Bob Mitsven joins the Shapers Club

Californian shaper Bob Mitsven will be at the Shapers Club House in Marennes from November 29 to December 11, 2025. This is a rare opportunity to meet him in person and order a custom board directly from him, shaped on-site during his stay.

Who is Bob Mitsven?

Based in San Diego, California, Bob Mitsven has been shaping for over 50 years. Renowned for his artisanal approach, he handcrafts each of his boards without machines, following the tradition of the great shapers of his region. A close associate of Skip Frye, he is now a global reference for all things related to longboards, eggs, gliders, and hybrid boards. His work emphasizes simplicity, performance, and durability.

A Unique Opportunity

Bob's visit to France is an exceptional opportunity: only a few orders will be accepted during his presence in Marennes. Having your board shaped here also means avoiding import costs from California while benefiting from direct contact with the shaper. Each board will be custom-made according to your needs and surfing style.
