Harbour Surfboards

Harbour Surfboards is a surfboard manufacturer located in Seal Beach, CA started by shaper Rich Harbour in 1959. When his first surfboard got stolen off the side yard of his parents home in Seal Beach Rich was determined to get himself a new board. This propelled Rich and his father Raymond Harbour to visit a new surfboard blank factory in Newport Beach, CA started by Harold Walker. Clueless on the construction of surfboards they set out to shape and glass the surfboard in the family garage, this turned out to be the infamous board #1. Since the first board wasn't all that great and Harbour considered himself as a master craftsman, it wasn't long before he set out to make board #2 and #3, the rest is history. Since 1959 and over 33,000 boards later Harbour Surfboards has stood the test of time and been in business for over 60 years. Still in the same location that its been since being kicked out of Rich's parents garage, 329 Main St. Seal Beach, CA has acted as the foreground for the board making and retail for the brand.
