Ocean Built

Oceanbuilt is a Western Australian manufacturer of surf craft and equipment, serving the surf lifesaving and surfski communities. The company designs and produces performance-focused equipment, with close attention to detail, thorough testing and ongoing innovation in design and construction. Its range includes surfskis, wetsuits, hard and soft nipper boards, and surf lifesaving racing mal and rescue boards. Customers can enquire to learn more about featured boards or arrange a demonstration.

Oceanbuilt’s surfski design is led by Britton Ward, a naval architect with experience in the hull design of Volvo Ocean Racing and America’s Cup yachts. Its boats have been engineered, tested and validated over a decade in Perth’s downwind conditions. Lead test paddlers Shaun and Brendan Rice bring decades of experience racing surfskis internationally. Together with a passionate team, they have invested hundreds of hours in developing equipment for Western Australian conditions and users. Oceanbuilt is based in Perth and welcomes enquiries by phone, email or through its website contact form.
