Misfit Shapes

Misfit Shapes is an Australian surfboard and apparel brand founded in 2002 on Sydney's Northern Beaches, known for its eccentric artwork and colorful, unconventional board designs that prioritize individual creativity and artistic expression. Head shaper Dave Howell hand-shaped all boards until 2009, building a reputation for merging art and performance. The brand represents a deliberate counter-movement to conformity in surfing, sponsoring progressive riders like Jaleesa Vincent, a pioneering female freesurfer.
