UPDATE: Winners for the 2025 Board Awards Announced Below
September's here, the water's warm(ish), and the first proper autumn swells are rolling in... which can only mean one thing. The Board Awards are back for 2025. The surf world's unofficial start to the season, where the year's most talked about shapes go head-to-head across 10 awards. Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates and sneak peaks.
After 5,000+ nominations and tens of thousands of votes, the results are in. Here are your 2025 winners...
The Board Awards are all about you lot. No judges in blazers, no behind-the-scenes politics, just real surfers backing the boards that deserve the spotlight. The ones that actually made your year, turned your sessions around, or just blew your mind. Here’s how it’ll go:
Throw your boards into the ring, right here, on email, or through our socials. We’ll take all your picks and line up the top four in each category.
Once the shortlist’s live, it’s over to you again. Head to our Instagram and vote on your winners. Four boards enter… only one takes the crown.
By the end of September the dust settles, the votes are counted, and the champs are announced early October.
There are 10 awards up for grabs this year, celebrating the very best in surfing. From the coveted Board of the Year and Shaper of the Year, to category standouts like Best Mid Length, Best Shortboard, and more. We’re recognising the boards, the craft, and the people pushing surfing forward.
