Swami's surf boards

Swami’s is named after the infamous point break in Southern California where the founding members used to surf.  Established in NYC in 2000, the label is now based in London, continuing their reputed surfboard production as well as creating an ever growing collection of surf essentials and accessories. Swami’s is the Hindi name for Master, combined with a love of surfing the brand is set on a quest to ensure that their products won’t harm waterways and the ocean. Products are made with an emphasis on art, design and craft and produced in an environmentally sound way working with European craftsmen and supporting small initiatives in developing countries.

By focussing on the iconic board shapes that defined the modern era of surfing through 50s - 70s, the Monk is hand made in England with a back-to-basics celebration of classic board building technics; double wrapped patched decks, tail blocks, split gloss/wet n' dry finishes all in deep resin colored tints shaped with premium modern materials and processes. The Monk is Swami's quintessential single fin logging board - built for effortless glide. With plenty of volume and weight, flattened nose and tail widths are the key aspects together with round rails and rolled bottom to complimented the deep teardrop concave in the nose. The perfect solid platform for timeless nose riding, makes for catching the smallest waves early, with plenty of room to take a stroll.

This board is the cornerstone of our collaboration collection with Paul Smith. Available in a very limited edition of 50, each board is individually numbered and signed by Sir Paul Smith along with the owners' initials set into the deck.
