Combining 18 years of experience working in high-end production factories, and the know-how gained surfing in national competition; Surfer/Shaper Jordie Brown (a qualified Shipwright) has established himself and his boards amongst the best Victoria has to offer in the
way of 100% handcrafted customized Surfcraft. Jordie’s vision is to bring a youthful edge to a dying trade and to inject contemporary innovation into classic design. Every High Tide board is 100% hand made; from the glue up of the blank to the final polish. With the time consuming nature of production and an emphasis on quality over quantity, High Tide produce between 4 to 6 custom Surfcraft a month. Board designs are based on the heavier old-school style construction using weightier, longer lasting, pigmented and tinted glass-jobs; a variety of solid timber stringers, and finish coats and polishes. High tide is also interested in working with natural and recycled materials in the production of our innovative, 100% organic timber and finless board designs. This includes using traditional and original designs and experimenting with natural organic oils and waxes. Not only are our boards inspired by eras past, but High Tide also takes on choice restorations to bring old boards back to life, replicating and improving on traditional design.
“We pride our selves on delivering high quality custom made Surfcraft for the individual surfer.
