Shaping Excellence: A Deep Dive into Chris Christenson's Surfboard Mastery

Under the mentorship of shaping legend Dick Brewer from 1992 to 1998, Chris honed his skills and gained a reputation for designing and shaping a diverse range of surfboards. His abilities led him to shape big wave guns for renowned surfers, including Greg Long and Ian Walsh, achieving notable victories and multiple XXL awards.

Chris Christenson is more than a shaper; he's a punk rock, forward-thinking artisan deeply connected to the surfing legacy. His clientele ranges from top surfers globally to athletes in professional baseball and football, rock musicians, and surfers with unique styles. With a portfolio of 30 different models, Christenson Surfboards caters to a diverse audience, offering both standard models and limitless custom designs.

In 2012, Chris expanded his influence by acquiring Moonlight Glassing, a legendary surfboard crafting shop located next to Christenson Surfboards in San Marcos, CA. Moonlight Glassing, known throughout southern California, further enhances the quality and craftsmanship of Chris's boards.

“ In this insightful surfboard podcast, the journey begins with a discussion on the intricacies of surfboards and their role in the "Stab in the Dark" series.

Photos for Ian Thompson Surfboards

This photograph was captured by Skip O’Donnell, owner of O’Donnell Photograf, located in the charming town of Cardiff by the Sea, north of San Diego. During the shoot, Skip had the privilege of photographing Ian Thompson, a classic surfboard shaper and master craftsman. Ian’s technique is steeped in tradition, where he hand-mills and creates custom stringers out of redwood and agave before bonding the foam with his specially crafted stringers and fins. Furthermore, Ian personally takes care of the glassing in his workshop, ensuring that every component of the board is meticulously created with his own hands. Ian’s surfboards are celebrated for their superior quality and exceptional craftsmanship. Their style is classic, reminiscent of surfing’s early days. If you seek a surfboard that will stand the test of time while embodying timeless elegance, then an Ian Thompson board is the perfect option for you.

 🏄‍♂️🌊 Volume vs Thickness: A Surfer’s Dilemma! 🌊

🏄‍♂️Ever found yourself wondering how volume and thickness affect your surfboard’s performance? 🤔 I recently had a deep chat with Gary, a skilled surfboard shaper, and it got me thinking!When I placed my board order, Gary asked me for the volume, but I could only remember the thickness—2 5/8". 🏄‍♂️ Curious, I asked him to explain the difference, and here's what I learned:Thickness refers to the center thickness, while volume is the overall foam inside the board. 🌊 It’s all about how foam is distributed across the board, which impacts how it rides.For example, a dome deck has less foam at the rails, while a flat deck offers more foam on the rails. 🏄‍♂️ Finding the right balance is key!If you're jumping between different shapers or boards, you’ll notice the variations in how volume is spread. Every shaper has their own unique approach. 🌟Whether you're a pro or a beginner, understanding how volume and thickness affect your ride can totally change your surfing game! 🌊🤙What’s your take on the volume vs thickness discussion when selecting a surfboard? Drop your thoughts below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #SurfboardTalks #VolumeVsThickness #SurfingTips #surfboards #surfboardshapers #shapers
