Master Surfboards

About

Custom shaping and repair workshop in Maldonado, just outside Punta del Este — Uruguay's main surf zone. Started as a repair shop run by master laminator Diego 'El Fati' Curbelo and grew into a full builder once shaper Francisco Pérez del Castillo joined (trained under Ricardo Martins in Rio, Jon Pyzel, and Jason Koons at SUPERbrand). Hand-built boards across the full range — from forgiving small-wave shapes to performance shortboards for bigger Atlantic swells. Sponsors most of Uruguay's top competitive surfers (Segundo Vargas, Juan Pablo Fernández).
