Christiaan Bradley Surfboards

The Innovator Behind Seamless Performance and Design

Christiaan Bradley

From Tasmania to the world stage, Christiaan Bradley honed his craft as the Channel Islands/Al Merrick ghost shaper, working with Kelly Slater and the CI team.

In 2011, he launched the Bradley label, earning global recognition for his high-performance, precision-crafted designs, making him one of surfing’s most sought-after shapers.

We offer both standard and custom specs, hand shaped by Christiaan in Hossegor France.

Hailing from the primeval surfing outback of Tasmania, Christiaan Bradley began his surfboard journey on Australia's Gold Coast, mastering the art of sanding boards and foiling fins. During a surfing trip in Europe, he met Stephen Bell and landed the prestigious position of Channel Islands/Al Merrick ghost shaper at Euroglass, working closely with the CI team and legendary surfer Kelly Slater. This experience elevated his shaping skills, making ghost shaping nigh obsolete.
