Today, Wave Zone Surf Company houses Wave Zone Skimboards, Hammer Traction Deck Grip and Wave Zone Custom Surfboards. Lots of pivoting along the way and some key principles kept the company strong through good times and bad.
The day it all started… November 1, 1990, Jeff Shinham signed the lease on his first ever Wave Zone facility. 2 weeks of fast paced build out paved the way for a grand opening on November 15th of that year. Now, with 30 years firmly under his belt, Shinham operates one of the largest skimboard companies in the world, the only Surf Traction brand 100% made in the USA, and a custom surfboard shop. It is safe to say, his hands are more than full.just

Introducing the Funky Fish skimboard by Wave Zone. A 2020 new release in keeping with Jeff Shinham’s retro theme during Wave Zone’s 30th year. The board features a swallow tail for a bit more targeted volume than can be found on the Shovel Fish shape of Shinham’s Classic Fish, making it an ideal performer in both small and steep waves.
