Tolhurst Surfboards Australia

Tolhurst Surfboards are shaped by Australian craftsman Billy Tolhurst, whose work sits at the intersection of traditional longboard design and contemporary performance. Billy's boards are known for their smooth, considered outlines, classic aesthetics, and the kind of feel underfoot that only comes from a shaper who genuinely understands how a board should move through water. His longboards and mid-lengths have built a loyal following among surfers who want something that looks as good as it rides.

A significant part of what sets Tolhurst boards apart is the construction technology behind them. Billy works with Thunderbolt Technology, one of the most advanced surfboard manufacturing systems available, to produce boards that go beyond what traditional PU and epoxy construction can offer. Thunderbolt boards are built using carbon fibre reinforcement and parabolic stringers, creating a construction that is lighter, stronger, and more responsive than conventional methods. The result is a board that retains the flow and feel of a hand-shaped traditional design while delivering a level of performance and durability that modern surfers expect.

The Tolhurst range centres on longboards and mid-lengths — shapes that reward a smooth, flowing approach to surfing and perform best in the kind of waves that make up the majority of Australian sessions. Whether you're after a classic noserider for point break perfection or a more versatile mid-length that can handle a range of conditions, Tolhurst has a shape worth riding.
