Had Jose fix up a board I’ve had for a long time and he did a beautiful job. Color matched sun-tinted foam really well and made it look new again. Would highly recommend, thanks for the awesome work.

Was recommended to Jose by a friend from Redondo Beach. I needed a new longboard and Jose made me a great board, a single fin 9'4". I love the board. He also fixed a ding I got quickly. Highly recommend.

These boards are gorgeous and 100% Handcrafted by a team with over 100 years of combine experience! They treated me like family from the door. Showed me the entire process of shaping, pouring resin and polishing. They walked me through designing a board specifically for me, and it turned out incredible. Great experience and highly recommend!

Jose was mentored by the best, Phil Becker and Hap Jacobs. He has been shaping me magic surf boards and his brother has been glassing them for over 40 years in the legendary cypress factory. Nobody takes it from A-Z better than Jose and he's a good human being.

I bought a custom log from Jose and it is an absolute dream. Fully wrapped in 10 oz volan, the thing is a tank and does exactly what I want it to. Jose is as nice as you could hope for and all the locals love him. I will recommend his board to everyone.

Jose is not only my close friend, he is an exceptional shaper! He’s been my shaper for many years and I couldn’t be happier with the boards he and the Cypress crew have made for me. As a life long surfer, it’s paramount to have a shaper as skilled as Jose! 5 stars all day long!

José is simply an incredible shaper and board manufacturer. I live in Maryland, and like to surf in California. Called him up, he asked a bunch of specific questions, and went to work. Result, the board was ready exactly when we agreed upon, he delivered on my vision, he materialized it. The board is a masterpiece. The cost, super fair. The customer service impeccable and personalized.Thank you, José, for helping me realize my bucket-list dream!Sincerely, Andreas Keller, Saludos!
