"I spent over $3k last year trying to find the right board. I can finally stop blaming my surfing now that I've stopped fighting my board."

CALIBRATION CORRECTS FOR
HOW YOU ACTUALLY SURF

CALIBRATION CORRECTS
FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY SURF

The boards you bought that don't work were designed for
a 160-pound pro with perfect timing and flawless technique.

For everyday surfers, that shows up as late takeoffs,
missed sections, and turns that stall before they connect.

You’re not stuck because of skill.
You’re fighting equipment that wasn’t built for you.

CALIBRATION CORRECTS FOR
HOW YOU ACTUALLY SURF

Stance-Calibrated Fin Position

Problem: Most intermediate surfers don’t get their back foot all the way against the tail kick when they turn.

Calibration: Axis adjusts fin position to match your natural stance and weight distribution.

Result: The board initiates, accelerates, and holds through turns without forcing you to change how you surf. Your back foot finally feels connected.

Skill-Calibrated Rail Profile

Problem: Most rails are designed for surfers with higher skill, better timing, and more powerful waves.

Calibration: Axis calibrates rail shape to your personal skill level, turning style, and the waves you actually surf.

Result: You get reliable hold when you need it—with forgiveness where you don’t. Mistakes don't instantly punish you.

Style-Calibrated Tail Shape

Problem: Most tails are designed around how the pro who tested the board surfs—not how you do.

Calibration: Axis adjusts tail shape based on how you generate speed, finish turns, and how you want the board to respond underfoot.

Result: Turns connect naturally instead of stalling out or breaking loose unexpectedly. The board matches how you like to surf.

Goal-Calibrated Width

Problem: Pros test boards at 27 liters. But then the board gets scaled up to 32 liters or more and the geometry breaks down.

Calibration: Axis balances width to maximize early planing while preserving clean rail-to-rail transitions for your specific goals.

Result: You get easy speed and stability without giving up responsiveness or control. This is the balance of flow and control you've been looking for.

Calibration takes about 8 minutes and
translates how you surf into
the board you should be riding.

Got questions?

Everything you need
to know about Axis

Can’t I just get a custom from a local shaper for a lot less?

Why is Axis more than a board off the rack?

What if the recommended specs look different from what I expected?

What if it doesn’t work for me?

Why polyurethane instead of epoxy?

Where and how are AXIS boards made?

Why I created Axis…

I’m 57 years old. I’ve been surfing for over forty years.

For most of that time, I was trying to get better, buying
board after board—convinced the problem was me.

Then I bought a used board on a whim—a short midlength built for
glide and easy speed, but short enough to turn.
I rode it everywhere: Southern California beach breaks,
Hawaii’s South Shore, Nicaragua, the Mentawais. It worked in all of it.

That’s when it clicked. The boards I’d been buying weren’t wrong.
They just weren’t designed for me. They were templates
built for 160-pound pro athletes.

So I took that board and reverse-engineered it.
What made it work? Why did it work for me but not for everyone?
I built an entire calibration system around those questions.

Axis One is that board taken to the next level.
Midlength paddle power and glide, kept short enough to turn,
then AI-calibrated to your specific body and mechanics.

At 57, people still ask what I’m riding—not because I’m stronger or faster,
but because of the speed I generate and the number of waves I catch.

That’s what happens when your equipment is designed for you.
