes from riders, in soft light. Order form: model, height, weight, waves and glassing.
C. Bold and industrial
Riptooth Surf Co.
Step-ups and guns for the days everyone else stays on the beach.
$1,920 fixed, 7 working days
Who it suits. Performance shapers who build step-ups, guns and slab boards for experienced surfers chasing big swell, and want a site that looks as serious as the waves their boards are ridden in.
Why it converts.
- The step-up calculator answers the first question every big-wave buyer has, how much longer and thicker, before they ever call
- Prices and the six week turnaround sit in the hero, so serious buyers know the numbers before the swell forecast lands
- The order form asks for the exact inputs a shaper needs, so the first conversation is about the board, not about collecting measurements
What we swap for your business. Your models, your step-up rules in the calculator, your prices, glass schedules and turnaround, your breaks and your riders. The tooth fin is recoloured to your brand.
- Palette
- BlackWet slateHazard redFoamSteel blue
- Type
- Teko for headings, Albert Sans for text
- Logo
- A single serrated fin in hazard red, cut like a tooth, beside a tall condensed RIPTOOTH wordmark with SURF CO. set wide beneath
- Sections
- Hero: full-bleed big-wave photo, headline about the swell sizes the boards are built for, step-up and gun prices, call and order buttons. The quiver ladder: everyday board, step-up, semi-gun, gun, with wave range, typical length and price for each. Step-up calculator: everyday board length and volume plus rider weight, a wave-size slider from 4 to 20 ft, recommended length and volume with an SVG outline scaled against the everyday board. Boards in the water: three photos with the spot, the swell and the board ridden. How a heavy-water board is built: foam, stringer, glass schedule and rails, with the shaper photo. Glassing and fin options with prices. Six weeks from order to pickup: the build timeline. Sample rider reviews. Order form: current board, weight, the wave you are building for, deposit note.
D. Lead machine
Shapelist Custom Surfboards
Five answers in, a board number out
$2,320 fixed, 7 working days
Who it suits. Busy custom board shops that take orders by DM and at the counter, and want surfers to spec, price and reserve a board on their own.
Why it converts.
- The order wizard does the counter conversation on the site, so a surfer leaves with a spec, a price and a board number instead of an unanswered DM
- The live list and the "you would be board 23" line make the wait concrete, which is what gets the $200 deposit paid today
- Every model, fin setup and glass option carries a price, so nobody has to ask how much before ordering
What we swap for your business. Your models, sizing rules, prices, fin and glass options, current list length and deposit amount. The board-ticket mark is recoloured to your brand.
- Palette
- WhiteOceanLemonInkSky
- Type
- Lexend for headings, Mulish for text

- A lemon surfboard outline laid over a numbered order ticket, heavy rounded wordmark
- Sections
- Sticky top bar with the live list count, phone and order button. Hero with prices, turnaround and the shaping list this week. Order wizard: height, weight, ability, waves and current board in; model, dimensions, volume and price out; fins and glassing; queue position and a $200 deposit. Five models with dimensions and starting prices. How the list works, week by week from deposit to pickup. Fins and glassing price list. Ding repair prices and drop-off hours. Sample reviews from pickup day. FAQ. Final call to action, sticky mobile order bar.

Why MigrateLab
Why have us build it instead of a builder or an agency
You own it outright
The site is real code on your own hosting account, not a page inside a builder you rent. Leave us any time and take everything with you.
No platform subscription
Wix, Squarespace and Webflow charge every month forever. Hosting for a site like this costs a few dollars a month under your own account.
Built by people who do migrations for a living
MigrateLab moves company websites off closed platforms onto clean code. Small business sites are the same craft with less to move.
Fixed price, fixed week
The price on this page is the price. The week is the week. If we slip, you get a discount, not an excuse.
Fast on a phone, found on Google
Every site ships with the search basics done and a mobile score we are happy to show you. Most agency sites fail both.
AI can edit it, and so can you
Because it is plain code, tools like Claude and Cursor can change it in seconds. You also get a normal editor for everyday text and photo changes.
After launch
Editing and maintenance, made clear
Three ways to keep the site current after launch. Pick one at handover, switch later if you change your mind.
Edit it yourself
$0 per month
You get a simple editor for text, photos, services, reviews and service areas. Hosting runs under your own account for a few dollars a month. No contract with us.
- +Editor login for your team
- +Hosting under your own account
- +Written handover guide
- +Email support for 30 days
Care plan
$63 per month
We host it, watch it and change it for you. Send an email with the change, it is live within one working day. Cancel any month.
- +Hosting, backups and uptime monitoring
- +Unlimited small edits: text, photos, prices, hours, reviews
- +Security and dependency updates
- +A monthly note with visits, calls and form leads
Let AI edit it
$0 per month
The code is clean enough that Claude Code or Cursor can add a page, change a section or swap a photo from a plain English request. We set it up and show you how.
- +Repository handed over to you
- +AI tooling configured
- +One recorded walkthrough
- +Bigger changes quoted per job
Questions
How much does a surfboard shaper website cost?
From us, $1,520 to $2,320 as a fixed, one-time price, depending on which of the four designs you pick, live in 7 working days. That includes the design rebuilt around your business, the copy, forms, search basics and connecting your domain. After launch you can edit it yourself for $0 a month or have us look after it for $63 a month. For comparison, agencies typically quote $3,000 to $10,000 for a small business site, and builder subscriptions run $20 to $50 a month for as long as the site exists.
Will my site look exactly like the demo?
It keeps the same design, layout and structure, and the same special feature. Everything that is ours becomes yours: your name and logo, your brand colours, your photos, services, prices and contact details. Small changes, like borrowing a section from another design or leaving one out, are included in the fixed price.
Who can build a website for my surfboard shaper?
MigrateLab builds websites for surfboard shaper owners. Pick one of four finished designs at migratelab.com/examples/surfboard-shaper-websites, send your logo, photos and details, and we rebuild it around your business for a fixed $1,520 to $2,320, live in 7 working days. You own the site, there is no platform subscription, and you can edit it yourself or have us look after it.
Can I get a surfboard shaper website without a monthly platform fee?
Yes. A MigrateLab site is yours outright and runs on your own hosting for a few dollars a month, instead of a $20 to $50 monthly builder plan. You pay a one-time $1,520 to $2,320 for the build, and a care plan at $63 a month is optional if you want us to make changes for you.
Are these real websites or just designs?
Real. Each concept is a complete, responsive website you can click through on any device. The businesses are fictional so you can see the design with realistic content, but the code and layout are exactly what you would receive.
Can surfers order a custom board through the site?
Yes. We build an order form that collects height, weight, ability, waves, fins and glassing, suggests a model and dimensions from your own rules, and takes a deposit if you want one.
I run everything from Instagram and word of mouth. Do I need a website?
Most shapers we talk to have been getting by on Instagram and the shop counter. That works until someone searches for you by name, asks an AI assistant for a recommendation, or wants to see prices and the wait before they get in touch. A site you own answers all of that, ranks in search, and does not disappear when a platform changes its rules.
What happens after I pick one?
You send your logo if you have one, photos, your builds and prices, and how people order today. We rebuild the site around your business and send a private preview within a week. One round of changes, then it goes live on your domain.
Will I be able to edit it myself?
Yes. Text, photos, prices, builds and availability are editable without touching code. Or pick the care plan and text or email us the change.
What does it cost per month?
Nothing to us unless you choose the care plan. Hosting under your own account is a few dollars a month. There is no platform subscription.
Get one of these built for you
Pick the design, leave your email, and we reply within one working day with a plan and a written confirmation of the price. Live in 7 working days from the day we have your basics.
