About Sadhana Surfboards

Sadhana Surfboards is a surfboard shaper and surf shop based in Christchurch, offering everything from custom-shaped boards to secondhand surfboards, board building supplies, and surf accessories. The retail store operates from The Tannery in Christchurch CBD, with a separate trade and deliveries address for wholesale and shipping.

Sadhana produces a wide range of surfboard shapes and models, from classic logs and mid-lengths through to fish and shortboards, alongside named models like the Red Lady, King Fish, Piggy, Cheater, Jazz, Harbourmaster, Kingpin, Twinster, Schooner and more. Customers can buy in-store, order a custom-shaped board, or pick up a secondhand surfboard.

Beyond boards, Sadhana also stocks NZ Board Builder Supplies for those shaping their own boards — including blanks, resin, fin plugs, shaping tools and fibreglass — plus fins, wax, leashes, board bags, and a range of clothing and accessories. The shop also offers surfboard repairs, board hire, and a "Learn to Shape" service for anyone wanting to try shaping their own board.

Sadhana Surfboards: Custom Boards & Board Building Supplies in Christchurch

Sadhana Surfboards is a Christchurch surfboard shaper and surf shop offering something for nearly every kind of rider — from classic logs and performance shortboards to fish and mid-length shapes. The retail store operates from The Tannery in Christchurch CBD, with a separate address for trade orders and deliveries.

A Wide Range of Shapes and Models

Sadhana's board range spans the full spectrum of surf shapes: Logs, Mid-lengths, Fish and Shortboards form the core categories, while a long list of named models gives riders more specific options to choose from. The Red Lady is described as a performance log — an advanced riding speed machine with a deep, long set back nose concave and a centred mid point that creates a fast, dynamic ride. The King Fish, meanwhile, is a reimagined mid-length fish template positioned as a great all-rounder in small to medium waves. Other named models in the range include Piggy, South Island Fish, Cheater, Jazz, Harbourmaster, Kingpin, Twinster, Schooner, Tubeshooter, Slot Car, Coal Miner, Accelerator, Superblob and Albatross.

Custom, Secondhand or In-Store

Customers looking for something specific can order a custom-shaped surfboard, while those on a budget can browse Sadhana's range of secondhand surfboards. There's also a full range available in-store for those who want to see and feel a board before buying.

For the Board Builders

Sadhana isn't just a retailer of finished boards — it also supplies the raw materials for anyone shaping their own. The NZ Board Builder Supplies range includes surfboard blanks, fibreglass and resin, shaping tools, and hardware like fin plugs. For those new to the craft, Sadhana also offers a Learn to Shape service, giving customers a hands-on introduction to building their own board.

Repairs, Hire and Gear

For boards that need fixing rather than replacing, Sadhana offers a surfboard repair service. Riders who want to try before they buy — or who just need a board for a trip — can also access surfboard demo and hire options. Beyond boards themselves, the shop stocks fins in box, tri, twin, and quad/trailer configurations, along with wax and grip, leashes, board bags, and tie downs. A clothing and accessories range rounds out the offering, including tees, hats, and bags.

Gifts and Vouchers

For those shopping for a surfer rather than themselves, Sadhana offers gift vouchers alongside a dedicated gifts collection, giving a flexible option for birthdays or special occasions.
