🇮🇹 Bologna, Italy
Linfa Surfboards (Madera & Eco) is a surfboard shaping workshop based in Bologna, Italy. It mainly builds wood, eco, longboard, fish, shortboard, offering handmade custom boards for local and visiting surfers. Buying from a local shaper supports the craft, cuts the footprint of shipping mass-produced boards and gets you a board designed for your local waves.

To order a custom board, message the workshop with your weight, height, surfing level and the waves you usually surf: with that the shaper can suggest dimensions and volume. Bear in mind a custom board usually takes several weeks, especially in high season. How many litres do you need? Try the surfboard volume calculator.
What boards Linfa Surfboards (Madera & Eco) makes
- Wood: boards built fully or partly from wood: more durable, with a different feel.
- Eco: boards made with lower-impact materials (bio resins, recycled cores or certified wood).
- Longboard: long boards (over 9 ft) with lots of float, ideal for small waves, beginners or classic noseriding.
- Fish: short, wide boards with a swallow tail; fast and easy to paddle in small to medium waves.
- Shortboard: short, low-volume boards built to turn in powerful waves; aimed at intermediate and advanced surfers.
- Gun: long, narrow boards for big waves, where paddle speed and control matter most.
- Custom: made-to-measure boards: the shaper adapts dimensions, volume and design to your weight, level and local waves.
