Boards Designed To Give You More Than Performance

It's All About Feeling & Connection

There’s a big difference between a board that just goes alright and one that feels alive under your feet. That feeling—that connection—is where the Nev Future Shapes philosophy begins.

While we’ve recently launched in Bali and are now offering a way for you to order your board before you arrive in Indo for your next surf trip—the heart of what we do starts in the cutting room and shaping bay. It’s here in the factory, where decades of surfboard design and rider feedback come together to create boards that don’t just look good, but feel right. Because when your board is dialled in and feels right, your surfing changes and goes up another level—and when you’re in Indo, riding near-perfect waves, feeling that connection to your board makes all the difference.

Fine Tuned Over Decades 

Nev Hyman has been shaping boards for a long time. From the early days starting out at Burleigh Heads, to revolutionizing the surfboard building process and then founding Firewire Surfboards, Nev’s history is deep and full of stories that crossover many of surfing's innovative eras. And now, Nev Future Shapes brings him back to his roots—focused on building a shaper/surfer experience, so that customers can enjoy the benefits of riding a board that has been made to order. 

Nev's design approach blends decades of shaping craftsmanship with an understanding of how modern surfers want to ride—fast and fluid, with drive and control. Every plan shape, rail line, foil and rocker are designed with one thing in mind: how the board responds and performs in world-class waves.

Whether you’re wanting a step-up that's built for charging Uluwatu or a high-performance shortboard perfect for ripping Keramas, Nev’s design intention is always clear: to give you the trust in your board and confidence to surf better. No matter what style of board you’re looking for, the Nev Future Shapes range of stock dimensions has been fine tuned with Indo in mind—designed to handle everything from mechanically peeling reefs to fast hollow barrels, and built to withstand the wave power that Bali and the Indonesian archipelago is known for.

It's All in the Details

Things like entry rocker, foil, rail thickness and volume distribution aren’t just specs on a page. They’re the fine details that matter and dictate how your board is going to respond when you’re holding through a bottom turn, hitting critical sections, and putting everything you got into a cutback.

The Nev range of boards have been designed to give you more than just performance—they give you trust and add an edge to your surfing. Because when your board responds the way you want it to—you surf better, you surf with more freedom and you surf with more stoke.

Made to Order

All of our boards are made to order, so when you place an order with Nev Future Shapes we will build a new board specifically for you. We see every new board as a collaboration between shaper and surfer—and that’s exactly what keeps us stoked! 

Planning a surf trip to Indo soon? Need a board that’s built to handle those perfect walls and take your stoke to the next level? We’ve got you covered.

Choose your board model, pick your dims, select your fin system and add a colour spray or resin tint if you’re wanting to turn heads in the lineup. We’ll shape it, glass it and have it ready when you land in Bali.
