We are CRU

Born in Portimão, in the heart of southern Portugal, our brand is more than just a surfboard company. It’s a creative movement.

What began as a one person ( António Miguel aka Tonho) passion for crafting unique surfboards has grown into a thriving community for dreamers and doers who resonate with our values and embrace our way of life.

At our core, we are a family. A collective of artisans, surfers, musicians, photographers, and creatives of all kinds. Each member adds their own unique spark, helping to shape and expand our ever-growing community. Together, we celebrate creativity, adventure, and the boundless beauty of the ocean and what comes with it.

Join us, and wonder in our creative world.
