Dusty. Sticky. Salty

Alex Velit started building boards in New Jersey in 2009. Since then, he has worked with and learned from some of the best board builders in North Carolina, Southern California, and now the Pacific Northwest.

​Alex's shaping has been influenced by the variety of waves he has lived around, surfers he has built boards for, and the knowledge gained by working in multiple different factories to create a unique brand of surfboards.

Focused on building boards that work for surfers no matter where they live and surf. Proven up and down the east coast, west coast, and around the world.

Some of the best boards I’ve ever ridden. I’ve had a few different shapes from AV. A groveler type, a fishy hybrid thing, and a proper shortboard and all have worked impeccably. Functionality? Yup. Diversity? Yup. Aesthetics? Yup. Need a shortboard? Fish? Longboard? Mid length? Whatever you need order it here.

I have two board made by Alex. Both of them are super lightweight and his glasswork is incredible!. He definitely made my boards to last the test of time and they still ride like the day I got them. My oldest board from him is almost 10 years old and it still can perform easy top to bottom maneuvers. Im gonna get 2 more for my home quiver when I can afford it.

I have been riding AV Surfboards since 2012. I watched AV shapes start in a small garage with nothing but passion and determination. After the 10 years of riding these boards; the designs and shapes have only gotten better. I’ve had everything from longboards to high performance asymmetrical boards shaped and I’ve loved everything inbetween that has made for me. If I have some weird idea for a board AV is happy to make it work for me. I’ll be riding his boards for life.

Alex has crafted several boards for me over the years. Two of which almost never leave the bed of my truck, they are my go to boards for pretty much any condition the Atlantic can dish up. I’ve dedicated much of this year to dialing in a twin fin Alex shaped me a few years back, a board that I never gave the time to learning until recently. All I can say is I’m having as much fun today as I was 20 years ago when I first started surfing. Thanks for the sweet sleds, almost time for another…
