60" Surfboard Acrylic Router Template
Create large surfboard-shaped serving boards, decorative surfboards, beach house wall art, coastal display pieces, and surf-inspired woodworking projects with this reusable clear acrylic router template. This 60" surfboard template is a great choice for makers who want to build larger statement pieces for cottages, beach houses, restaurants, patios, markets, and custom orders.
The clear acrylic makes it easy to position the surfboard shape over your wood so you can highlight grain, figure, colour variation, knots, or other natural features before cutting your final piece.

- Large surfboard-shaped serving boards
- Decorative wooden surfboards
- Beach house, cottage, and coastal wall art

Why Use a Clear Acrylic 60" Surfboard Template?
- Large statement shape: Create a bold surfboard-style project without drawing the full shape by hand.
- Repeatable results: Make the same 60" surfboard shape again and again for batches, matching sets, or custom orders.
- Clear placement: See the wood underneath so you can line up the template with the best grain, colour, or figure in the board.
- Reusable acrylic: Made from 1/4" thick clear acrylic for repeated use when handled and stored properly.
- Use for routing or tracing: Attach the template and route directly, or trace the shape before cutting and sanding.
Recommended Products to Use With This Template
To make a finished surfboard project, most customers will also need a way to secure the template, the right router bits, suitable wood, and a finish for the completed piece.
- Template Tape - used to secure the acrylic template to your wood while tracing or routing.
- Profiling Router Bit - useful for following the template on the first pass before removing excess material with a band saw or jig saw.
- Flush Trim Router Bit - used after rough cutting to clean up the final shape against the template.
- Dimensional Wood - choose from kiln-dried hardwoods for making serving boards, display pieces, decorative surfboards, and giftable woodworking projects.
- Walrus Oil Cutting Board Oil - a good choice if your surfboard-shaped project will be used as a food-contact serving board.
- Grand Finishing Hardwax Oil - a great option for decorative surfboards, wall art, display pieces, shelves, and other non-cutting-board projects.
How to Use This 60" Surfboard Template
- Choose your wood: Start with a flat, stable piece of hardwood or glued-up panel that is large enough for the full surfboard template.
- Plan your layout: Place the clear acrylic template over the wood and adjust it until the surfboard shape works well with the grain, figure, and colour of the board.
- Attach the template: Apply template tape to the back of the acrylic template and press it firmly onto the wood.
- Trace or profile the shape: You can trace the template with a pencil, or use a profiling router bit to follow the template before removing excess material.
- Remove excess material: Use a band saw or jig saw to cut away most of the waste material outside the surfboard shape.
- Flush trim the final profile: Reattach or keep the template secured and use a flush trim bit to clean up the final shape.
- Sand and finish: Sand the faces and edges smooth, then apply the right finish for your project. Use a food-safe cutting board oil for food-contact serving boards or a hardwax oil for decorative pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a finished surfboard?
No. This listing is for the reusable clear acrylic template only. Wood, router bits, template tape, sanding supplies, and finish are sold separately.
Can this 60" surfboard template be reused?
Yes. This acrylic template is reusable when handled carefully, cleaned as needed, and stored flat between uses.
Can this template be used for serving boards?
Yes. This template can be used to make large surfboard-shaped serving boards or charcuterie-style display boards. For food-contact use, choose a suitable hardwood and apply a food-safe finish.
Can I use this template without a router?
Yes. You can use the template for tracing and layout, then cut the shape with a band saw or jig saw and sand to your final profile. For the cleanest repeatable results, many woodworkers use the template with a router.
What router bit should I use with this template?
For full board templates like this one, a common method is to use a profiling bit for the first pass, remove excess material with a band saw or jig saw, and then use a flush trim bit to clean up the final shape.
What wood works well for large surfboard projects?
Maple, walnut, cherry, ash, white oak, roasted maple, and other kiln-dried hardwoods can work well for surfboard-shaped projects. For a 60" template, make sure your material is flat, stable, and large enough for the full shape.
What finish should I use?
For food-contact serving boards, use a food-safe cutting board oil such as Walrus Oil Cutting Board Oil. For decorative surfboards, wall art, or non-food-contact projects, Grand Finishing Hardwax Oil is another great option.

Whether you are making a coastal wall piece, a decorative wooden surfboard, a large serving board, or a custom beach house project, this clear acrylic router template helps you create a consistent 60" surfboard shape while still letting the natural beauty of the wood stand out.
