Basic Surfboard Calipers - 28" Max Width

Precision is the difference between a good board and a great one. Our Basic Surfboard Calipers are the essential tool for accurately measuring thickness across the entire width of your blank. Designed by Florian Saylor, these calipers provide the consistent, repeatable measurements needed to ensure your foil and taper are exactly where they need to be.

Each set is precision-crafted from durable 3/4" Baltic Birch and finished with soft, rounded edges to protect your delicate foam from dings or scratches during the measuring process. Equipped with heavy-duty hardware, these calipers are built to remain rigid and accurate through years of use in the shaping bay. Whether you are checking the thickness at the center stringer or monitoring the rail-to-rail taper, these calipers offer the reach and reliability every shaper needs.

Key Features:

• Large Capacity: Designed to measure boards up to 28" wide—perfect for everything from high-performance shortboards to wide-point-forward logs.
• Baltic Birch Construction: 3/4" thick premium wood offers superior rigidity and a professional "shop" feel.
• Foam-Safe Design: Soft, rounded edges prevent accidental pressure dings on soft EPS or PU foam.
• Heavy-Duty Hardware: Built to withstand the daily environment of a busy shaping rack.
• Designer Quality: Laser-engraved with a subtle logo; designed by industry veteran Florian Saylor.

Pro Tip: To ensure the most accurate reading, always measure with the caliper perpendicular to the stringer. Use a light touch to avoid compressing the foam and getting a false "thin" reading.
