D'Arcy is the design mastermind behind our top-performing Waterbird.

Stuart D’Arcy has been shaping surfboards with sustainability in mind for decades, now joining the Varuna Surf project he’s building on his positive impact legacy.

“My kids, and my kid’s kids and all the kids,” D’Arcy mused on why sustainability matters in the surf industry as we chatted in the thickly forested area surrounding his shaping factory, “through surfing we can introduce sustainability to people.”

Welcome to the Varuna Shaper Series with D’Arcy Surfboards. This is the third in our series following on from iconic shapers Maurice Cole and Joel Fitzgerald. Nestled in a lush rainforest, D’Arcy shared his connection to sustainable design, manufacturing and the performance of his Varuna Waterbird model.
