Yes, in addition to our agave plant blanks you can choose a polyola blank, which is a recycled foam blank, so you can choose the material that suits you best.

Absolutely! Your board will be ready to hit the water. If needed, you can grab recycled fins, a leash, and sustainable local wax from our shop to complete your setup.

Accommodation is not included in the workshop price, but we’re happy to help you find a place to stay if you’re traveling to Munich.

The Agave has similar properties to foam in terms of flex and weight.
One difference is the pleasant rebound effect of the agave, which can also be found in skis or skateboards. This gives the flex life, as the board reacts much more intensively to the surfer's forces. It is important to mention, however, that this type of detail can only be felt by very experienced surfers.

On our shaping workshop page you can find informations about the workshop process, price and dates.

The Style Master by Wavegliders
The Style Master – A Tribute to the Golden Era of SurfingThe Style Master pays homage to the “cool cats” of the mid-50s and 60s—an era when style ruled and the iconic Pig model changed surfing forever. Designed by Dale Velzy in 1955, the revolutionary Pig became the defining board of the decade, completely reshaping how surfers approached waves. Velzy’s forward-thinking design sparked a wave of creativity throughout California.As surf culture boomed after World War II, the Pig became the board to ride, helping push surfboards from backyard experiments into a full-blown industry. Its influence on surf history can’t be overstated. For Wavegliders, the Style Master is more than just a board—it’s one of his favourite sleds ever shaped. A true passion piece, built for surfers who value soul, heritage, and pure glide.

Bullet by Garmendia
A longboard for everyday surfing, allowing you to surf in all kinds of conditions, from beach breaks to point breaks. The Bullet lets you walk to the nose, turn with ease, and feel the trim. Speed and maneuverability are the two words that best describe it. A narrow nose with a soft concave, subtle belly through the mid and tail section, and a lower tail rocker make it a fast board that responds beautifully when changing direction. 50/50 rails. Fixed fin option available.What's the difference between handshaped and CNC-preshaped? Handshaped VersionFully hand-shaped by Jon Garmendia using traditional tools. Each board receives the complete finishing touch from an experienced shaper and surfer. The handshaping process takes around 8 hours more than a CNC pre-cut, resulting in a unique, fully handcrafted piece. CNC-preshaped VersionThe same model designed by the shaper, precisely pre-cut by a CNC machine and hand-finished by Jon Garmendia. This version is more affordable, as it requires less manual shaping work, making it possible for more surfers to ride a genuine Agave Garmendia board.

From €1,750.00*
Free Bird by Garmendia
A board with classic lines, generous volume, and rounded edges. The bottom of the board features a full-length belly, allowing for smooth maneuverability. And its little rocker and fairly parallel edges will give us that Trim and speed on the wave wall. The board will always be shaped in a triple Stringer Foam and will have the possibility of a fixed fin or box.What's the difference between handshaped and CNC-preshaped?

De Lorean by INDA Surfboards

Inspired by the classic 80s style, it features a beak nose, flat deck for extra volume, and low rails – just like back in the day.

Ocean Art Allround Foilboard by KARA Boards
The Foilboard that can make it all: Freeride, Wave, Freestyle, Race. This is our interpretation of a one board quiver, while being eco-friendly with just a plant and air inside, very stiff, light and durable.Every KARA Foilboard is custom made in Germany/Munich and feature our unique Agave Hollow Construction with Flax Fiber Stringers. Mininum swing weight through hollow nose and tail, maximum stiffness and a super direct connection to the foil.After the CNC process every agave beam of the blank is being hollowed out individually conerning to the board configuration of the customer (custom track and strap positions) and then glued together. 4 Flax Fiber Stringers are reinforcing the board through the whole length, maximizing the huge potential of this construction method. The fibers of the agave beams are very stiff in longitudinal direction, which gives the core a very high bending stifness already without the outer laminate. This is why the board is very durable, despite using the most eco friendly, natural and biodegradable core material available.The available sizes, designs and configurations are just a reference. Every Foilboard is custom made. Special custom shapes? Very individual foil track or strap configurations? Special Design ideas? Simply get in touch and we can make it happen.Foil Track: GONG SCS 30 cm

Miki Fish by INDA Surfboards
This board features a timeless fish outline with a twin-fin setup, delivering speed and flow in a wide range of conditions. The soft entry vee transitions into subtle concaves, finishing with a deeper vee through the tail for smooth rail-to-rail surfing. A beak nose adds extra volume, making paddling easier and improving wave entry. A subtle side cut enhances responsiveness and gives this fish an even more modern, appealing feel.

