Fletcher Chouinard shapes some of the strongest and most advanced surfboards available on the market. Made of epoxy, spruce and hemlock, these boards are nine times stronger than the average fiberglass board. The nose of the HP Longboard is made for walking it, and the tail is designed for easy movement. A great board for all levels. Custom sized. The best. Around $900.

Fear not the beaches of South Africa, Australia or Northern California. Attach Shark Shield FREEDOM7 to your surfboard as a leash, to SCUBA equipment, or to a snorkel - and you will be surrounded by a protective field of electrodes. The emitted frequency goes straight to the Ampullae of Lorenzini (previously known as a “shark snout”) sending sharks into seizures, while ensuring you make it back to shore. Think of the $645 pricetag as $1 per stitch you might need without this.
