Chris Christenson, will happen again

The Renaissance shaper Chris Christenson will join us again in Portugal for the Fish Fry, some good times and shaping. Please let us know If you are interested in any of Chris’s surfboards; he's accepting a limited number of custom orders, FCFS rule may apply - first-come, first-serve.

"I think the reason a lot of that stuff is coming back is just because of the flow that those boards have. They are so simple and a lot of that has been forgotten in surfing. With people trying to do 20 maneuvers into the beach, flopping their butts around, they forgot about letting the wave do some of the work. They forgot about just keeping it smooth..."

"...I feel like my market is the passionate surfer.Those are the people I want buying my boards. I don't want the guy that wants to save twenty bucks or wants it in two weeks. I have a pretty long wait for my boards and every one of them is done by me. I don't have any ghost shapers, all my boards come with a letter of authenticity that states I shaped it and no one else did. I sign each one and it has a serial number and it comes attached to every board... "
Chris Christenson, in an interview to surfmag.com