The One Agave by Lufi
HandshapedOne of Lufi's our most special boards. It was created after watching the best single-fin noseriders in Malibu. Its main purpose: to allow you to hang ten for as long as possible, in the most critical sections, with control and flow through the entire wave. And for hang fives… well, no need to even mention it. If you’re looking to refine your noseriding skills, this is the board.

Bass Boat from Vita
Vita Bass Boat, your go-to everyday board.The one you should always keep in your car. Versatile, comfortable, and above all, fun—so that any beach day turns into a great session full of maneuvers. Part of the High Performance line, the Bass Boat is an all-rounder that you’ll enjoy surfing in a wide range of conditions. It features fuller rails derived from a slightly flat deck. A generous nose and tail area give you extra paddle power and help you maintain speed through the flatter sections of the wave. With a medium rocker and a moderate kick tail, it has a single to double concave that flows through the fin area, making this board highly maneuverable and versatile. Perfect for intermediate waves, it handles both weak days and more powerful ones—you set the limits!

DFK 2.0 from Cabianca
From ‘Da Freak Kid’ to three-time world champion, Cabianca has loved watching Gabriel’s ascent, from high-flying teen prodigy to the all-round surfing virtuoso he is today. Just like his surfing, Gabriel’s go-to pro model surfboard has evolved constantly over the past years, and after years of constant development, Cabianca thinks it’s the most refined, balanced and straight-up magic board in the lineup. Tuned to excel in quality waves, the DFK 2.0 is equally at home smashing the lip or flying far above it, and tube hunters will love its speed, balance and drive down the line.WAVE TYPE / SIZEThe DFK 2.0 works in all kinds of conditions and for most ability of surfers. If the wave has a pocket, steep face and power, the board almost rides itself! If the waves have less power, the board needs an advanced surfer to make use of its best characteristics. It is made for technical surfing from 1 to 10 feet waves – just choose the right measurements based on the waves you surf the most. SKILL LEVELIt’s Cabiancas most technical board.FIN SET UPThrusterTAIL OPTIONSSquash, Swallow, Round, Round PinROCKERThe board has a lot of rocker, mostly concentrated in the centre of the surfer’s base when standing.CONCAVEThe single concave all along the board, captures the water capture generating greater water flow pressure towards the fins. This means the more pressure the surfer applies to the board, the greater the speed.RAIL TYPEMedium to low rails with really sharp edges from before the fins to the tail. These edges allow for a better grip on the wave face, giving more drive in extreme conditions.

From €950.00*
Oxygen from Vita
Vita Oxygen, pure maneuverability for a wide range of conditions.Speed and control in beach breaks or point breaks, in small to medium-sized waves. Featuring a swallow tail that provides great control during maneuvers, and a small winger that reduces surface area to allow for deeper, sharper turns. With medium rocker and kick tail, and a wider nose and tail area compared to a typical high-performance board, it will help you both when paddling and when generating speed through flatter or weaker sections. Without a doubt, a great daily option if you're looking for a board that’s both comfortable and fun.

€950.00*
The Medina from Cabianca
The perfect board for less-than-perfect waves. Being the world’s best contest surfer isn’t all about destroying the world’s best waves: it’s often more about winning decisive heats in marginal conditions. And that’s where The Medina comes in – a high performance shape that’s designed to make the most of low-performance waves. Low rocker from nose to tail makes The Medina a fast paddler, helping you to get more waves, and make more sections. Meanwhile the concave to V bottom, and a flatter dome deck makes this board stable, yet very lively and responsive. Get this board 2 inches shorter than your usual shortboard. Whatever your level, the Medina will turn your bad days into fun days… and good days into classic days.WAVE TYPE / SIZESmall to medium and waves with little powerSKILL LEVELThe Medina is a forgiving board. In the bigger dimensions it can work for a beginner, and in bad conditions works well for more contest or high-performance surfers.FIN SET UPThrusterTAIL OPTIONSSquash, Swallow, RoundROCKERLow rocker nose to tail.CONCAVETransitions from single concave at the front foot to Vee in the tail. The idea is to have greater contact with the water, at low speed. Therefore, even if the wave does not push, the board remains above the water. An easy-to-maneuver board, with rounder edges, which allows quick movements without losing stability.RAIL TYPERound rail, flat deck

From €950.00*
Twin Rudder from Vita
The trendiest twin fin. If you're looking for smooth, rounded turns and a super fun ride, this twin fin will keep surprising you.Very comfortable and easy to surf. It features the speed of a twin fin combined with a defined round tail, medium rocker, and a bottom contour that transitions from entry concave to double concave with channels—giving you extra grip and maneuverability. A highly versatile model with excellent paddling power, thanks to the volume and surface area in the nose and mid-section. It generates great speed on small, weak days, but when conditions improve, it really lets you push your surfing to the max. You'll be able to blend electric performance with the classic twin fin feel.

