Hand painted surfboards by Paul Carter

A time capsule of a hand shaped and hand

Painted surfboard from my painting journey. 

I started shaping surfboard in 1993 and shaped thousands of boards before I started painting them let alone painting period.  

I was inspired in 2000-2001 to start painting little did I know when I started shaping I would be painting these boards for homes and business around the planet many years later.

Like in sports or any type of skill the only way one learns is by doing the work the activity consistently.  

There hundreds and thousands of more talented artist out there but the difference is I'm

Doing the work and more importantly I'm stoked on the process and putting my art out there without worrying what people thinks, which is not easy in the beginning stages.

Drawing tips at sano with a time lapse ink drawing from my imaginations and the travels around the planet.

I am finding the importance of keeping that creative balance from the inside out is key, and using the left and ride sides of the brain to stay fit and stoked on a healthy lifestyle.
A reminder for all of us that balance is a mental, nutritional, spiritual, physical journey and each is important to the other.  Health is a daily choice not chance.

San Clemente Surfboards Art Review by Paul Carter

This is a fun all around board for nose riding and carving or cruising through the sections.   This board is a 7'11 and works great from 7 to 8fit range.  I build custom hand shaped surfboards for your dreams.

 I enjoy riding a 9 foot board but I wanted to change it up with a combination of a the best of a short and longboard something that I could still carve in the pocket and also hang five or 10 through the sections.   

I use the 325 and 350 future side bites depending on the size of waves,  with a 8 to 8.50-DD center fin and all the way back in the box which is set at 6.5,  the side boxes on this board are set at 18 to give it the single fin feel with the carving option when you want it.

The wedge stringer was an inspiration from a Renny Yater Surfboard I saw in the early 90s. 

I began incorporating the wedge stringer from 1995 to 2004 in many hand shaped surfboards.

So it came full circle this last year and I'm stoked to have the wedge stringer back again.  Join my instagram tribe from the link below.

Sunrise SoCal San Clemente

An amazing Sunrise in San Clemente.  I make it a point to try and watch a sunset as much as possible to slow down and reflect on the day.

There is a unique energy and feeling that happens when watching the sunrise.

Get out and watch the sun and always focus on being grateful and thankful.

Shortboards surfboards San Clemente Paul Carter

A new shortboard and a comparison on the two shapes.

On the left a 5'11 by 19.75 both are 2.38 thick,the board on the right is a 5'9 by 21.

I have been riding the 5'9 in knee to chest high surf and I'm very stoked with the speed it carries through the flat sections with more then enough speed for quick or carving turns and slide when you want it.

handshaped sc surfboards

I wanted to make a board for chest high to overhead surf that has a similar curve with a bit less volume all the way around.

Hand Shaping Surfboards Paul Carter

New Surfboard Handshaped shortboard Paul Carter

handshaped surfboards by Paul Carter

New surfboards and shortboards in SoCal San Clemente. As a Hand shaper for over 20 years I still enjoy Hand shaping all my boards. It's sculpting and art with every aspect hand made in the USA.

Here is a light blue in opeque color which is mixed in the resign which gives a classic look on a modern surfboard. The board Is 19.75 wide by 2.38 thick for with a nice curve in the tail outline for speed and tight turns in the pocket. 

Set up with future fins the F6 and I like the 350s for the back quad set up for more munuverabiltiy and speed and less drag.

The clear board is a 6'4 by 2.58 thick by 21.50 this is for a guy in the 175-200 lb range a excellent board for waves in the solid waist to over head surf also set up as a five fins as well. 

If your getting a quad get the center fin you will be happy you did. It gives many more options for many types of waves. Let me know if you have any comment or questions.

New Journey for San Clemente Surfboards an Art

It's been a ride of many waves making it through the biggest recession since the 1930s from 2007 to 2014. I'm  pleased to say I'm not going out of business but growing into the simplicity and unlimited creativity by closing the retail store.
Hand shaping and hand painting will continue with a new vision of inspiration on many levels.
Thank you to all the family and friends along the way I appreciate all the support.
