INDEPENDENT SHAPER. INDIVIDUAL SOUL.

LESS ORDINARY.

Your waves. Your style. Your board.
Custom surfboards by Gary Wilson, since 1995.

RETRO VIBES. MODERN PERFORMANCE.

BUILT TO RIDE              ✳              SHAPED WITH SOUL             ✳              NEVER OFF THE RACK              ✳              KEEP THE STOKE ALIVE

01 / THE LINEUP

FIND YOUR FLOW.

From your first wave to your favorite wave.
There’s a Kinetic shape for the way you surf.

Not sure where to start? That’s what your shaper is for.

02 / THE MAN BEHIND THE FOAM

A LOCAL SHAPER.
A LIFETIME OF STOKE.

Kinetic is Gary Wilson. A planer, a paintbrush, and decades spent figuring out what makes a board feel right under your feet.

Since 1995, he’s been creating custom surfboards with one goal: getting you on the right equipment for where you are in your surfing. First paddle out or a lifetime in the lineup—you belong here.