€950.00*
Uber Twin from Cabianca
Back in the 1970’s, Mark Richards revolutionized small wave surfboards with his twin-fin design, while in the past few years Uber have revolutionized transportation with their taxi app. Not that Cabianca is saying the new Uber Twin shape is revolutionary – it’s just an insanely fun summer board that combines all the speed and looseness of a classic twin with the maneuverability of a modern performance shortboard. Run it with a twin fin setup for ultimate retro fun, or add the rear stabilizer fin for extra drive and control. If you’re looking for a small wave board that flies down the line and turns on a dime, get the Uber Twin. Ideal for having fun, the twin fin offers good performance and stability. Always choose two inches (or less) than your normal board’s length. With good volume and width, the combination guarantees fun.WAVE TYPE / SIZEIdeal model for small and medium wave conditions. Easy to maneuver when the waves aren’t powerful.SKILL LEVELOf our twin fin designs, this is the high-performance option, providing a lot of control even at high speeds. Easy to manoeuvre but with plenty of stability. Perfect for beginners, but also suited to all surfers with a good skill level.FIN SET UPTwin fin 2+1TAIL OPTIONSSquash, Swallow, RoundROCKERLittle rocker, both at the water intake and at the tailCONCAVEPronounced concave in the middle of the board, with the transition to “Vee” bottom at the tail, and double “Vee”RAIL TYPEFuller edges, with a more modern shape, that provides good drive in more extreme conditions

From €950.00*
GT Fish from Vita
The style of a fish with more technical surfing in mind:Surf with the speed and maneuverability of your shortboard, but with the authentic style of a fish. A high-performance fish with rounded lines and a small swallow tail that offers great maneuverability and allows for tighter turns. Designed for intermediate to advanced surfers and medium waves in good conditions. You can set it up as a twin fin with Power Twin fins, as a quad, or as a combo of both to add more versatility. Surf with the speed and maneuverability of your shortboard—paired with the timeless style of a fish!

From €950.00*
Evil Twin from Cabianca
When it comes to milking every drop of speed and fun from weak summer swells, you really can’t beat a twin fin’s ability to generate speed with minimal drag. Which is why Cabianca decided it was time to give the Uber Twin model a “twin” of its own… introducing the Evil Twin. Like its Uber brother, the Evil Twin comes with the option of using a central stabiliser fin, and has enough performance DNA to rip in decent waves. But with its flatter rocker and extra width at the nose and tail, this board really excels in the kind of summer slop that makes other shortboards chop and hop back to the beach in disgust.Another small wave good option. The combination of pronounced concaves and double concave generates extra speed and helps connect sections even in the most average conditions.WAVE TYPE / SIZEIdeal model for small and medium wave conditions. Easy to maneuver when the waves aren’t powerful.SKILL LEVELTwin fin with good performance.

Whaler from Vita
If big waves are your thing, this is your board.Easy paddling, control, and grip. It maintains good volume and surface area in the nose to help you get into waves early, gain speed, and make it through long sections in powerful, heavy surf. It features a pronounced entry rocker and a round pin tail that provides strong hold on the wave face. Bottom contours start with a slight entry V, transitioning into a single and then a double concave through the tail.

From €1,050.00*
70s Twin from Cabianca
Just like the spirit of the seventies, the twin fin never really died – it lives on in the muscle memory of old surfers and shapers, and in the upgraded designs of guys like Johnny, who learned from the masters. Johnny’s version has plenty of the cruisy retro feel of a classic twin, but with all the extra sensitivity and response you expect from a modern master of performance shapes.Inspired by the Californian movement from the 1960s and ’70s, and the transition from longboards to shortboards. It gave rise to this small model, with 2 fins, that led to more aggressive and modern maneuvers.WAVE TYPE / SIZEClassic from the 60s and 70s designed for small wavesSKILL LEVELVintage Twin fin. For any level of surfing. Ideal for a beginner who wants to take their first turns.FIN SET UPTwin finTAIL OPTIONSBig swallowROCKERLittle rockerCONCAVEFull “Vee” bottomRAIL TYPEDue to the flatter deck (almost no dome deck), the rails are fuller, with a 60s and 70s influence.

Runabout from Vita
Complete your quiver with our Runabout model.A glider that lets you effortlessly cruise through sections at high speed on those perfect small- to medium-wave days. Thanks to its shape, you'll also be surprised by how early it catches waves. Built with a flat rocker and a pronounced belly V combined with a deep single concave across the entire bottom, it's designed for maximum speed. 50/50 rails and a defined edge in the tail provide solid hold on the wave. Pure glide sensation on a board with generous dimensions— your only job will be to enjoy the ride!
