OUR STORY


Ray Promer

Promer Surfboards custom shapes for your surfing ability from high performance short boards to classic nose riders… we do it all!

Ray Promer started out as a grom sweeping up at the 311 surf shop on 5th street in Huntington Beach. Under the direction of James Vartanian, Ray shaped his first board at age 14. He started surfing his own shapes in high school and printed his first logos in 1996. That’s when Promer Surfboards officially began.

Ray’s ghost shaped for most of the prominent shapers in the Costa Mesa/Newport Beach area. He worked for Wave Tools for 9 years before becoming the owner of Clearwater Glassing II, which he managed for 4 years. Clearwater Glassing has been in business for over 25 years.

All boards are manufactured from start to finish within Ray’s shop, which allows him to oversee and control the quality of the glass work. The shop has an in-house CNC machine to insure the replication of your magic board every time. This also minimizes the turn-around-time. Promer Surfboards is dedicated to developing and producing high quality surfboards.

Promer Surfboards is 100% American made… made by surfers for surfers.
