From Bodyboarding to Shaping: Christine’s Journey
Christine started riding waves with her bodyboard at just ten years old. By the next year, she was hooked on surfing. But she didn’t stop there. She studied, experimented, and found her true path in the surf world.
The Art of Shaping: A Journey of Discovery
During her time at Laguna College of Art and Design, Christine discovered her true passion: shaping. She studied classic designs and crafted her first board in 2009, drawing inspiration from traditional wooden boards.

Furrow Surf Craft: Where Craftsmanship Meets Innovation
As Christine’s skills as a shaper grew, she started crafting boards from EPS as well. Her talent and determination extend beyond the shaping room; she’s also an entrepreneur. In 2012, she founded Furrow Surf Craft, a workshop that has since created over 200 unique boards. Each board is a piece of art, a piece of her.
