Custom San Clemente surfboards &art by Paul Carter

Research and development surfing on custom made surfboards & art.

I still get stoked on shaping new boards for clients and for myself.  

Here is a 9ft board about 22.75 wide single fin set up.  This board weighs around 14.50 to 15.50 Lbs.

This is a choppy smalls day about 1-2ft surf with some pockets to create enough momentum to make some turns.

One of the was I keep the fire stoked is to keep surfing and to keep rotating the boards every 6-12 months.

This is the latest 9 footer I have been riding.  I have had in 2ft up to 6ft and it covers everything from trimming to nose riding to carving when the waves are permitting the speed.

The finished shaped board, clean and simple with the wedge stringers inspired by Rene Yater, in the mid 90s may begin using that set up on my own boards.

A small day with some quick nose rides through the chop. 

Thank you each for your positive support energy and intentions.

See you in the surf.
