The Board Awards

UPDATE 01/07/24: WINNERS ANNOUNCED! Details on how they won their categories below.

Let's have a bit of fun...

We are stoked to announce the Boardshop Board Awards 2024, celebrating the best in surfboard innovation and performance.

It’s kind of like the OSCARS, if you swapped the films for surfboards and took away all the prestige and gold trophies.

Nominations begin Monday 3rd June 2024 and voting starts  Monday 17th June 2024

Each year, we are blown away with the creativity and craftmanship that comes out of the world of surfboard shaping. So, we thought what better way to celebrate these feats of artistry than with a series of prestigious awards.

With 10 prestigious awards up for grabs, including Board of the Year, Most Innovative Board, Shaper of The Year, and more, this is your chance to help us recognise and honor the boards we love.

Join us in showcasing the surfboards that have set new standards and pushed the boundaries of design and functionality.

- Then, over the following 10 weekdays, the 4 most nominated boards for each award will then go to a public vote where YOU will decide the winners.
