  • “These boards are always the talk of the lineup! The resin swirl on the Noserider is a true work of art! Both boards have a ton of hidden volume and peak performance that make them the perfect weapon for east coast waves! Austin’s commitment and skill is second to none and he always delivers with what the customer is looking for!”

    Luke P. - 9’4 Glider & 6’0 Single Wing - Virginia Beach

  • “Thanks Austin for the surfboard! It is a beauty and I’m beyond happy with the result! If you’re looking for a custom board give this guy a call. Austin was excellent from beginning to end. His shaping skills are very good and as he says, he can make any board you want! Thanks again brah”

    Romulo M. - Virginia Beach

  • “Amazing experience working with Austin. Extremely professional, knowledgeable and pumped my board out start to finish in 6 days. This was my first custom board ever and I honestly can’t thank him enough.I reached out for a quote, paid my deposit and he started shaping the very next day. He allowed me to come watch whatever steps I wanted to be there for, while explaining in detail what and why he was doing. My board was delivered 2 weeks ahead of his estimate and is immaculate. Always responds to texts or calls within minutes. 100% total perfect experience! Support small businesses!.”

    Scott H. - 7’6 Single Wing - Virginia Beach / Outer Banks

  • “Solid board, floats and paddles great, so so light... loved the experience with the shaping process. Board is an absolute blade and will definitely be filling my quiver..”

    Remy E. - Performance Pin - Virginia Beach

  • “Austin is the man! He took the time to have multiple conversations with me, as we walked through the board setup options and other minor details. (This is my first custom shape so I was picky). I received a same-day quote, picture updates, and board in hands in no time! The board itself surfs like a dream. It's like I'm on a butter knife in some vanilla bean gelato !! In all seriousness, it has been my go-to board and I get compliments on it all the time. Support small business and a good all-around dude!”

    Luke J. - 5’11 Single Wing - Orange County

  • “Absolutely love this board! Can shred small to medium size waves all day and you can also surf on a bigger day and it flys down the line! Color and art work is incredible. Shipping couldn’t have been easier. Shows up safe and secure right the your front door step. Won’t get another board that’s not a Barrette board!”

    Logan S. - 5’11 Twin Single Wing - Orange County

  • “I got my board on Christmas and I immediately did my own design. Austin helped me out with it but also gave me some independence in painting it so I can say I did some part of it. The board it self was very sturdy, beautifully shaped, you can see the time and effort that was put into making it. The best word to describe it was flawless!”

    Gracie B. - 8’6 Glider - Laguna Beach

  • “The board came out beautiful. This was my first custom board. Austin walked me through his process and materials he used. Throughout the process Austin was in contact with me giving updates/pictures of my board. My board came out exactly how I asked for. Definitely will be getting my boards Austin from here on out. No more cookie cutter boards for me.”

    Jerry - 7’6 Single Wing Pin Mid - Virginia Beach

  • “Perfect board built for So Cal surf. Generates speed like no other board I have ridden and paddles super well. I placed my order with Barrette and 1 month later it arrived from Virginia just in time for the first summer swell, no dings or anything. Barette’s the man and his boards are super high quality.”

    Grady H. - 6’0 Performance Squash+ Baby Swallow - Newport Beach

  • “Great experience! Loved working with Austin in the shaping bay super cool guy. Helps you a lot and guides you through the process. It really does make a difference seeing what is put into the board your going to ride. Definitely recommend Barrette Surfboards to any surfers out there no matter how much experience you have!”

    Nate - 5’11 Performance Squash - Virginia Beach

Three surfboards with different designs against a black background. The left and right surfboards are white with black trim and text that reads 'Briquette Team Rider.' The middle surfboard has a swirling, marbled pattern in red, yellow, and white with the text 'Barrette' in black.
  • Every board is shaped by Austin, one of the few craftsmen worldwide specializing in custom hand-shaped surfboards. Unlike mass-produced boards, each Barrette surfboard or wakesurfboard is sculpted with precision, ensuring that every curve, contour, and rocker is fine-tuned for your unique stance and riding style. A hand-shaped board provides better control, responsiveness, and fluidity on the water, making it a true extension of the rider rather than just another off-the-rack option.

  • Built to match your height, weight, skill level, and riding goals, a custom board from Barrette Surfboards optimizes your performance on the waves. Whether you're looking for a high-speed, competition-ready surfboard, a smooth and stable wakesurfboard, or a progressive shape that helps you level up, each board is designed with physics and rider biomechanics in mind. The result? A board that works with you—not against you—delivering peak performance every time you hit the water.

  • We believe that a great board starts with superior materials. That’s why we use S-glass, epoxy resin, and carbon reinforcements to craft boards that are stronger, lighter, and more responsive than standard fiberglass constructions. Our materials not only ensure long-lasting durability but also enhance flex patterns, allowing for a more dynamic ride whether you're carving waves in the ocean or behind a boat. Each board is built to handle high-impact conditions, providing superior strength without sacrificing performance.

  • Whether you’re a seasoned pro refining your board to match your exact riding style or an up-and-comer looking for a board that grows with you, Barrette Surfboards delivers a one-of-a-kind experience. Custom surfboards and wakesurfboards allow you to push boundaries, master new tricks, and ride with greater confidence. When you invest in a Barrette board, you're not just buying a surfboard—you’re investing in a tool that fuels your passion, helps you progress, and becomes a part of your surfing journey.

Team Riders

How it works:

  • Choose your base model from our lineup of thirteen proven shapes—then place your deposit to lock in your place in the build queue and kick off your personalized board journey.

  • Once your deposit is placed, you’ll receive a detailed customization questionnaire covering everything from your fin setup and glassing preferences to resin tint, logos, and performance goals. Then, Austin will follow up personally—usually within 24 hours—for a collaborative phone consultation where you’ll go deep on every element of your build.

    It’s not just about picking features—it’s about understanding how you ride and what you want this board to do, so we can shape something that feels like an extension of you.

  • Your board is meticulously shaped, glassed, and finished using only the highest-quality materials. Want to be part of the process? Visit the shop and help shape your board—or stay involved virtually via FaceTime updates.

  • Once your board is complete, we’ll ship it to you for $60 or less nationwide—an unheard-of deal in the industry. Prefer to pick it up? Come grab it in person and talk shop with Austin before you take your board for its first ride.
