Power Source surfboards has built the reputation of being the number one surfboard manufacturer in Ireland for the last 18 years & continues to produce quality custom surfboards, all totally handcrafted by Mark McGuire. 

Born in to surfing & the industry in the sixties, Mark has over thirty years surfing experience & has been shaping for over 20 years.

 

The Power Source label was born in 1988 in Newquay, Cornwall. In 1990 Mark moved his operation to north west Ireland, and is now situated in north Leitrim, 6k from Bundoran. Today, Mark still as dedicated as ever in & out of the water, is continually pushing his designs in all conditions & in many directions. His past contest experience in the UK & Ireland has stood by him through understanding design & function, among his Irish results was

bringing the Intercounties Cup to Leitrim for the first time in '94 & extending this to 4 years in a row in '95, '96, & '97. This design element continues to evolve with constant feedback from his Irish & international riders . Mark has had the pleasure of working with some talented surfers in the past, & a few living legends, including Chris Malloy & Joel Fitzgerald where alongside Mark, was featured in his shaping bay on the film "Litmus". His Irish sponsored riders still continue to be amongst the most talented free surfers on the island.

 

Mark is one of the few rare craftsmen today who can shape, glass, sand and polish ( & surf to a high level ). He is equally skilled at shaping performance shortboards to minimals to serious guns, one of his great abilities is to listen to his customers, not forcing his ideas on them, but more so helping to put their ideas and experiences together with his own, into a finished, functional shape. This open thinking results in boards that are special & unique.


At Power Source surfboards, each board is totally hand crafted from start to finish,& gets individual attention throughout each stage of production. Manufactured from the finest materials available, no seconds here!!

Our belief is in quality & function 4 each individual.
