Why Blueprint Surf Believes in Building Boards Right Here in the USA

While we’re all about catching waves and soaking up summer vibes, this holiday reminds us why it matters where and how we build our boards.

At Blueprint Surf, we believe in sourcing U.S. materials and crafting our surfboards right here at home. Here’s why:

Quality We Can Stand Behind

We’re obsessed with making the best boards possible. Working with U.S.-based suppliers means we know exactly where our materials come from and how they’re made. It’s easier for us to ensure top-notch quality—and to try new things without waiting for parts to ship halfway around the world.

Supporting Local Jobs and Businesses

When you buy a Blueprint board, you’re not just supporting us—you’re helping sustain jobs for our bio-epoxy resin suppliers, plastic recycling companies, and so many other sustainability-focused people across the country. It’s a ripple effect that keeps our local communities strong.

Smoother, Faster Supply Chains

Global supply chains can get pretty gnarly (and not in a good way). By sourcing materials in the U.S. and building boards locally, we avoid shipping delays, tariffs, getting held up at customs, and other unexpected hiccups. That means we can get you your custom board faster and keep innovating without big disruptions.

Sustainability Matters

Local sourcing helps us lower our carbon footprint. Less overseas shipping means fewer emissions—and that’s good for our oceans, beaches, and the planet we all love to surf.

Keeping the Craft Alive

Surfboards are art as much as they are equipment. Building boards in the U.S. helps preserve the craft and keeps our shaping heritage alive for the next generation of surfers and builders.

This Fourth of July, we’re grateful not just for our freedom, but for the opportunity to build something meaningful—and to do it right here at home.

From all of us at Blueprint Surf: Happy Fourth, and we’ll see you out in the lineup!
