T.Patterson Surfboards

T. Patterson Surfboards, founded by Tim Patterson in 1980, is a San Clemente-based shaper known for high-performance custom boards ranging from tow-in guns for big waves to refined shortboards for world tour competitors. Patterson brings a multi-generational shaping legacy, trained at Hobie by surfing pioneers Dale Velzy and Mickey Munoz, and is recognized for combining technical design expertise with extensive personal water time. The brand gained prominence when Olympic gold medalist Italo Ferreira won the Tokyo 2020 surfing competition riding a hand-shaped T. Patterson board.
