About the Goat shed

Hand Crafted shapes, by your local creatives

The idea became alive with the vision of going beyond the current mainstream surfboard industry. So far, The Goat Shed has become a hub open to anyone who is willing to take their passion about the ocean a step further by allowing anyone to learn and explore the theory and physical emotions that the different set of glides embody beyond what meets the eye. With the idea of achieving a more connected, environmentally and mentally healthy community.

We offer to the community a curated selection of surfboards made by us, friends or donated and upcycled. The surfboard library works as a common library, allowing anyone to borrow the items from our collection free of charge and in a pretty straightforward way:

Pick up a surfboard you would like to try
Let us know what and when and for how long you want it
Grab it from the shed Go for as many surfs as you want
Bring it back to the shed and… pick another one
