‘Escape Surfboards’ is one of the leading custom SUP board brands being made in the UK. And it’s not hard to see why when it comes to the variety of colours and graphics you can have on your SUP. But it’s not all about the colour. It’s a combination of the right construction, board shape and price. Bill Atlee and Alex Murray from Escape in Cornwall have been shaping SUP boards since 2007. And Bill has been making boards since 1978, and a full time pro shaper since 1982… so it’s not like they don’t know what they’re talking about!
“At Escape Surfboards we want to make boards that fit how the surfer wants to ride. We match the riders weight, experience, ability and surf conditions they want to ride to shape a board that will help them get the best out of the sport. It is as important that we make boards for those who only want to ride waves of 2ft Saunton as it is the others who want to surf 12ft Porthleven. We offer a mixture of construction techniques and composites.” – Bill Attlee
