FISHBONE

THOMAS- Surfshop and shaper, St François, Guadeloupe

"As many of you, I do other riding sports aside from kitesurfing, and my favourite one, within these heavenly islands is very obviously surfing. Surfboards and shapers aren’t lacking in Guadeloupe, yet nothing to me comes close to the quality of Thomas work, at Fishbone.

Thomas is the kind of guy who does jeweller work on surfboards. It’s always amazingly clean, resistant, durable… and incredibly sexy!
When it comes to repairs, he always amazes me: invisible.

A repair, where???

Always impeccable, and fast (Thomas understands the conditions urgency!) he’s also very reasonable price wise.

Very helpful and spot on with his advises, he knows how to find the tool that suits you best.
Better, he always has a wide range of very affordable used boards. Whether you’re after your own custom made board, a special offer, some wax or simply an advice, he’s the person you want to talk to and the place you want to hop by.

The cream of the crop?
Thomas can build you a fully custom made surf, strapped or not, especially for kitesurfing, for the same price –or less- than serial models currently on the market.

You will find Fishbone Shop half way between St François and Le Moule (opposite the Total gaz station ), but I personally try not to stop by too often, no matter how much I enjoy chatting with Thomas –because it’s hard not to eventually have a crush when looking at his boards, and any visit, more often than not, turns into a moment of weakness!-.

You can get a hold of Thomas through his website (simply click on the Fishbone logo).
