Jason Bennett: From Pro Surfer to Pioneering Shaper

Jason Bennett's journey began riding waves professionally at the young age of 18. But amidst the thrill of competition, a new passion ignited within him: shaping his own surfboards. Inspired by the artistry and craftsmanship of local legends like Wally Puha, Scott Raisbeck, David Barr, and Michael Baron, Jason embarked on a path that would forever change his life.

Under the tutelage of these Oceanside shaping icons, Jason honed his skills and nurtured his creative vision. In 2002, this passion culminated in the birth of Chemistry Surfboards, a company dedicated to crafting custom, hand-shaped surfboards that pushed the boundaries of design and performance.

Today, Jason leads Chemistry Surfboards alongside his co-owner and friend, Willie Smith. Together, they forge a progressive path in the surfboard industry, fueled by a shared commitment to innovation, originality, and personalized service. Their surfboards are not simply tools for riding waves; they are expressions of individuality, testaments to the artistry of shaping, and catalysts for unforgettable surfing experiences.

Jason's story is one of passion, dedication, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. It's a story woven into the fabric of every Chemistry surfboard, a testament to the transformative power of following one's dreams and shaping a brighter future, one wave at a time.
