Chris Christenson

Chris Christenson began his surfboard shaping journey while crafting boards for the surf team at Point Loma Nazarene University. He honed his skills under legendary shapers Dick Brewer and Skip Frye—an experience that helped shape his path to becoming one of the most respected surfboard shapers in the world.

Known for his mastery in designing all types of surfboards, Christenson follows a “many arrows in the quiver” philosophy, a mindset influenced by his background as a competitive golfer. Whether he’s creating high-performance shortboards for World Championship Tour (WCT) surfers or handcrafting retro fish and classic longboards, Chris brings the same level of precision and passion to every surfboard he shapes.

Today, Christenson Surfboards are celebrated for their innovation, craftsmanship, and versatility.
