Puzzle surfboards

Let’s go… turning foam into a proper wave machine 🤌🏼
Big debate in the bay , keep it clean white, subtle tint, or go full mad scientist? 🤔

Big thanks for the visit and the legend wife

Jon was a proper surfer back in the day with the old-school Brighton crew — surfed Morocco, Mundaka and a bunch of European spots that only a handful of people even knew about.

Man… I wish I lived those days.

Nowadays you either pay to surf behind a concrete wall or you need a bulletproof vest and a samurai sword just to catch one wave. 🌊

Blanks arrived today 🤍

Big ones for Mini Logs,
fresh cores for Mids,
and some beautiful foam for long, flowing Fish shapes.

I’ll be opening a few custom builds from March —
slow, handmade, and built with intention.

If you feel like creating something together,
the order form is open on the website.

This is a classic retro fish, hand-shaped from start to finish.
Low rocker, wide outline, swallow tail — fast, smooth and playful.
5’10” × 20 7/8” × 2 1/2”.

Available on my website shortly.

Same cloth.
One without resin, one with.
Fragile vs structural.
That’s the difference making makes.

This is why Puzzle exists.

Since day one, back in 2019, I’ve only done one thing: design and make objects with my hands. Surfboards, jewellery, small objects… the material doesn’t really matter.

What matters is the intention.

I’m not chasing perfection, I actually don’t want it.
I’m chasing something unique.
Something with character.
Like a fingerprint. Like DNA.

Seeing a customer collect something made specifically for them, knowing it didn’t exist before and won’t exist again, that feeling never gets old.

Puzzle is still here because the work is PERSONAL.
Because the object and the person have to make sense together.

RRASO is about to begin the same way this year, quietly, carefully, like a small child learning how to walk.
Same hands.
Same values.
Just a new chapter.

Like puzzle pieces — different, imperfect, but right.

Board finished and available on the website by tonight

This egg sits just over 6’1” and carries a more pulled-in, refined outline than a traditional egg , keeping all the glide, paddle power and forgiveness, but with extra control and drive when the wave opens up.

Set up as a quad (yes, quad), this board is built to stay fast and keep momentum through the flat sections we deal with far too often in our surf. Easy speed, smooth rail-to-rail flow, and plenty of hold when you lean into it.

Finished in a yellow tint deck with black bottom, red pinlines, and Future fin boxes. Clean, classic, and quietly aggressive.

This one’s not for everyone , but for the right surfer, it’s a serious treat.
🎄 Christmas present sorted.

This year has been really special for Puzzle Surfboards.
I shaped a lot of boards, met a lot of new people, and most importantly put a lot of smiles on faces.

That’s what Puzzle is really about connecting the pieces: you, the board, and the ocean.

I’m finishing this year with a project that means more than just another board. It’s about my origins, my home country, and more than a decade of memories. Adding those stripes to this fun board this morning was just a moment of pure gratitude.

Next year will be bigger — mid-lengths, mini longboards, longboards — with jewellery running alongside it all.
At the end of the day it’s always about the craft. Foam, wood, or gold — we’re here to make things properly and help along the way.
Thank you Rafael Raso

I’m loving this mini-log — the perfect hybrid for any intermediate surfer.
Stretch it a bit longer and it becomes an unreal beginner board too.

This one comes from my original Speedster template, shaped and refined again and again… just taken longer for that smooth glide. EPS core, clean lines, and now ready for lamination with some special Italian 🇮🇹 pin lines for .nutile1988 🤙🏼

Nothing beats bringing a fresh shape to life.

Just like new 🤙🏼

I’m selling my North Code 0 10m in that beautiful blue colour — single strut, super light, and responsive in the sky. I bought it because I wanted to feel that lightness and quick reaction, and it really delivers. I only ride strapless (no foil), and for me it just didn’t have the punch I need...
