I WANT TO SHAPE YOUR NEXT SURFBOARD!!!!!!!

I make custom surfboards (wood or foam; fiberglass or epoxy); fins; skate decks; nose & tail blocks; wood racks; wood board hangers; board straps; etc.

My shapes are all custom tailored to your needs.

I innovate templates from past and present cutting edge designs, as well as original templates and designs, fluid curves, and foils designed for speed, drive, flex, hold, release, trim, and glide!

My biggest influences are Skip Frye & Bill Thrailkill -- two masters of speed and trim in both small and large surf.

I got my start shaping boards out of necessity in the 80's. We didn't have surfshops to buy boards from where I grew up, so I salvaged old boards, broken boards, and became Grubby Clark's main surfboard blank customer in the Great Lakes Region.

I taught myself the trade through trial and error.

I have lived and surfed all over the world, and have owned and ridden a quiver of well-over 100 surfboards by various legendary shapers; all of which I studied, templated, and emulated early in my shaping career.

I know what works, and I apply my knowledge of air foils, hydrodynamics, and fluid dynamics to my own designs.

If you want a custom board made for you specifically, come by my shop or give me a call and we'll work something out.

Thanks for your support!

Sincerely,

David Vernon Falkenau
