Willer SurfCraft

GTA, Ontario, Canada
Born out of necessity. Surfboards designed by fresh water surfers, for fresh water surfers and beyond. Specializing in surfcraft taylored specifically for you and the unique conditions you surf, from the great lakes, to river waves, to firing point breaks in far-flung exotic locals. 100% Custom. 100% Hand-made. This is not a job for me, but purely the pursuit of a passion to bring science, art, and engineering together to build the best surfcraft I can. Dave Willer, PhD

Special Edition - Donavan Fins by RFC


Part of Billabong's new Donavon Frankenreiter collection, Rainbow Fin Co. has done some special edition Donavon floral pattern fins.  They are available in FCS and Futures base and come in a tri or quad set.

Surfer, musician, poet, artist, free-spirit. All terms used to describe the venerable Donovan Frankenreiter. Now, you too can emulate the steeze of Donovan himself with his collection of performance fins in 6.5 inches to 8.5 inches. Surf-Free and Free-Surf. Accept no limits like the man himself.

Laying up the negative molds under the watchful eyes (and hands) of Ed and Mariola of Murky Water Kayaks.   A mess of gelcoat and matt glass.

Product Testing

Doing some static line surfing on Hero Wave just above Phil's Hole on the Ottawa.   A great way to try out different fins and boards and ride until your fingers are crying for help.    Need to save some hand strength to hold on when you bail or you are swimming!!!!   Joel and I had a decent set up that resulted in only a couple swims through Phil's.   Lifejacket and helmet mandatory!  Cheers to Joel D for the pic.
