Save the planet save gas

This goes out to all the people that like to hurry up and stop at the next light or stop sign. Save the planet save gas,slow down and you will do just that. If you take the time to stop into San Clemente Surfboards & Art and you are a fellow shaper surfer or shop owner leave your ego at the door and come in and introduce yourself and be thankful you get to live in this country let alone in orange county. Just for the record I personaly refer many  people to many business in and out of town. So if you want to save the planet slow down talk less and drive slower and save the planet. When ego is lost limit is lost. So be thankful for all you have and remember what we think and feel and say becomes real so next time you start to say something negative about another think twice and breath and let go of ego and be happy. I thank each and every past and present customer i appreciate the support. See you at the gallery or in the water.

The Surfboard is what makes the Surfshop

So what  makes the surf clothing industry become a billion dollar business. Of course marketing or is it conditioning. I believe the surfboard always comes first because the surfboard creates the surfing life of the surfer today. The one thing that separates any so called surf shop is the surfboard. Go into 90 to 95% of any surf shop around the world what is the one thing most of them have in common? The one thing most of them have in common is they all carry 2 to 5 of all the same name brand surfboards and clothing companies. The shops that manufacture there own name brand surfboards and clothing are the real surf shops which are becoming a lost art and a dying breed.  If your only looking for a good deal that's one thing but isn't the quality and the function of the surfboard even more important? If your looking for functional surfboards that work and more importantly shaped by a surfer who surfs everything let alone rides everything then look no further and stop in and check a surfboard gallery that is carrying on the tradition of the past into the present surfers of today. Thank you for your support and thank you for choosing surfboards shaped by a surfer.

San Clemente Surfboards & Art by Paul Carter

I'm excited to say the first shaping and painting video is coming soon. The first one will be of me shaping a 6'3 twin fish style surfboard with a cool looking paint splash as well. The board is 6'3 21 by 2.50 center. This is a board after a 6ft I have been riding at trestles the last 3 to 4 months. I wanted a little bit more plaining speed and paddling for the long rides at trestles. So stay tuned I'm hoping to have it on a blogg in the next week or two with a surfing segment on the board as well. Thank you all again for your support and good energy. Stop in anytime to talk boards.

Qualty custom shaped surfboards by Paul Carter

So tell me people what is one of the most important points in purchasing a new surfboard? Most people would say price but most people that are only looking at a good deal don't necessarily care or are concerned about who shapes the board or where it comes from.
So with that being said from my own experience most of the surfboards that i enjoyed came from shapers that surfed.  I get people that walk into San Clemente Surfboards & Art and are only looking for a good deal and I asked them whats more important getting a surfboard that works for you or just getting a surfboard at a good price that is not suited for your ability? My surfboards are made in the USA and are HAND MADE not from a mold or from a country that pops them out for profit period.
I have been shaping Surfboards since 1993 and stopped counting at 6200 surfboards over 8 years ago.
I grew up riding everything from heavy classic long and short boards all the way into the rebirth of all the modern twin fins,three fins,four fins, five fins and single fin. I'm consistently researching and surfing many different surfboard designs shapes and fins.

 My surfboards are made for each individual and there ability and where they like to surf. My surfboards are shaped from many many years of surfing experience and hundreds of thousands of hours in the water riding everything from 5'9 all the way up to 9 to 10ft plus surfboards.
I build custom hand shaped surfboards for each and every individual for ALL ages and any size surfboards. So if you are only looking for a good deal then please don't waste my time and your time.
If you you want a great quality hand shaped surfboard at a very reasonable price then please come in and will be more than happy to take the time to build your custom surfboard.
I don't know to many shops you can walk into and talk directly to the shaper. So if you ready and willing to get a functional surfboard made for your weight and ability and the waves you like to surf then come into SCS and check out what we have and order a custom surfboard that will work for YOU.
Dare to be different and have the courage to ride a surfboard that is shaped by a surfer, I ride everything from short to long and everything in between so anyone that's says i only shape longboards are misinformed and don't know my backround.  Enjoy the ride of life one wave at a time and remember you can't surf if you cant catch the wave.
