Odyboards Surf Shop & Factory

Odyboards is a working surfboard factory and shop in the Zicatela district of Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca - one of Mexico's best-known point breaks - where shaper Ody Ordaz makes boards by hand rather than running a machine-shaped production line. The business operates as both retail counter and workshop under one roof, selling in-stock boards directly off the shelf alongside custom orders that customers can arrange remotely from anywhere before they arrive in Oaxaca, a useful option for surfers planning a trip around picking up a board built to their own specifications. The shop keeps seasonal, appointment-based hours in person, reflecting Puerto Escondido's own surf season rather than a standard year-round retail schedule, and supplements walk-in sales with an online store for customers who can't make it to Zicatela directly. The site runs in both English and Spanish, signaling a clientele that leans heavily on international surf travelers passing through this stretch of the Oaxacan coast as much as on local riders. For visitors already making the trip to surf Zicatela's break, Odyboards offers a direct line to the person actually shaping the boards, rather than a shop reselling factory-made stock from elsewhere.
