Shaping Surfboards and Surfing in San Clemente

This was in september of 08 with my good friend Mike at lowers. ÊThis board is the third generation off one of my favorite boards I have Êsurfed for over 8 years. ÊThis is a 6'6 by 19.25 by 2.50 thick. ÊI grew up riding longboards and everything in between. ÊThis board was a bit thick for my weight but it had plenty of drive and speed through the the slow sections. ÊIn this photo I'm doing a speed check turn to set up for a drawn out bottom turn into the next section. ÊSpeed and timing is the key to solid turns. ÊAll of the surfboards used in the photo's are available and I'm in constant research and development with new boards on the way. ÊSo stop by San Clemente Surfboards & Art Êgallery and check out the boards. ÊI specialize in custom shaped Surfboards of all shapes and size's. ÊStay tuned for more photo's to come. Ê

Surfing Lowers on San Clemente Surfboards

This is on a board Ive been riding for over eight years and I like to break it out when I'm in the developing stage for new boards. ÊThis particular board is a 6'5 by 19.25 by 2.3/8 thick. ÊThis board is very simple and very smooth with a flat bottom with slight vee off the tail. ÊIt is 13.75 into a square tail. ÊThis was a very good day and the waves were great for three days straight. ÊStay tuned more photos to follow. ÊIve shaped two new boards since with different bottom contours and dimensions. ÊRemember only focus on what you want in life.
