The 2025 Surf Series continues a design partnership with Christenson that began in 2012 with the debut of the original Mountain Surfer. Based in Encinitas and Mammoth, California, Christenson is both a lifelong surfer and snowboarder. His company, Christenson Surfboards, makes everything from contest boards to longboards and record breaking big wave guns for some of the best surfers in the world.
Christenson’s Surf Series board designs reflect design elements from his surfboards that he adapts into hand shaped prototype board templates made out of thin pieces of wood. He shapes the outline and rocker profiles of the wood templates using the same tools he uses to shape surfboards.
