Spider Performance Surfboards. Shaping since 1965 🏄🏼♂️
Spider shaped his first board in 1965 at the tender age of 16 and founded War Surfboards before joining Graham Hynes at Safari as their main shaper in 1972.
He is still in the shaping bay or on the beach every day and has become one of the world‘s most experienced and prolific shapers. Spiders creative approach to surfboard design developed through his relationship with Shaun Tomson. Their partnership broke with conventional design, and the results were boards which suited Shaun’s style of maneuvering far back in the barrel.

“It’s like the mafia. Once you’re in—you’re in. There’s no getting out.” (Even when you are not surfing, you belong to it). - Kelly Slater
Spider talks about the starting point for designing a board for a customer.
Spider talks about the Grom Bomb model.
It is designed to enable you to increase your wave count and hone the skills necessary to move onto high-performance boards. Combined with a sick colour design and some focus and dedication, this board could be your stepping stone to the WSL. Best suited to the grom who is just starting out.
Spider talks about The Bomb model, suitable for the entry level surfer.
