Surboard Art by Paul Carter San Clemente Ca

This is one of two commission for diedrich coffee house between 03 and 04 is when i really got inspired to paint surfboards. ÊThe design I came up with was a combination of a poster for one of there coffee brands. ÊThere is a full view on my website under art boards. ÊThe board was hanging in there Malibu store for about three years until they sold to Starbucks. ÊI got a email from guy who purchased the board from someone and he contacted me and the rest is history he stopped by my store, and I traded him Êa board for a board. ÊThe board is now hanging in San Clemente Surfboards & Art. ÊI'm stoked to get back one of the first half dozen surfboards I ever painted a mural on. ÊStop by anytime people if you have any question or would like to simply come in and check out surfboard art and the many painting,prints and custom surfboards on display. ÊThanks for taking the time to read my blogs stay stoked and stay balanced and enjoy the ride of life one day one wave at a time.

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
