Hugo Cartaxana's Santa Cruz factory, two decades in. SPO shapes performance and competition boards and most of the tow boards used up the coast at Nazaré.

SPO is Hugo Cartaxana's shaping operation in Santa Cruz, going about twenty years. He builds performance and contest boards for competitive surfers, and SPO makes most of the tow boards the crews take out at Nazaré, just up the coast.

Contact is direct through the shaper - Facebook (Spo Surfboard) or by asking at Santa Cruz. Not a walk-in shop; boards are commissioned.
