Item Description

Timmy Patterson can be found in the shaping bay seven days a week. His passion and devotion for the craft are fueled by an upbringing (his first memory begins at 3 years old) of being surrounded by surfboard builders.

Timmy started his shaping career with fixing up ding repairs for friends and then found his way to Hobie Surfboards. This is where he worked alongside his two uncles and father, it’s where he learned how to sand, hot coat, and make fins. He pretty much did everything there - even fixed the machines and fans. (He still maintains his own machines and makes his own tools to this day). He was there for six years and then began working in his own garage with his friends - borrowing planers to shape surfboards, bellyboards, and handboards. Anything that could ride waves.

Eventually, he became more well-known in the little surf town and was asked by Herbie Fletcher and McElroy to help shape surfboards under them for local talents such as Matt Archbold, Dino Andino, and Christian Fletcher. These collaborations had a major influence on his career.

Timmy Patterson’s consistent sense of creativity, innovation, and determination push the craft forward. His willingness to work overnight, from start to finish on a surfboard, sets him apart from the rest.

Item Special Note

Kindly note, that packing, shipping, and handling are not included - winning bidders are responsible for pick up and/or shipment of their board, including costs to package/ship. Boards can be picked up at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel or the purchaser can arrange for shipping. If shipped, we often work with a local UPS in Dana Point as the carrier. They have years of experience packaging/shipping our surfboards and do a wonderful job. Before you bid, you may inquire with our UPS Partner at (949) 248-9150 ext.0 to get a quote of how much shipping to your address will cost, as price varies due to location. If you arrange shipment with our UPS partner, we will handle the pick-up arrangement with them but will need to know your shipping address and phone number. They will be in touch directly to confirm packaging/shipment costs. The hotel does not manage this. If you prefer to use a different carrier, you will need to arrange pick up directly with the carrier from the resort and next steps.

Boards will be available for pick-up and shipping beginning Monday, January 8, 2024. Boards must be picked up no later than Wednesday, January 31, 2024.
