Frequently Asked Questions
How do I order a Continue surfboard?
Select a model and an appropriate size, specify your fin box and stringer choice, and then complete the delivery and checkout page. You’ll receive an email confirmation and get periodic updates as your board is constructed.
Do Continue surfboards come with fins?
Continue surfboards are sold without fins. Please see our selection of FCS and Futures fins on the Accessories page.
What if my board is damaged, breaks, or buckles?
Welcome to the real world! Surfboards are inherently fragile and it’s inevitable that your board will eventually become damaged or destroyed. We recommend having all damage professionally repaired. Do not surf on a damaged board. Water intrusion will compromise the structural integrity.
Does Continue do surfboard repairs?
Yes… we repair both polyester and epoxy resin surfboards. We generally have a 7 day turnaround time and express services are available. Clear laminations and sanded finish only. FCS2 and Futures finbox replacements, cracks, punctures, leash plugs, pressure dents, delaminations, foam replacement, and even buckled boards. Bring us the board or send images of the damage and we’ll provide a quote to repair it.
Do you accept credit cards?
We accept most major credit cards.
How is the length of a Continue surfboard measured?
Continue surfboards are measured in a straight line plane spanning the nose to tail. This method provides continuity of measurement regardless of the make, model, or amount of rocker in the board.
Can I get a custom surfboard made?
We offer stock models and sized surfboards that have been developed, refined, and tuned for optimal performance… right out of the box. We don’t build custom boards.
How long will it take to get my board?
Continue surfboards are made to order. It generally takes about 3-4 weeks for your board to ship, but that time frame can change due to material supply issues and workload. Know that being timely and efficient is a priority, but quality takes precedence.
What are liters?
Liters are used to describe the surfboard’s volume, displacement, and buoyancy. It’s expressed as the total number of cubic liters, followed by the capital letter (L) in parenthesis. Example… 28.4(L)
Does Continue have a surf team and/or sponsor surfers?
Anyone who purchases and rides our boards may apply for a position on our Research and Development Team. R&D riders receive merit-based discounts on Continue boards and other goods in exchange for product testing and feedback.
Are all your boards EPS / Epoxy?
Yes… Expanded polystyrene and epoxy resin surfboards have performance, durability, and economic benefits that we appreciate.
Does Continue make Longboards?
Our area of expertise is more aligned with performance-oriented shortboards. If you’d like a longboard, we suggest contacting “Blinky” at Ventura Surfshop.
Does Continue do surfing lessons?
We don’t do surf lessons, but we can refer you to a number of people who provide both group and private surfing lessons.
Does Continue provide surf coaching services?
Continue provides individual coaching for our Research and Development Team riders at no cost.
Can you ship surfboards by Amtrak?
We use Amtrak Express to ship nationwide… Simply tell us where you want your board shipped and we’ll make sure your board gets on the train.
Do you ship to Hawaii?
Yes, we can ship to just about any domestic address. But our experience and expertise is more aligned with the waves and surfing conditions in California. If you need a board specific to Hawaiian waves, we suggest you contact Akila Aipa or Pyzell.
Do you take trade-in surfboards?
We accept Continue brand surfboards for trade. Simply send us images of the top and bottom of the board, and ask for a trade-in valuation. However and please know, that our valuation will be based on a resale environment and you’ll probably get more money selling the board privately.
Can you replicate my old Continue surfboard?
Yes… the serial number on your surfboard is linked to the CAD file for that board. We can look up the serial number, send the same file to the CNC machine operator, and run it again.
Can you copy (clone) another brand name surfboard model so I can save money?
NO… WITH BIG CAPITAL LETTERS. If you like another company’s design then simply buy that board from them. They probably invested a lot of time, money, and resources into the development of that board, and will certainly understand its build nuances better than us.
Can I get a custom color design on my board?
Continue surfboards are available in a clear finish only. We use optically brightened epoxy resin with a 400g linear sanded finish that reveals the stringer and core materials.
Can Continue build me a board that I designed using surfboard software?
Yes… we call those whiteboards. Whiteboards are cut to your file specifications and may include one rice paper logo on the top and one logo on the bottom (your artwork).
Can Continue replace my existing fin boxes with another brand?
With consideration to the labor and material cost, the potential for aesthetic decay, and practicality of it all… we’d suggest trading the board in for one with your preferred fin boxes.
Do Continue surfboards come with a leash?
Continue surfboards are sold without a leash. Leashes are available on our accessories page.
Can I make payments on a surfboard?
Continue doesn’t finance surfboards, but we do accept credit cards.
What kind of wax should I put on my board?
Wax brands and makes are a matter of personal preference. We recommend applying a good base coat and using the correct temperature wax for your region.
Does Continue make boards for kids?
Yes… We build The Goat and The Ten in kid sizes. Information about those boards can be found in the Grom Boards section.
Do Continue surfboards come with a warranty?
Yes, a link to our Warranty is located in the footer.
Can Continue build a wall hanger board for my business?
Yes… and we can include a custom business logo on it as well. Contact us for details and pricing.
