Thomas Surfboards

Noosa


Behind glass panels, Thomas makes Noosa's finest surfboards, both ready-to-ride and custom made. It also stocks its own fashion label, alongside niche street- and surf-wear brands like McTavish and The Snake Hole. There's an in-house cafe-bar here, along with a hipster barber called Captain Sip Sop's, plus a gallery space with rotating exhibitions of surf-oriented art, both local and international.

Surfboard rental is available for members of Awayco (https://awayco.com).
