How to Order a Custom Surfboard at the BELL Store Hossegor

Ordering a custom surfboard with us isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s about crafting your next chapter. At BELL, we shape boards to match your mindset.

Whether you’re chasing reef breaks in the Pacific or clean walls on the Landes coast, we’re here to help you define every detail.

Here’s how to make it happen.

Custom your board now

1. EXPLORE THE MODELS THAT MATCH YOUR SURF

From performance shortboards to road-trip-friendly mid-lengths, take the time to explore our range of curated shapes — including designs by BELL and select world-leading brands. Every board available for custom order has been tested and approved by our riders and shapers.

2. LOCK IN YOUR DIMENSIONS

You can choose your exact dimensions — or trust our standard sizing as a starting point.
We’ll guide you through:

  • Length
  • Width
  • Thickness
  • Volume

Not sure? We’re here in-store at Hossegor to help you find the right volume and outline for your level and goals.

3. TAIL SHAPE: DEFINE YOUR DRIVE

From squash to swallow, round pin to step-up tails — your tail shape will influence your board’s speed, flow, and control. We’ll help you align this choice with your preferred conditions and style.

4. PICK YOUR FIN SYSTEM

  • FCS or FUTURES – choose the system that suits your fin quiver.
  • Fin setup – single, twin, thruster, quad, or 5-fin combo.
  • Fin box colour – a subtle detail, but one that makes your board truly yours.

5. GLASSING OPTION

We recommend the classic 4x4x4 for balanced durability and flex. But if you’re looking for ultralight performance or reinforced strength, we’ll tailor the layup to your riding needs.

6. PERSONALISE THE STRINGER

Your name, a quote, or a reminder of the journey ahead — we can write it on the stringer, sealed under the glass forever. One detail, just for you.

7. LEAVE A COMMENT FOR THE SHAPER

This is where you get personal. Let us know where you’ll surf it, what you expect from it, and the kind of sessions you're envisioning.

Example:“I’ll surf this board on Indo reef passes and long summer road trips.”It helps us shape with more meaning.

8. CONFIRM AND LAUNCH THE BUILD

Once your choices are locked in, we’ll take care of the rest. Think of it not as “adding to cart” — but as launching the build of your next move.

Your board will be shaped at our Euroglass facility in Hossegor, with the same hands and care trusted by world champions. You’ll be kept in the loop, from shaping bay to glassing room.
