Greenlight Surfboard Supply is the gateway to the growing movement of surfers achieving a deeper connection with the True Spirit of Surfing by designing and shaping their own surfboards. We strive to make surfboard building Easy and Fun for all surfers to shape boards at home.
Greenlight Surf Co. was founded in 2005 by Brian Gagliana, a Mechanical Engineer and Product Designer by trade, where he focuses his creative mind towards improving surfboards through developing alternative materials, techniques, and tools to build them.
Bamboo is the main sustainable material used by Greenlight, most notably as the board's stringer, decorative veneers, fins, and the outer structural skin - bamboo fiberglass - Brian's break through development for surfboards. Greenlight is also the pioneer of bio-plastic surfboard parts derived from corn starch (to replace petroleum based leash plugs), and“VXV” vented leash plugs for EPS boards.
Greenlight Surf Supply is a division of Greenlight Surf Co. which manufactures and distributes surfboard building materials to surfers around the world. Instead of focusing on the established corporate surfboard building industry, Greenlight caters to the average surfer who wants to expand his/her surfing experience (and save a lot of money) by shaping their own surfboards at home. Complete kits include all the materials, tools, instruction, and online support
(provided directly by Brian) to guide anyone to building a great looking and fun to ride surfboard the very first time.
One of Greenlight’s goals is to foster a localized surfboard building industry for the Mid Atlantic and Northeast states.
Every surfer should have choices of what boards they ride, whether they build their own boards or have a selection of skilled local shapers to build them a custom board for East Coast waves and conditions. East Coast surf shops will benefit by stocking the right boards designed for the area and from higher margin board sales with much lower shipping costs (if any). Every surfer eventually progresses to the point where they NEED a board that works for them.
Big-name pro surfers on old Californian labels don’t matter to the intermediate and advanced surfer...
Greenlight has already nurtured a few new local board brands in the area:
Antide Surfboards - One95 Waveskates - eight sixteen Surfboards - B.C. Winn - Dojo Surfboards - Trill Surfboards
...as well as a custom surfboard glassing services by Undertow Glassing.
