Chris Christenson is one of the best shapers in the world in our opinion. You can have your Al Mericks, Firewires and Rustys, we will take CC. CC has been blowing up as of late, the only reason most people haven't heard of him is because he doesn't spend bukoos of money on ads in magazines. Recently his boards have been seen under the feet of Jordy Smith, Greg Long, Mikey Detemple, Brad Gerlach and a few other pros that have contracts with under companies and wouldn't appreciate us calling them out. All I will say is one likes Neckbeards and diving in dumpsters and the other likes to travel in Indo, grow dreads and has a affinity for motorboating.
We have been working on getting this together since meeting at the Surfexpo in January and we are STOKED on the opportunity to have Chris's boards which are more like works of art in our store. Heres a list of the boards we are getting.
- 5'11 Ocean Pro 3: Standard shortboard for guys like Jordy and Brad Gerlach
- 5'10 Ocean Avenger: Thruster with 5 fin option
- 5'7 Ocean Racer 1: Mini Simmons type board for crappy waves
- 5'9 C-hawk: This one is going to be a real work of art. When we talked to CC he said it took him 2 days on the paint on this one.
- 6'0 Cafe Racer: Round pin quad
Heres a couple of boards CC did for Jordy to get silly on. With Trestles coming up on the WCT I wouldn't be shocked if you saw a skull logo on some of the guys boards.
We have some things in the works with CC so be sure to stay connected to Surf City so you wont be out of the loop.
