Why You Should Order Your Surfboard Before Landing in Bali
Flying to Bali with your board used to be part of the adventure..
These days, with high-quality boards now being shaped in Bali, it's just not as necessary — and more of a hassle than it’s worth. Board baggage fees are rising, the length of board you can travel with has changed, damage from baggage handlers is common, and finding the right board after landing can be hit or miss — especially during peak season. That’s why more surfers are starting to pre-order their boards before they land in Bali.
Here’s something to think about if you’re coming to Bali soon.
Avoid Airline Damage and Fees
We’ve seen it all — crushed rails, damaged noses, holes in the deck, and board bags that have been mysteriously unzipped. Even with the best travel bags, boards don’t always survive the trip. Plus add on $150–$300 in baggage fees and taxis — often it's a better option to buy a board and have it delivered once you arrive.
Get the Right Board for Indo Waves
If you’re gonna be surfing in Bali, you want the right board that's made for local conditions. Our quiver of Nev Future Shapes are built in Bali and made for Indo wave conditions. From powerful and thumping reefs, to fast and hollow beach breaks — we’ve got something in the Nev quiver that’ll maximise your stoke in the lineup. When you order through us, we’ll shape a board that suits your level of experience, style of surfing, and the types of waves you’ll be chasing around Bali or Indo.
Get Your Board Delivered to Your Accommodation
When you order a board before you arrive, we’ll have it ready for you when you arrive. Once you land in Bali and check into your room, just let us know you’ve arrived and we’ll deliver your new board directly to your hotel or villa, ready to ride. No searching around town, no compromises on board dimensions, no missed sessions.

Our boards in Bali are built by our team of local and international shapers, who use premium imported materials and Nev’s proven surfboard shapes and designs.
