2nd) Surfboard information
3rd) How to order
4th) Go and surf!!

1st) ABOVE IS SURFER AND SURFBOARD SHAPER CHRIS HARRIS

Born in South Africa and now living in Cornwall,Chris has been designing surfboards since 1992.

He has 25 years of competitive surfing behind him, and is still competing on the BPSA tour.
Chris has made boards for some of Europe's finest surfing talents.
Combined with the feed back from Skindog team riders, and his own input, its a winning combination!

He has worked all over the world shaping boards for labels such as, HIC, Islands Classics, Town& Country, Stewart, Nine Plus, MMY, among others!

His comitment and love for surfing,shines through in his boards,he is a top craftsman,and a true artist, with the passion to back it all up!

2nd) Surfboard Information

Chris_harris_surfboard_shaper_and_s Ok so you have had a surf lesson and hired soft surfboards for while and maybe even purchased one of those mass produced Chinese boards. But, you have now reached the point that you want to push yourself to the next level.

One way is to bite the bullet and order yourself a custom board that will be shaped for you and will be unique. If you want you can create a design or even have a picture of your loved one on the deck!! NICE.. 

 


3rd) How to order your custom surfboard
Surfboard_shaper Anyway, to ensure you get the right board you can contact us* and we will pass your information on to Chris who will contact you and discuss your surfing development via a custom board. Contact us > Custom surfboard Information   *(p.s the reason for this is that Chris can be a very hard man to track down as most surfers/surfboard shapers are!)

Oahu, Hawaii.

  • Perfect_righthand_point_peeling_at_lani_
    I love Hawaii, it's that simple. Every wave tests you and your ability. I truly believe that if one is to be a surfer he/she must travel to the home of surfing to sample it's delights at least once.
