T. Patterson Surfboards was founded in 1980 by surfboard shaper Tim Patterson. Prior to opening his own factory, Tim shaped at Hobie Surfboards in Dana Point, California, where he was mentored by surfboard shaping legends such as Dale Velzy, Chris McElroy, Mickey Munoz, and Terry Martin. Tim continues to apply his knowledge and skills to research, design, and create constantly better surfboards. He also personally spends lots of time in the water making sure that his designs give surfers the speed and responsiveness that we all crave.
Very few shapers have been able to attract the kind of surfing talent that has come to rely on T. Patterson Surfboards. WCT surfers like Italo Ferreira, Carlos Munoz and Lucca Mesinas all ride for T. Patterson. Working with great surfers and personally testing his boards has provided Tim with feedback he has applied in his shaping.
