I grew up in Huntington Beach and shaped my first board at 13 years old. I didn’t really take it seriously until I was about 21, so that would be about 2001. I had my first glass shop in Mission Bay around that time, after that I worked up and down the coast honing my craft; learning everything I could about shaping and glassing from the people I most respect in the industry. I started Weston Surfboards in 2012, opening my first in house factory in Oceanside. Since then we have expanded to a larger space but have always kept the same craftsmen quality to my brand. I’ve always been inspired by the older generations; guys like: Hap Jacobs, Donald Takayama, Bing, Mike Hynson, & Butch Van Artsdalen. There is a long list, but I’ll leave it at that.
