Wilkerson Surfcraft

Handmade surfboards by Matt Wilkerson Professional Shaper • Glasser• Noosa Heads QLD• Makaha Hawaii• San Diego ,Ca.

Matt's passion is creating the finest surfboards entirely by hand.

Why? "I prefer to use an entirely manual process as it gives you a much better connection and feel for the board. "

Matt started learning the process of crafting surfboards as a young guy with Rusty in San Diego. It was there he met some of the most incredible people and craftsmen.  One incredible shaper was Pat Rawson, his surfboards always had a unique look to them and his theory of board and blank design was something Matt 'holds in high regard'.  Hawaii had always been his dream so as a twenty year old moved there to hone his craft. Working with Donald Takayama was one of the high points.  "I don't think i ever looked at surfboards the same", he says.  "I lived on the North Shore where I made both long boards and short boards.  Locals and legends rode my boards, it was never about the money, it was about the waves.  I moved West to Makaha and life in a Hawaiian surfing community showed me a whole new life.  Watching a gun I made paddle out at The Eddie was another one of those special times.  The history and waves at Makaha on the West Side and experiencing a whole different vibe where my own label grew."

Now Based out of Noosa, Matt continues to produce some incredible looking surfboards and completes the entire process start to finish on his own.
