Chris Christenson is a Southern California native who has been handcrafting custom surfboards in Carlsbad, California for over 30 years — apprenticed under legends Dick Brewer and Skip Frye, and carrying their design philosophy forward with a style entirely his own. From classic fish surfboards and refined longboards to high performance shortboards, step-ups, and big-wave guns, every Christenson surfboard is shaped with the precision of a lifetime spent in the water.
His boards have been trusted in some of the heaviest surf on earth by team riders Beau Cram, Oscar Langburne, Greg Long, Tom Lowe, and Ian Walsh — with Long, Lowe, and Walsh earning XXL Big Wave Awards and World Championships on Christenson designs. Whether you’re ordering a custom surfboard shaped to your exact specs or picking up an in-stock board, every shape that leaves the Carlsbad shaping bay carries the same dedication to craft that has defined Christenson Surfboards since 1992.
