Jim Dunlop

Jim started surfing in 1966 at Barbers Point, Oahu—later relocating to the east coast as the “shortboard revolution” was in full swing. As a kid in Virginia Beach during the early ’70s, he stripped old boards, re-shaped them, and was hooked. He’s  been building surfboards for over 40 years.search engine optimization At his Jacksonville Beach factory, Jim shapes, paints, glasses, and sands every surfboard by hand in-house. Low quantity—high quality, with a craftsman’s attention to detail.

For a full list of board models, just Google "Surfboards".

Models? We don’t need no stinkin’ models.  Jim handcrafts each surfboard to fit your specific requirements. From high-performance shortboards, to fish, funshapes, and longboards—if you can ride a wave on it, Jim’s already built thousands of ’em.

Letting go of my accurate long base, serial #00003( I’m guessing the third long base off the production line) Less than 200 boards on it, ( I bought it to deal with the timber that Teccel Brazil put in their longboard blanks back in ‘08-‘09) Too heavy for me anymore, arthritis is a bitch. $600 No haggling, I dropped $1250 plus shipping on it
