Crafting Boards For
Freshwater Souls
Step 1: The Consultation
The custom process begins with a consultation with Chris, where he takes the time to understand your specific needs, goals, and riding style. He will ask about the river conditions you usually surf, your skill level, and the types of waves you want to conquer. Whether you’re riding powerful standing waves or navigating playful river features, Chris will tailor the board’s design to match the environment you surf in and the experience you’re looking to achieve.
Step 2: Tailored Design
Once the consultation is complete, Chris will use your input to design a board that fits your individual style and the river surfing conditions you frequent. From selecting the right length and width to choosing the appropriate rocker and rail profiles, every element of the board is customized for maximum performance. Chris’s decade of experience in river surfing ensures that the board’s shape will enhance your control, speed, and maneuverability on the water. You’ll also have the opportunity to choose the materials and finish of the board to ensure it reflects your personality and aesthetics.
Step 3: Craftsmanship & Build
After finalizing the design, Chris will begin crafting your board by hand, using the highest quality materials for durability and performance. Every detail, from the fin placement to the final polish, is completed with care and precision to ensure the board meets your expectations. Chris’s dedication to craftsmanship means your board will not only ride beautifully but also stand the test of time, handling the challenges of river surfing with ease.
