Step inside legendary Gary Goodrum’s surfboard shaping room in the heart of Leucadia — where five decades of San Diego surf history live in the wood shavings.

Gary’s been shaping since the golden era of La Jolla Shores — running with the crew that included Henry Hester, Rusty Preisendorfer, and the Windansea legends whose photos still hang on his walls. He shaped the channel-bottom hulls that made Bill Caster’s boards famous, invented the G-wing back when nobody else was messing with tail design, and never stopped chasing the perfect line since.

Walk through his studio today and you’ll find the whole story taped to the walls — a 1989 Shatto Designs calendar signed by half of San Diego surfing, invoices going back decades, a yellowed clipping of the Windansea Surf Club “Les Invincibles.” Room to room, it’s part workshop, part museum, part living archive of what it actually took to build a surf culture by hand.

And the handwritten steps taped up by the planer say everything you need to know about the man: 25 steps to a finished board, ending in blue marker — “STEP 0 — DON’T SKIP ANY STEPS.” That’s Gary. Every pass, every grit, every check-the-lines — nothing rushed, nothing skipped, fifty-plus years in.

Foam to fiberglass, shavings on the floor to a board in a grom’s hands out front - this is what a life’s work looks like. Grateful this legend is still out here doing it, board by board, exactly the right way.

Just ask around… any local surfer in North County will know how you can order a custom Goodrum surfboard.
