The art of hanshaped surfboards San Clemente

The art scultping of Handshaped surfboards in San Clemente has many roots all the way back to the first surf shop of Velzy Jacabs in the late 50s.

The shop was located on north el camino real were the Aussie dogs is now just up from another shop with roots and fellow shaper Timmy Patterson.

There is a lot of history in SC with shops that have come and moved on such as infinity were the catalyst shop or lost surfboards is now off pico on the ocean side.

That shop was home to Rick James surfboards,Herbie Fletcher and many more. 

I think of Midget smith with whom I shared a shaping room with for 3 years. Midget was a great surfer and shaper and fun to surf with I always enjoyed talking with midget.

I'm  told he had a shop down by the sc pier in the late 70s.

The shops that followed were also started by fellow hand shapers such as Brian Clark of BC surfboards just north of del mar street. 

Stewarts shop is another shop at the south end of El Camino Real both here and Brian are in the craftsmen category and both good surfers.

I will expand further on the many shapers in San Clemente from the past to the present.

Here is a quick surfboard review on a latest batch of hand shaped short boards.

A nice variety of boards for all types of surf and surfing for two foot to 6 to 8 foot.

One of the boards is a fun small wave board that i'm really stoked about for the paddling and speed and maneuverability.

There is a unique connection with Handshaped surfboards as in sculpting,painting,music and just about anything one creates with his or her own hands.

I am grateful an thankful to Steve B of Infinity for teaching me a solid foundation of Hand Shaping Surfboards, and to Terry M, Midget S,Terry S,Timmy P,Ron H,Mark E,Matt B and All the Craftsmen that share there experience openly to one another.

The blank was put together by USblanks and is one of 5 I have shaped so far.

This is a 9'3 by 22.50 by 2.75 with 3 ceder wood stringers and a single fin box,with a wave painting in and under the stringer.

The first 3 stringer painting was in 06 and is now on display at Nic's Vacuum & appliance at 216 Del Mar street in San Clemente.

CJ Is the proud new owner and I am the proud craftsmen to pass it on to him.

It would be great to have a large showroom to display all the boards and art I have created since 93,and to create more to share show the journey I have been shaped and painted by.

Thank you CJ and each and all my family and friends on this planet, I appreciate all the support and inspiration.

I have been shaped by each and every surfboard from the inside out on this journey that started in 93.

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.
