Adrenaline Surf Craft sits at 31 Main Rd in Sumner, Christchurch, trading online as Sadhana Surf and House of Creativity, with a 4.0 Google rating from one review. Its website offers traditionally built surfboards, made with what it calls a dedication to glide and flow.
Hand-shaped surfboards are a quiet craft alongside mass-produced boards. Longboards in the 9'0 to 10'0 range are built to trim and glide, ideal for gentle points and small summer surf, while shorter boards around 5'6 to 6'3 trade that glide for looser turns. Ordering custom lets a surfer match length, colour and finish to their weight and the waves they actually ride, and a good shaper will talk the dimensions through before the blank is touched. Workshops that also supply materials to other NZ board builders tend to be well connected in the local shaping scene.
From Main Rd in Sumner, it's a handy stop for Christchurch surfers heading through to Sumner's beach.
