Board VIN is a paper-thin identification device for surfboards. Like a microchip for your board — no charging, no maintenance. Just peace of mind in the lineup.
Board VIN uses passive RFID technology — the same proven tech used in pet microchips, passports, and contactless cards. No batteries. No charging. Ever.
Peel and stick the Board VIN to your surfboard — under the glass or on the rails. It's thinner than a sticker and built to handle salt, sun, and impact.
Create your Board VIN profile. Link your contact info, board details, shaper, and any custom notes to your unique serial number through our web app.
Anyone with a standard RFID reader — coast guard, lifeguards, or fellow surfers — can scan the board and instantly identify the owner.
Board VIN solves real problems — from lost board recovery to building a permanent history for every surfboard ever shaped.
When a leash snaps, your board disappears in the current. You swim to shore — but does anyone know you're OK? With Board VIN, when your board washes up on a beach, the Coast Guard or a beachgoer scans it and knows exactly who it belongs to. They can contact you immediately, confirm you're safe, and avoid launching an unnecessary — and costly — search and rescue operation. Your board gets returned. Everyone breathes easier.
A Board VIN–tagged board is a marked board. If your board is stolen, the embedded ID makes it traceable and provably yours — making it significantly harder to sell and easier to recover.
Every Board VIN creates a permanent, on-chain record: who shaped the board, when, where (GPS coordinates), materials, and ownership history. Like a blockchain for surfboards — building verifiable provenance and value over time.
Built on proven RFID technology, engineered specifically for the ocean environment.
Powered by the scanner's signal, just like a pet microchip. It will work 10 years from now the same as day one.
Sealed and rated for continuous ocean exposure. Designed to survive the same conditions your board does.
Paper-thin form factor — similar to a motorcycle VIN plate. Applies under glass or directly to the board surface without affecting performance.
Once applied, removal is detectable. The VIN is permanently linked to your board.
