"I want to surf more. I want to catch more waves, with more control, on great boards that I feel intuitively connected to. Doing less damage to this planet while I do so wouldn't be such a bad idea, either."

Welcome to the Gen2 Project.

Since the beginning of AW, we've been trying to make better surfboards. Stronger, lighter boards, that are more intuitive to surf and more sustainable to build. Herein lies our first iteration. The boards you see on this page are original AW templates wrapped in a new generation of materials - epoxy bioresin, recyclable EPS cores and uniaxial carbon fibre, wrapped in an impact-resistant innegra+biax layup.

These boards are our best boards yet.

Can I try Gen2?
Yes, totally. We're stashing a selection of demo boards at Walters, St Agnes, where you'll be able to try one for free. All we ask for in return is feedback. Tell us everything.

Can I order a custom in Gen2?
Yes, totally. All of our templates will be available to order in Gen2 imminently. Keep your eyes on our social media for the release date, then slide onto AW Store and select your template.

The Gen2 Project tells the true story of what we're trying to achieve.

Stronger, lighter surfboards that are more intuitive to surf and more sustainable to build and use.
