Chris Christenson

San Diego, California

Small fish. Serious guns. A lot of ground in between. Chris Christenson’s shaping education runs through Dick Brewer and Skip Frye, and his range shows it. Longboards, twins, shortboards and boards for the sort of days most people watch from shore.

Greg Long, Ian Walsh and Tom Lowe have trusted his designs in heavy water. Jeremy Jones has taken his ideas into snowboards. Across all of it, Christenson keeps working on how a board carries speed and holds a line. Clean curves with a considerable amount riding on them.
