MADE ON LONG ISLAND

Think of all of the surf shops out there, tons right?? They're all over the area too. Not many take the time anymore to hand shape their boards, plus some outsource all of the work and components that go into making a board. All Nature's Shapes boards are hand made.


There is an assembly line that takes place and it is actually really cool if you think about all of the time and different elements that go into one board. Each person gets a hand in it and helps create each little masterpiece. So it's all made on Long Island. Hand-crafted. It's one of those nostalgic things that you never want to go away. Hopefully even with the cheap boards coming out left and right, nothing will ever take the place of the craft and art of making boards, because to be honest, it's amazing.

Check out one of the crew out in the water. This paddleboard was made in the factory and even her dog loves riding it. It seems like everyone enjoys summer as much as we do...
