Keep it in the water
Ding repair & board care.
Cracked a rail or pushed in the deck? Bring it by. We patch dings and refinish boards locally so your favorite stick stays in the line-up for years — whether we shaped it or not.
The craft · How a board is made
Foam, glass, and time on the bench.
Every Nav City board is built by hand from the blank up — no molds, no shortcuts. Here's how a block of foam becomes the board you ride.
The approach
Made for your waves, not a mold.
Built around you
Before a single pass with the planer, we talk through your height, weight, ability, and home break. The board is designed around how you actually surf — not a one-size template.
Finished on the Gulf Coast
Shaped, glassed, and sanded locally in Navarre. You can follow the build the whole way, and pick it up where it was made.

The process / 0101
Design & dimensions
We lock in length, width, thickness, rocker, and fin setup — the numbers that make a board work for you.

Shaping the blank
The outline is cut and the foam is shaped by hand — planer, surform, and sanding blocks until the rails and curves are right.
- 03
Glassing & lamination
Fiberglass and resin are laid up over the foam — the layer that makes the board strong, watertight, and ready to ride.
- 04
Sanding & finish
Hot coat, sand, and polish. The slow, careful part — where a good board becomes a clean one.

Fins & final ride
Fin boxes set, leash plug in, logo on. Then it's yours — pick it up in Navarre and go get wet.
