The Shaping Bay
Where Mellowwave surfboards are made.
The entrance looking in to the shaping bay where MellowWave surfboards are hand crafted by Steve James. This is where you would pick your board up from, Steve will show you around the bay and explain how your board was made (if your interested of course) you should leave with a real understanding of your new MellowWave surfboard

A MellowWave minimal in the shaping bay after final sanding. All our boards are glossed as extra protection, and then sanded to a top quality finish. Can also can have a polished finish. Steve James having a last look before he finishes dusting this beauty.
Steve has been shaping under the name "Special Brew Surfboards" Since the early 90's and has also made boards for company's like Salt Rock. We are pleased that someone with so much experience is working with MellowWave.
Retro MellowWave Twin Fin on the glassing table. You will notice by the floor that many surfboards have been born here.
I love the 70's shapes, these boards were really made to have fun on. This one has a sanded finish and is ready to go.
Steve also makes his own fins so you can have any style you want.   Click on Fin to see others.
This is a 6'7" x 21 x 2 3/4 twin fin with a polished  finish.
The customer wanted removable D fins so we made the fins so they would fit in to FCS plugs. You can see the different fins we do for these boards on the Retro Fish page.

After picking up his brothers retro fish Chris Stevens had to have a board for himself
