3P Surfboards was born in the surf culture of Australia's Merewether Beaches back in 2001. Former professional surfer Paul Parkes, after years of travelling the world and gaining knowledge from the best surfers and shapers, created the brand. Starting from humble beginnings, 3P Surfboards has now grown to have a state-of-the-art two-storey factory capable of producing over 100 surfboards per week.
The range of surfboards offered by 3P includes performance shortboards, fun boards, guns, and longboards, catering to surfers of all levels and preferences. The team behind 3P Surfboards is highly experienced and passionate about their craft.
Testimonials from surfers who have experienced the excellence of 3P Surfboards speak highly of the exceptional service and superior quality of the boards. The ability of 3P to reproduce the perfect dimensions and overall board that works for each surfer is made possible by their epic machine shaping technologies.
Surf commentator Terry McKenna commends Paul Parkes' drive for perfection and his hi-tech approach to board building, which has made him one of the best board makers in Australia. Craig Rosevear values 3P Surfboards' pursuit of performance perfection and appreciates Paul's personal attention to detail while shaping boards that suit his surfing style. Gold Coast surfer Scott Wildon has been impressed with the performance and quality of Paul's boards, having surfed professionally with him for many years.
In addition to offering new surfboards, 3P Surfboards also has a range of second-hand boards available for purchase, with affordable prices for those in the market for a used board. The boardroom at 3P is where customers can view over 50 new surfboards of various shapes and sizes, either to make a purchase or aid in designing their custom order. The boardroom also offers a demonstration board service for those wanting to test ride boards before placing an order.
Keeping true to the origins of the brand, 3P Surfboards stays connected with the surf community and regularly shares updates and news on social media. Recently, 3P was thrilled to host renowned surfing coach Llewellyn Shitakar and his team of pro surfers, including Leon Glatzer, Ethan Fletcher, and Dylan Groen. The latest board model, the 24/7, was put to the test during the HIF NSW Surfmasters Championships, where it led one of the team riders to a well-deserved third place.
3P Surfboards is not only known for its exceptional boards but also for the passion and expertise of its founder and team. With a dedication to performance perfection, attention to detail, and a commitment to providing surfers with the best boards, 3P Surfboards continues to make waves in the Australian surf industry.
