Madeira Shape Room by Oficina do Ceguinho is a board workshop located in Clube Naval São Vicente. Here we repair dings of any type: small dings, creased boards, broken boards or split in half, FCS fin plugs or boxes, fixed fins, fillings, footstrap fittings, mast-foot boxes, paintings of Surf, SUP, Windsurf, Wakeboard, Kitesurf boards…
We use a wide range of materials, such as: epoxy resin, polyester resin, fibreglass of various weights, carbon, Kevlar, pigments, vacuum, sandwich, etc. This is also where the handcrafted customised Blind Surfboards are manufactured. In partnership with Grant Twiggy Baker, three-time big-wave world champion, we manufacture the original Twig surfboard designs, a product for demanding surfers who seek something different from the usual.
