About

Jimmy Lewis

I have been designing and building boards for over 50 years now. I started shaping surfboards in 1968. I have shaped surf boards, windsurf boards, kite boards, stand up boards and now foil boards. There is no other shaper in the world that has had the same success in all these different sports that I have had. Not only can I shape, but I can build any of these boards from start to finish and do all the steps of the building process. I don't have a staff of "designers" in charge of bringing out new molds for each season. I make all the prototypes and connectors for production myself.

Many of my shapes are timeless. I don't make "new" shapes every year just to sell more boards. Some shapes in my line will not change. They will do their job just as well today as they did when they were first introduced. Some shapes evolve, but they don't just disappear from the line because I don't make gimmick shapes just to catch the public's attention and fool them into thinking I have something that will make everything else on the market obsolete.

My style is to create functional designs, and that means all the curves and contours of the shape flow and blend together. This includes the outline, the rocker line, the deck line and thickness flow, the bottom shape, the deck shape and the rail shape. When all these curves blend and flow into each other, you get the GOLDEN RATIO, and I have achieved this GOLDEN RATIO much more often than most other board makers.

All of these shape factors determine not only how a board glides through the water, whether you're riding on wave, cruising across a lake, or plowing through choppy waters.

My boards , whether surf, kite, stand up or foil, adjust on the water more naturally and with less effort from the rider than many other brands boards because of the GOLDEN RATIO I get in each of my shapes.
