ABOUT

 ​

​Welcome to my website. I've been operating it since early 2003, and it has changed around a lot over the years. My name is Carlos Reyes, but most everyone calls me "C". I was born on March 3rd,1975. Don't really care to celebrate my B-Day. It's not a big deal for me. My family is from Colombia originally which makes me Hispanic/american. I went to college and have a graphics degree so adapting to 3D Design and CNC shaping came easy. I served as the "Local Shaper" in Miami for 20 years from 2003-2023. People always ask how many boards I've made and the number is over 3000 including the 10 years as a hand shaper which was over 500 hand shapes. Now at age 50, I've accumulated over 31 years experience working on surfboards including: glassing, paint, and sanding along with many technical repairs and resin installations. I can work with both Polyester and Epoxy resins, and being an artist since childhood I'm also been able to add color and graphics unto boards in a variety of different ways. Due to the increasing cost of rent and lack of rental space I've had to relocate to central Florida where I now work the craft in my garage and my latest shaping bay is in a shed. Being a small-time local shaper and making only a handful of boards this compact setup is just right for me. One thing I've always maintained over the years is a humble spirit and affordable prices. I enjoy working on surfboards and the essence of making them is having fun both in and out of the water. Prices are determined by cost, and also the difficulty level of the add ons. Even with the rise in costs my boards continue to be affordable which is a quality in of itself.
