surfboard fin drawing by Paul Carter

Painting a surfboard fin

I was recently commissioned by a long time friend C.M, we grew up surfing one of the magical surf breaks of Trestles.  

 He ask for a design around the infamous break called church,  hence the name church which was a stones throw away from the water back in a previous time capsule of Camp Pendleton.

This a perspective either from the bridge or the hill top.  There is a large palm tree on the north side of the bridge that was there in the early 1980s, along with many more just south.

I like to create a sketch of an idea before painting and this is the actual size of the fin and drawing which is a 9.5 inch fin.

When I start the painting I will adjust certain parts of the original drawing which is part of being totally present in the creative process.

 In the image below I use paint pens starting with white to layout the scene before diving into the multiple colors of the painting.

I am putting together a short video of the painting process which will be on my YouTube channel soon so please join the tribe from link below click and then click subscribe when you go to the channel 👍🏾

Custom San Clemente surfboards & art by Paul Carter

San Clemente Surfboards custom made with original art both hand shaped and hand painted.

A time capsule from the past to the present of the thousands of surfboards I have handshaped since 1993 and the 100s of Surfboards & paintings since 2000.

I am writing this blog journal to capture my journey, because it is very easy to forget where we have come from,  and the courage it took and takes on this journey to learn by doing the work and to embrace the creative arts that I and we enjoy 🗝

 When I look at this painting I can only imagine what it was like back then before the harbor, with the water men like Ron Drummond, Lauren Harrison, Pete Peterson, Mickey Munoz, Phil Edwards, Hobie Alter, and cast of many more, surfing sailing and living off the land for the select few who knew how.

This board was created for the SoCal woodie club along with an original canvas painting of the classic Dana Cove. 

It was for raising money through the raffles at one of the gatherings of the club with 100s of classic cars.

San Clemente Surfboards & Art by Paul Carter

San Clemente Surfboards & Art,  established in 1993.
Custom hand shaped surfboards and art in all shapes and sizes by inspired surfer-shaper-artist Paul Carter.

San Clemente Surfboards & Art
By Paul Carter

In the image above is a 4 x 9 feet and one of the largest paintings I have hand painted to date.

I have many photos with top athletes with this mural from Mickey Munoz one of the crew that paved the way with surfing in California and the islands.  Kelly Slater 11 time world champion to world record breath hold free diver Stig Severisen and many more all awesome inspiring humans.

I have learned by doing the work consistently with surfing, shaping and painting and the importance health and fitness and nutrition🗝

I have grown through  many phases of vitamins and juicing and I have learned through trial and error  pros and cons of each and the time and money of each one.

I have learned to simplify how to get a solid daily vine ripened Whole Foods foundation that bridges  all the nutritional gaps of what I don’t eat every day. 

I have healed through serious injuries with nutrition alone, and I have learned the hard way and the optimum way to recover and repair the body and the prevention for the marathon of life.

What I am sharing with you I am learning and continue to learn daily through experience on many levels and hours of research and lectures and I am very confident because everything I am sharing is back by clinical research and results.

Would you like to learn what I have learned and take you health and energy to the next level? Simply email cboards,com@gmail.com or for phone evaluation call 949-370-5807.

I look forward to sharing what I have learned and what I know will help you with recovery-repair and prevention.

 I have been playing with paint pens and colored ink pens and some colored pencils along with digital drawings and coloring to learn the different options and techniques that are necessary for each application.

I get inspired by nature all the time and the dreams are gettting more frequent with many surf spots to surf mentally and physically.
