Chris Ruddy Surfboards

Happy New Year! Just 8 years ago I sketched out this logo and sent it to my friend @jasonpadayao to help create a new logo so I could re-enter the shops and resume my shaping career! Going strong as ever, a huge thanks goes out to my loyal customers and dealers for your support! I simply love making surfboards! May those of you struggling, have a better year going forward! May we all find refuge from the stresses of life in the waves! Aloha #chrisruddysurfboards #customsurfboards

#zenithfish is a traditional fish outline with a modern bottom! It catches waves easily on less than perfect days. This 5’5 was done with a quad fin set up and custom colors! See our website in Bio to order yours today!

Merry Christmas from #sandiego !

The #zenithfish is our flagship fish design. It will turn any wave into a speed rush. Excellent for those high tide slower waves, but it really steps up when the waves get steep too! #chrisruddysurfboards #custommade

#custom boards are just about making people happy! Can you imagine a new board with your own design? If so, talk to one of our dealers or find our website in bio and click on surfboards made to order! It’s fast and affordable! #chrisruddysurfboards #customsurfboards #madeinusa

@iamfancyp and her custom 8’2 #minidrifter with African print cloth inlays! So cool and totally custom! Thanks! See you in the water!

#thunderballsq and it’s beautiful wide tail is the key to #noseriding this beautiful model is 9’6 and has a wood tail block and black resin pinlines that you can see and feel. Made custom for one of my oldest customers Jamie Nichols

Having fun on a #sundayafternoon ! Life can’t be all work and no play! #chrisruddysurfboards

Home sweet shaping room! Just the best designs come out of our shaping bay. Today I stuck to all handshaping and shaped 4 #threeskaggs and 4 #fourskaggs models. #chrisruddysurfboards

#stilettomodel is a fantastic board for speed and turning! This one is 7’10 and will surf waves from 3-12’ #chrisruddysurfboards

#freedomlifemaster ! A mid length phenomenon! It has the 4+1 fin set up and can surf just about anything! See our website in bio for more details! #chrisruddysurfboards

I love making the custom surfboards for my customers. It’s way easier than you may think. See the three photos! It all starts with a sketch or a screenshot. Simple and fun! #chrisruddysurfboards #zenithfish

Myself @chrisruddysurf and Sean Mattison @vonsolsurfboards hangin’ at north jetty.! Sean let me try out his #redfin Hynson. I had a blast! Always doing R&D! Thanks Sean!

Colors are cool! The best way I know to express your style!

Some smooth surfing from @payton.seamons surfing on my #zerogravitymodel from my wakesurfing line @yachtclubsports ! She surfs smooth and makes it look so easy!

There is a cure for the #summertimeblues ! More blues! Check out this quiver and say goodbye to any type of boredom! #threeskaggs #droidsw #minidrifter

@neens999 and the new ride! Don’t hesitate to get your #shoveltaildrifter made to order. #chrisruddysurfboards

The custom board process is alive and well! It’s affordable and fast! These shots show just how we do it. And as you can see, 240 lb. @akuleto is ripping on his single fin!
