Degree 33 Surfboards is a direct to consumer surfboard brand that began in a one-bedroom apartment in 2006, with the simple goal to make some side money selling boards on Craigslist. The brand took off when when they found a real demand for carefully-crafted boards online, and teamed up with a professional surfboard shaper to produce boards that seemed tailored for each individual rider.

This No Middleman favorite has the best interests of their riders at heart, offering a 33-day “ride it” guarantee: if you’re not stoked about your board within the 33-day trial period, a board swap is covered. Now that is rad!

Degree 33 Surfboards also offer payment plans, so there is nothing holding you back from hitting the water right away. If you find yourself in San Diego, you have even more options: you can come into their shop, check out their boards, chill with the team and have any of your questions answered!
