CJ NELSON

DESIGNS

CJ Nelson’s surfing style is futuristic, yet constantly pays homage to the forefathers of the sport through subtle nuances and expressive body movement. He brings power when needed but always leads with finesse. For over 30 years, CJ has consistently reinvented his approach to surfing, keeping him in the conversation as one of the best of the best.

His surfboard design philosophy closely mirrors his surfing style—deeply rooted in tradition, yet infused with modern innovation. Each of CJ’s designs blends classic surfboard heritage with contemporary performance
enhancements, resulting in truly unique and functional shapes. CJ collaborates with a select group of renowned shapers, including Ian Chisholm, Ryan Engle, and Darius Gross, specializing primarily in longboards,
mid-lengths, and performance fish.
