As a dedicated board rider for life, I have a deep-rooted
passion for finding the perfect design, the perfect feeling, that allows me and everyone else to express themselves as freely and aggressively as I can imagine. At a young age, I found the draining experience of riding stock equipment unfulfilling and frankly, boring. From humble beginnings in an 8’ x 10’ backyard shed in Orlando, we built 18 boards in just over 2 years using nothing but shoddy YouTube tutorials and a litany of subpar tools to get the job done. With every custom I sold, the feeling of satisfaction and pure stoke surpassed every expectation I could have held. In August of 2019 I was blessed with the opportunity to formally apprentice under a master craftsman at the Clean Ocean Surfboards factory. It was there I learned each step of the process, the right way. It wasn’t easy, nothing worth having ever is, but I learned more in those walls about myself, my strengths and weaknesses, the industry I was building a business in, and how to push past what I knew to be my limits than any classroom or formal education setting could have provided. My time in Jacksonville started equally as humble, with just over 15 boards being built our first year. A core group of friends continued to rally behind the brand, spreading the message to anyone with a listening ear. Slowly but surely, the local surf crowd came to recognize our logo and those core riders who embraced the Psyched Surf vision. Now, after over 5 years of grassroots connections, we have made nearly 150 boards under the Psyched Surf label, with hundreds more sanded and polished over the years.
