Broken to a new life art by Paul Carter

Broken to a new life, painted cutting board by Paul Carter 2024.

Where is your perception? Do you see the positives or negatives, either way it’s a mental training to learn how to focus on the positives and be aware of the negative conditioning.

This broken cutting board was given to me by a good friend James after a great breakfast at the beach.

I put some temporary tape on the back to keep it together while I was painting it.

Focusing on the positive thoughts, feelings and emotions it’s a daily training that no one can do for us, but ourselves.

This is the final version of multiple layers of paints and highlighting.  I also added a little bit of glitter to highlight the reflections that you would see in the water and the waves..

When I say broken to me, it means breaking another layer of the conditioned lies that are longer helping me in a positive way.

I used a variety of paints from acrylic paints to paint pens to tulip paints, which is used on clothing.

Custom san Clemente surfboards & art by Paul Carter

A custom 10 foot with three Redwood stringers.

The center stringer is quarter inch and the side stringers are 1/8.

The blank is custom made by US blanks

This is a cross between a classic with a little performance for gliding and carving with a slight edge, 

The last foot and a half of the board makes it project out of the turn, instead of simply pivoting.

The round pen is much smoother for overall surfing,, and the square tail releases, quicker out of a turn

Started adding the feet on the nose in the mid 90s and it progressed into more art from 2000 on from abstract paintings to tropical surf dreams

Here is a custom freehand original artwork requested by the client using pencil.

Thank you for the positive support and empowering conversations. All shapes and sizes available custom shapes colors, resin tints, etc.

San Clemente surfboards & art by Paul Carter

A custom made surfboard with hand painted original abstract artwork.

Building custom shaped and painted surfboards since 1993 by a Surfer Shaper Artist.

Experience is priceless.

These are the colors the client requested along with some modifications with dimensions, and the outline and rocker.   

Each board is made for the individual and there experience and the type of waves and surfing they like to do.

Here is the custom fin that goes with the board

This board is a 8’8 I made for a little bigger surf and still have the speed for nose riding and turning.

I have ridden this board about 5 times in 1 foot surf to a foot over head and it covers what I am after. 

Thank you each for the trust and positive support and intentions to create your custom surfboards and artwork. 

Any questions you can email me or send a text.

 

San Clemente surfboards custom painted by Paul Carter

The creative process is a journey in itself from learning shape surfboards by hand since 1993 and to freehand paint these boards directly on the foam is a true test from the inside out. 

These painting and all of the paintings I am inspired ti create at not airbrushed or traced.

To create these boards I will sometimes create a sketch to give the customers an idea from there input and come up with the colors and the size of board to fit in a home or office.

Learning by doing is how have evolved  and I don’t believe in mistake or failures.

 I look at both as what have I learned? and how will I improve and keep learning?

This last SurfBoard was created out of a blank that was going to be thrown into a dumpster.

It was a 710 Blank and this is the design that I could fit within the blank.

The nose rocker is definitely flatter than the average board, the tail rocker has a nice curve to it.

 The nose is 14.75 wide in the center point is 20.75 and the tail is 14.25.

The thickness with the glass is 2 3/4 in the center with tapered rails.

This board paddles great with plenty of speed and is loose for carving some nice turns.

Thank you for following the journey and join me on Instagram/pcboards for the spontaneous creativity.
