2023 CUSTOM ORDERS

In a world of planned obsolescence and mass-consumed disposable commodities, a well-made handshaped custom surfboard remains one of the last bastions of functional intimate artistry. The value of these boards should not only reflect the rare and singular skill of those who make them, but also their unparalleled ability to conjure freedom and joy.

There may come a time when handshaped surfboards made by actual surfers exist merely as myth and memory. Until that day I hope you will think wisely about the brands you support and value your own journey enough to ride waves on boards made with love and intention.

The best way to begin a custom order is to send an email via the CONTACT form on this website. We will discuss together what your needs are based on the type of boards you currently ride, where you surf, your age, surfing ability, and of course personal aesthetics and curiosities. Once we finalize the size, shape, fins, colors and glassing schedule I will give you a final price. A deposit of 50% will begin your order.

Every board I make is shaped entirely by hand with a Skil 100 planer and glassed at Gordon & Smith Custom Glassing in San Diego California. Although there are certain types of boards I make regularly, I intentionally avoid “board models.” Please feel free to reference anything I’ve shaped previously as a starting point for your order.
