6'10 X 20"2 X 3/4
Performance Big wave Short Board
Handcrafted in South Africa Since 1965
Having shaped boards for more than 20 World Champions over a 55 year period, Spider has developed a consultative style that brings out the best from some of the world’s most innovative surfers. Part of his magic process is inviting champs to shape the board with him.
It has been said that twice, he has successfully disrupted the world's surfboard industry with his creations. First with Shaun Tompson's "Pink Banana” Pipeline board he created in 1974 and then again with green "The Saint" 5'5" twinnie for Martin Potter in 1981.
Spider first shaped a board in 1963 at the tender age of 16 and founded War Surfboards before joining Graham Hynes at Safari Surfboards as their main Shaper in 1972, following the departure of Andrew Ogilvie.
If you pop your head into Safari and catch Spider in his shaping bay, it is evident that even after having shaped 90 000+ boards, Spider is still giving all his effort and dedication to every single board. He refers to it as boards with “added soul” and that’s something you can actually feel once you get hold of one.
His latest masterpiece the Spider Missile Pro is already making serious waves in the surfing industry.
No matter how many articles and interviews he is featured in, he still remains a humble, spirited innovator.

We all need a bit of help once in a while! Some more than others…
So here is a little guideline to some questions you might have.
Why should I buy from your Store?
You are buying from a real CANADIAN Surf Shop. We ship directly from our Shop and don’t use any middle-man 3rd party drop shipping.
We are located on Vancouver Island and have been here since 1998. Drop by anytime to see us, we are open 7 days a week 8:30-5.
All purchases to the USA or anywhere else in the World are final.
How do I place an order?
I think most of us have been through this process before, it’s pretty simple –
Browse though our Website until you see something you need or want (or both)
Select the “Add to Cart” button and then “Continue Shopping”
You can “View Cart” at anytime and make sure you have the correct products and quantity added.
Once you are ready to “Checkout” please fill in all your details, this way if we need to contact you we can get hold of you.
Shipping
We use Shopify Shipping which, due to their size, provides the best rates.
We’ll try to use recycled boxes and materials whenever we can, so don’t be surprised when your T-Shirt, Wax and Ding repair kit arrives in a recycled bootie box.
We are not responsible for "Porch Pirates" or items that have been lost after being picked up by a shipping company. That being said, we will do our best to find out what happened to your package and advocate on your behalf.
Purchasing a Surfboard or Stand up Paddleboard (SUP)
Boards are pretty fragile and SUPs are big, so to ship these across the county can be costly.
We don’t typically ship boards, you may however purchase a board now, but it will be for pick-up only at our store on Vancouver Island. If you wish to have someone pick the board up on your behalf, we will gladly pack it very securely for an additional $40.00 packaging fee. The board will leave here in new condition and we will not take any responsibility for any damage. After purchasing a board, please call us Toll Free at 1(855)594-5452 during business hours to confirm pick up details.
