At Bunger Surf Shop, we take immense pride in our heritage as one of the longest-standing surf shops on the East Coast. Since 1962, we’ve been shaping high-quality surfboards right here on Long Island, ensuring that our customers get the best boards for our local waves. Our founder, Charlie Bunger Sr., started this journey over 60 years ago, and today, his legacy lives on through our family-owned and operated shop. Under the skilled hands of Tommy Bunger, who has been shaping surfboards for over 20 years, we continue to provide custom surfboards tailored to every surfer’s needs.
A Legacy of Handcrafted Quality
Charlie Bunger Sr. was a true pioneer in East Coast surfing. As a young surfer on Long Island, he saw the need for high-quality boards that could handle our unique wave conditions. Starting in his parents’ basement and later expanding to a dedicated shaping facility, Charlie built Bunger Surfboards into a trusted name in the industry. Over the decades, our surfboards have been ridden by some of the best surfers in the region, including members of the legendary Bunger Surf Team, which helped put Long Island on the surfing map.
The demand for Bunger Surfboards grew rapidly, thanks to Charlie’s innovative designs and commitment to craftsmanship. Our classic models, like the Bunger 360 and the Bunger Persuader, became favorites among local surfers and beyond. Today, that tradition of quality and innovation continues, with Tommy Bunger leading the charge in shaping custom surfboards designed specifically for Long Island’s waves.
Custom Shapes Built for Long Island Waves
With over two decades of experience shaping surfboards, Tommy Bunger brings a deep understanding of what works best in our local surf conditions. Every wave is different, and every surfer has unique preferences—this is why we believe that getting a Bunger Surfboard should be a fun and personalized experience. When you get a board from us, you’re not just getting a mass-produced, off-the-rack board from a big-name brand—you’re getting a custom shape specifically crafted for you.
A custom board isn’t just for expert surfers. Surfers of all skill levels can benefit from a board tailored to their ability, style, and the waves they ride most. Whether you’re a beginner looking for extra stability, an intermediate surfer wanting to progress, or an advanced rider seeking a high-performance shape, Tommy and our team will ensure you get the perfect board.
The Bunger Surfboard Experience
Ordering a Bunger Surfboard is designed to be an enjoyable and rewarding process. We encourage surfers to visit our shop at 50 E Main St A, Babylon, NY, and talk with our knowledgeable team. During a personalized consultation, you can browse the dozens of boards we have in stock, get inspiration, and discuss what specifications would work best for you. Whether you want to replicate a board you’ve loved for years or design something entirely new, we’re here to make sure you get exactly what you need.
The value of a Bunger Surfboard goes beyond just the custom design—it’s about the quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that comes with each board. Unlike mass-produced surfboards, every Bunger Surfboard is hand-shaped with precision and built to perform specifically for our local surf conditions. You’re not just buying a board; you’re investing in a piece of Long Island surfing history.
