Infinity SUP

The SUP Store is proud to be the no. 1 Infinity retailer in the UK.

The first Infinity Surfboard was shaped in 1970. It is a 7′ balsa single fin with #1 proudly printed on the tail. It has never been ridden but hangs as a memorial on the wall.  

The surfboard shapers and design team at Infinity, consist of master craftsmen and 2017 International Shapers Hall of Fame inductee Steve Boehne and his two sons the “Boehne Bros” Dan and Dave. The Boehne family tree takes a lot of pride in the heritage that they bring to each shape. Steve taught numerous shapers that worked under his tutelage over the years the lessons in sculpting foam, shaped and glassed his first board in 1960 at the age of 13. Dan Boehne shaped his first board at the age of 11 and later Dave shaped his first when he was 15. 

Steve discovered surfing in 1959. His first board was a balsa Velzy-Jacobs. He surfed Torrance Beach and Palos Verdes Cove. The early surfing culture was strong in the South Bay even before the Beach Boys records. Steve built about 100 boards in his garage until 1968 when he went to work shaping for Gordie Surfboards. Gordie was a master craftsman and really helped Steve refine his classic longboard shapes. 

Shortboards exploded on the scene around ’69 and Steve shaped about 50 boards a week for several shops in Huntington Beach for the next couple of years. He and Barrie were married in 1971 and together they opened the first Infinity Surf Shop. It was in an old gas station on 5th and PCH in Huntington Beach. The hand painted sign boasted perfect surfboards, hopefully that meant perfectly suited.
