Wedge & Maisch Team Riders The History of Wedge Surfboards & Maisch Fins - Since 1966 Contact Us

Wedge Surfboards are handmade with either PU, EPS, XPS Foam core. Laminated with Hexcel glass using high-grade epoxys and resins.

Standard laminations of 6oz bottom deck and 6oz + 4oz top deck, kevlar reinforced tail, carbon-reinforced glass-on fins and finished off with a gloss coat to wet/dry 1000grit.

Optional extras of spray designs, polishes and fin systems with MAISCH 'Pure Glass' fins.

All Wedge surfboards are handshaped by Gary 'Gazo' Maisch who has over 12,000 shapes to his name.

We custom handcraft a limited number of only one board per day with a minimum of 10 hours of skilled labour in each, and takes 3-4 weeks to make from when receiving confirmation of order + 50% deposit. At a cost, no matter where you are worldwide, we can send you your board, using the freight of your choice.
