About Us
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Surfactory was founded in Gaia, Portugal, in 2010 and relocated in 2020 to new, modern facilities in Ovar, Aveiro district. This move enabled us to expand our operations and significantly increase our production capacity. As a dedicated surfboard manufacturer, we started with a passion for high-quality craftsmanship and a commitment to delivering surfboards that meet the highest standards of performance.
In addition to our own brand, Xtreme Surfdesign, we proudly represent and produce surfboards for iconic brands such as Local Motion Hawaii, Jim Banks Surfboards, Country Surfboards, Eberly Surfboards from the legendary Tom Eberly, MG Surfboards from Australia, and now Lightning Bolt USA, one of the most recognized surf brands globally.
QUALITY FIRST
Surfactory is more than just a surfboard factory or a physical and online store; we are a corporate group strategically organized to operate across all divisions of the surf industry. Our expertise encompasses production, distribution, and marketing, making us a comprehensive and reliable partner for surf enthusiasts and industry professionals alike. Every surfboard we produce is crafted with precision, using top-quality materials and advanced techniques to deliver boards that perform exceptionally in all wave conditions.
GLOBAL EXPANSION
In 2025, Surfactory took a bold step by expanding to the North American market with the establishment of Surfactory USA LLC in Oceanside, California. This new facility allows us to produce, distribute, and sell the same high-quality boards and brands that have earned us recognition in Europe. Our U.S. operation follows the same stringent standards of craftsmanship, ensuring that surfers in the United States can access premium boards designed to enhance their wave-riding experience.
We are proud to manufacture surfboards for national and international brands, independent shapers, surf shops, and companies seeking private-label production. Our mission is to provide surfers with boards they can trust – boards built with passion, precision, and innovation.
As we continue to grow, Surfactory USA remains committed to fostering the authentic surf culture while delivering exceptional products to the vibrant and diverse surfing communities of the United States.
