About Us
Handmade homegrown surf craft from the most hippy town in the Finger Lakes of NY. Creating truly one of a kind wake surf sleds inspired by the craftsmanship of old and the artistry of the locals. We strive to go against the commercial distortions of modern business and put our focus on reflecting aesthetics predating the commercial era while maintaining todays performance standards. Pairing riders with boards that inspire the soul, both on and off the water.
Artisan Surf
Why Artisan?
Our boards are crafted for the distinguished surfer who wants a one-off wake sled and not your everyday off the shelf ride. Artisan signature boards are hand painted making each one unique. Whether it be on the water or displayed in your home a Artisan Surf Series board will inspire the soul.
Made In the USA
Our Custom hand cut and shaped creations are built from select cut cedar, Bass wood and Mahogany. Wood Boards are stronger than foam cores resulting in a longer life when properly taken care of.
Can I pick the Artwork?
Absolutely! You can request anything you like on the board and we will do our best to match your order to one of our talented Artists and Bring your vision to life. Art Costs vary depending on the size and complexity of the piece.

Boards are designed and built based off my years of experience both on the water as well as in my shop. I specialize in custom one off builds that are made to fit the rider. Being both a surfer and a builder allows me to know how to best set up a board to fit its users style and the wave they ride.

Custom Boards can be shaped to your design and specifications. Boards options like tail blocks and wood inlays can also be done. Making our boards 100% by hand allows us more creativity and flexibility in the building process.

Orders are filled in the sequence they are received and usually take 3 to 12 weeks. Special Artist requests can add time. We try our best to keep a few boards in inventory and can sometimes shorten the order time.
