Frequently Asked Questions

I want to get some advise on board design, and specifications before I order. 

Send through all questions to info@onboardindustries.com.au and one of our staff will be quick to help you with your queries.

Can i collect my order from one of the Onboard Store's in Australia rather than paying for shipping?

Yes. After you have built your custom board, select the ‘pick up’ option in the checkout and you will have the option to collect your new custom board from either of our stores in Mona Vale, or Byron Bay. This is freight free and will not have any additional shipping costs.

Where will my board be built? 

All customs will be shaped in Sydney, mainly out of our factory in Mona Vale. The shaped blanks will then be sent to various glassing facilities depending on different specifications such as tints, materials & shape. Most PU boards will be glassed in Mona Vale, Sydney, and Spine-Teks are glassed out of Kina Road in Tweed Heads.

Item does not fit or is the wrong size. 

Let us know via. info@onboardindustries.com.au and we will shoot through a return label to send the product back. We can either send you a size up/ down or refund you for your purchase.

Does my surfboard come with fins?

No, fins will not be included in your board order unless you specify that you would like glassed in fins for your custom board. If you need fins with your board, you can let us know & ask for choice advise in the confirmation email post custom order.

Do you offer EPS and/or Epoxy surfboards?

Yes we offer both technologies in custom boards in Stringered blanks.
