Clay Bennett Handmade Surfboards

This blog is here to introduce you to the surfboards I make & myself ,my views,thoughts,projects and surfing.
First off I AM NOT AN AVID INTERNET TYPE GUY so post probably won't be daily . I work with my hands and eyes all day so sitting in front of a computor is tiring to me. I love building surfboards and I am basically a workaholic (don't want to be). I have surfed all my life and worked as a pro surfer/teamrider,sales rep, surf shop mgr/salesman, sander/ding guy, laminator,polisher, and of course a shaper/designer. I have been active in one phase or another since 1968 and still love it .
Pics of boards will be forth coming as will surf pics and other assorted strange stuff.

Handmade for You

Surfboards are what I make -all shapes all sizes -these are build specifically for our waves (or where you are traveling to) and made to obtain maximum speed and performance in those conditions while supporting your weight and size. THIS CAN NEVER BE MASS PRODUCED--only CUSTOM one off ers can do this ---I bring almost 50 yrs surfing experience to the table ,40+ years surfboard design experience (many companies-many big ones), over 40 yrs working coaching & designing boards for team riders, 40 plus years sales experience, and 35+ years shaping experience -wo-ah WHY BUY A SURFBOARD FROM SOMEONE or SOMEONE ELSE ?---Can't be quality and can't be pricing--even though I raised my pricing on 2/1/11---Iam still below surf shops and even most other board makers, as a matter of a fact I'm still below 2006 prices (pre recession)---so the question is why? I am told I slow and take too long --kinda weird cause year in and year out I put out as many or more than almost all the local guys--kinda snuffs that myth ---So it must be that I'm not in all the cool shops ---heck if I sell to shops I've gotta raise prices to you!! The bottom line is I stand behind my work if for any reason you don't like your bd bring back and I'll make you a new one -correcting any problem if its valid--So back to you --WHAT ARE YOU WAITING ON?
