Surfing brings the purest joy to my heart, I want to share that joy with you.

Ben looooooooves surfing!!! It is like nothing else on earth. A beautiful connection through liquid curls to the eternal universe that wraps all of us in its silky web. That feeling of pure joy, pure freedom, truly in the moment of what you’re doing. Everything else falls away and all you’re left with is a smile as big as the sky, and you can’t wait to paddle out and do it again.

Ben Soto is a start-to-finish surfboard builder from Garden Grove, CA. He is entirely self-taught in the sacred craft of shaping, his passion and obsession are his driving force. He shapes various designs, from fun little bellyboards born from broken shortboards to traditional shapes like logs, fish, eggs, and mini Simmons. If you can have fun in the water with it, he’ll make it.

When not creating boards you can find Ben at a variety of spots along the coast riding waves, prone paddle boarding, training in jiujitsu or snapping some photos.
