Robert August shaping surfboards with US Blanks

Since 2011, Robert August has been producing Robert August Surfboards here at Witch’s Rock Surf Camp. By becoming the distributor for US Blanks, we can assure the public a constant supply of classic surfboard blanks to choose from for all future Robert August surfboard orders. This has not always been so easy in the past, as surfboard construction materials have always been hard to obtain here in Costa Rica. We are super stoked about this.

As the new US Blanks distributor, Witch’s Rock has also started working with Channel Islands Surfboards Costa Rica to produce a new line of Witch’s Rock Surfboards. These new boards focus on upping your wave count and helping you generate great rides even when the conditions are not ideal. You can find Witch’s Rock Surfboards for rent and for sale in our surf shop at Witch’s Rock Surf Camp, open every day of the week 6am – 6pm.
