Our surfboards are unique offering the best of the past, bringing it to the present, boards that ride great and look impressive. Riff Raff board builders come from various backgrounds and shaping styles, creating surfboards for such riders as Dino Miranda, Sunny Garcia, Martin Potter, Rusty Keaulana, Johnny Boy Gomes and many more. But they all have one thing in common, the love for the “classic old school” board, thus we are able to create a unique line up of custom surfboards, from all eras. When you order a board from Riff Raff you have the piece of mind that your board is truly custom, no two boards are alike, as they are hand crafted from start to finish solely for you, the rider.

I ride mostly my custom fish and 78 twin stinger from P. Rawson(like in the picture above, my go to board for any condition). Infact Akila Aipa is going to make me a suped up MR Twin soon. I’m older than the aveerage 23 year old but, I still love to ride like I still am that age. The pictures of boards you have on your website are the kinds I love to ride. I’ll send the pictures of my boards if you are interested.

i just bought a board from nick thomson at riff raff surfboards, and i am amazed at the quality.
i have been buying direct from mandala for over 2 years and it s been a hassle to ship. NOW i am really excited to see how my second order turns out from nick.
the shape was flawless, and i am really happy with his skills the board is probably the fastes ive ever riden (quad fish, 5.9 x 20 3/8 x 2 3/8).
the board turns phenominally, i have riden the board in surf between 2-4 ft hawaiian and some set around 5-6 ft AND IT HANDLED! i was really surpise (but glad!).
the glass job was one of the nicest too (and its on island) i got a brown resin tint and the polish was reall, really fine.
all i can say is, “at last” i am behond happy with my board and would recommend it to anyone who like to ride classic/retro shapes of a high quality, i paid $630 for mine, which is a deal considering the quality compaired to the price of matching surfboards out there on the market.
MAHALO NICK!! and see you in a few months for that single fin i wanted!!! ALOHA AIKO
