Surfboard Building Kits
Eco-friendly
Who amongst us has not dreamed of someday shaping our own board, but were scared to death of the proposition?
Greenlight has broken down the barriers to accomplishing this, and has done so within the context of taking responsible care of our planet.
~ Clark Milioti
Who, at one point, hasn't thought about shaping themselves a board?
Most of us never try or we watch as our friends, our dads, or our friends' dads
muddle around in their makeshift, garage shaping shacks trying to produce
something that's never even close to being ridable.
Greenlight Surfboard Supply, on the other hand, provides a pretty realistic
option for building your own, eco-friendly board. The kit includes an instructional Video set
and all the materials you'll need to shape and glass your own board.
For someone who isn't so "handy" - and there are plenty of us out there -
Greenlight makes the shaping process idiot proof, and that's the best endorsement I can give.
If you need a project to suck up some of that weekend downtime during summer, give this a try.

Customer Testimonials
I took it out on a chest high day earlier this week and it really worked great. It is weird for me that after 37 years of surfing I am finally surfing on a board that I shaped (and glassed) myself Surfing is twice as fun when you are riding a board you made yourself and it doesn’t hurt that it is environmentally friendly too.
It was a great experience and hopefully I’ll get to do it again soon.

"Just wanted to let you know that your product is sweet and well priced. I'm to the hot coat stage
of my first surfboard i've
made and am already planning
the next addition to the quiver. Your system was sooooo easy to use and is wayyyyy cleaner allowing me to glass in my house without much hassle from my wife :o) which was the key to my success thus far with my build. Thanks for making a great kit
at a price that doesn't break
my bank."
~Brandon Davis, CT
"That was so much fun!!
I am just about finished shaping.
Your videos were very helpful
and give confidence for shaping.
Thanks!"

"I have to say that working with
the bamboo fiberglass has been relatively easy even for a novice glasser.
Keep up the good work....:)"
~Michael Anaya San Diego, CA"Board turned out great!
First board ever made.
Sorry to toot my own horn,
but its f&$%in sweet!
Thanks again, and you will be hearing from me again - I
will definitely be glassing with
your bamboo!"

"My prayers for surf have been answered and finally could surf my new bamboo laminated board!! I had 5 feet swell.
I love how it worked in those conditions, it is quite lively and reacts better than my old fiberglass boards. I could score some good backside snaps.
I think it feels like when fiberglass is new."
