Appleton Surfboards

Diogo Appleton shapes out of Lisbon, and his boards lean to the alternative end: keel fish, twin pins, single-fin point shooters, gliders and longboards, plus his own fin range. Everything is hand-shaped.

The designs are about trim and speed off the front foot rather than vertical surfing, and they suit the softer, longer walls around Lisbon and Caparica as much as a clean point. Custom orders through the site.
