How to draw waves & surf art by Paul Carter

Simple tips on how to draw waves and the way one learns is by doing the consistent activity with what you want to learn.

Born in Laguna Beach, California, I was raised in the small communities of SoCal and the surfing lifestyle.

My surfing journey began at age 4, I learned on a long board that Was to big and heavy to carry.

I was pushed into 6-12 inch waves and riding straight in to the beach.

Through the journey of exposures to surfing and surfboards and surf shops and the many beaches and characters on them, little did I know that many years later I would want to learn how the shape surfboards and build a business from it. 

The same is true for wanting to learn how to paint and draw.  I did some basic drawing as a child periodically, you know those day dreaming times  during my grade school years and during my high school years as well.

In high school I only took one drawing class with a great teacher named Rick Delanty who is and was and inspiration with fitness and art, and a professional paid artist.

I recent shot of a 10’2 with a custom Clark foam blank made in 1999 handshaped.

I was meeting the new owner of this classic style longboard and thought a photo on the infamous Dana Point pier would be great.

How to draw a surfboard mural by Paul Carter

My shaping journey began in 1993 learning on a skill100 door planer.

I learned a great foundation of shaping by numbers with the guidance of the master craftsmen Steve Bahne of infinity surfboards.  It has been a learning process everyday.

I shaped every board by hand and in 2008 I just broke the 6000 board mark in all shapes and sizes from longboards to mid range to short boards, I surfed and shaped about every design out there from single fin to twin, 3 -4-5 fin boards which really helped with the whole custom boards designs for all ages.

As you will see in the video There is a creative design process of drawing surfboard to a tropical surf scene as shown in the color image.
