J & J Custom Surfboards

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a small time surfboard shaper and glasser . Things started with me getting ahold of older beat up boards and doing the neccesary repairs to return them to the water . That naturally led to ding repairs for friends and finally shaping and glassing . My wife does all of the artwork on our boards , thus the J&J name ( Jules and John ) . At this time I am finishing up a board that is to be raffled for a fundraiser . 5% of the sale price of my boards gets donated to the Childrens Cancer Center of Tampa . We are located on the eastern side of the Lake of Mexico in St Petersburg Florida. Myspace Backgrounds
