Good Glass represents our absolute commitment to quality products. It’s an ethos we fully embody, driving every decision in the manufacture of our boards. We believe in delivering the best value for your money, ensuring your board will always last, perform, and exceed expectations.
We’ve been building boards for 13 years, and through relentless testing and refining, we’ve put together a guide to everything that goes into our boards—and what should go into any quality surfboard. A surfboard is truly the sum of its parts, and we build quality upon quality to bring you the very best.
The blank is, at its core, the surfboard itself. It defines the shape, weight, and durability of the board and contains the wood stringer, which influences flex.
Some blanks are soft and easy to shape, but that softness comes at a cost: they pressure dent easily. We take the hard road and use denser, uniform (and more expensive!) foam because we know it’s more durable, reliable, and less likely to dent or delaminate. That means a board that stays stronger for longer.
✅ Why it matters: A strong, quality blank means better responsiveness and longevity.
The stringer controls the flex and strength of the blank, playing a crucial role in how your board performs.
We tune the flex in our boards using both the stringer and fiberglass, ensuring your board responds to your surfing and your body type.
✅ Why it matters: The right stringer means a board that stays lively and lasts longer.
A combination of resin and fiberglass forms the board’s waterproof, strong outer layer. The way these materials are applied is just as important as the materials themselves.
There’s nobody else who glasses them quite like we do. Our technique is just as important as the product itself, and we’re regularly in demand from factories across the UK. But now, we use our expertise exclusively for Good Glass boards, ensuring you get the highest strength-to-weight ratio possible.
✅ Why it matters: Better glassing = a stronger board without unnecessary weight.
The strongest, most traditional way to add color to a surfboard is through resin tints. We mix pigment into the resin at the glassing stage, giving our signature deep rail bands and gradient fin patches.
Sick of your boards going yellow in the sun? Resin tints are the answer.
Glassing is the hardest part of the process, with a strict time limit before the resin goes solid—but throw us a challenge, and we’ll rise to it. Acid swirls, abstracts, and split tints are all fair game here
✅ Are resin tints heavier? Not the way we do them. We’ve spent years perfecting the science, and our resin tints weigh the same as our clear white boards.
We never cut corners. That’s why every Good Glass board gets a resin gloss coat—every single time. It’s the most hard-wearing finish available, designed for the marine environment. Unlike spray finishes that wear down over time, resin gloss ensures a complete watertight seal that won’t break down.
✅ Why it matters: A finish that won’t wear out, ensuring your board stays strong and watertight.
