My name is Miguel López.
I was born in Spain.
At the age of 10, skateboarding got me totally hooked. Quickly discovered snowboarding and at the age of 18 my father gave me for my birthday my first surfboard.
That was a Local Motion 6.5 Gunther Rohn glassed on fins. Since then, i never stopped surfing and felt that i was going to be engaged to that life forever.
15 years ago, i got really atracted by surfboard handcrafting as i wanted to experiment with alternative stuff to what the market was offering, so i learned from shapers and glassers here and there and began to do my own surfboards. Quickly people began to feel interest in my crafts so i began to manufacture for others, and everything really got started. Building surfboards that can really perform contributing to new approaches for the surfers ride is my main goal. A high performance ride with a beautiful board sounds like the Apex of “Shelby surfboards” spirit. Since i was born, i spent most of the time travelling in the backseat of a Porsche 911, so as i grew up, playing around motors and race cars turned usual.
My passion for motors, specially classic Porsches and motorcycles has always been walking aside along my life, so i couldnt conceive creating “Shelby surfboards” without giving to the Brand this cars and bikes flavour. To me, handmade crafting has been always related, so blending my passion for building high end surfboards with the aesthetics, performance and taste of classic motor racing is what represents my passion.
Hope you enjoy the ride!
