About Thomas Surfboards
Thomas Surfboards was founded in Noosa in 2009 by Thomas Bexon, a shaper who trained under a generation of Australian log makers and rebuilt the retro-log template around modern glass and volume for the current era of noseriding.
The Harrison and Wizl are Thomas's flagship logs — both are on rotation at Noosa First Point on almost any clean day, and both are widely credited as the reference contemporary noseriders. The Keeper 2.0 is Bexon's all-terrain single-fin longboard, a subtle 2024 rework of one of his longest-running designs.
Thomas ships boards to riders on every continent and has a waitlist that regularly runs six months or more. His shapes are ridden by Harrison Roach, Zye Norris and much of the Noosa Festival of Surfing longboard crew.

Where to buy Thomas Surfboards
FAQ
How long is the Thomas Surfboards waitlist?
Typically 4–6 months for a custom order. Occasionally in-stock boards appear on Boardcave and select dealers — those sell within days.
Harrison vs Wizl — which log?
The Harrison is the traditional all-round noserider — heavier glass, classic 50/50 rails. The Wizl has a modern concave under the nose for more locked-in noserides on faster point waves.
Is the Keeper 2.0 a good first longboard?
The shaper's own listings mark it as beginner-to-advanced, and Noosa Longboards frames the 2.0 rework as 'more approachable and user-friendly' than the original — so yes, provided you're comfortable with a full single-fin longboard.
