McKinnon Shapes & Designs

Specializing in custom surf boards and stand up paddle boards

Private and group surf and stand up p Backing that title up again in 2001.

Rocky McKinnon started McKinnon Shapes & Designs in the spring of 1997 with a simple mission to create unique, versatile, and high performance surfboards for himself and friends. His shaping skills and unique design style are a testament to those shapers that lent their expertise, time, and patience (Mike Minchinton, Mark Martinson, Robert August, Matt Bettis, Poi Dog, Mark Pesce, Jack Sykes, Bart

Demarr, Keola Repoza, Chas Wickwire, and Roger Hinds). Only after a couple years of surfing and shaping Rocky began to compete. “I knew that if people saw me surfing good on my boards that they would want to buy my boards.” Success came early on. In 1999 he won his first amateur title on the talent filled Huntington Beach Surf Series in only his second season. These wins proved to Rocky that he was capable of taking his surfing to the next level. He became a professional surfer in 2002 and by 2003 Rocky was rated in the top ten in the country. These surfing accomplishments opened other doors for him to gain more notoriety for McKinnon Shapes & Designs. Soon to follow were photos and articles in magazines and websites, surf videos, to being featured on Channel 5 Morning News and taking Joe Piscopo surfing for the “The Best Damn Sports Show” on Fox Sports Net. You might have also seen him in a few local car dealership commercials. McKinnon believes that, “Through competition I’ve felt that I have come up with designs that provide the surfer with the highest performance equipment available.” Not to mention having a growing young and talented team constantly R&D-ing and pushing the performance envelope also helps Rocky be versatile with different shapes and sizes of boards. Over time, word has spread and his reputation as an established shaper has grown throughout Huntington Beach and Southern California to Hawaii and Costa Rica. Rocky McKinnon has also procured the license to manufacture Hello Kitty Surfboards. So at this point and time Rocky is looking to boost McKinnon Shapes & Designs to the forefront of the surfboard industry. If you want to take your surfing to the next level, experience the difference a Custom McKinnon Shapes & Designs surfboard can do for your surfing.

Throwing it back 10 years ago when Stand Up Paddle (SUP) surfing design was being pushed to enhance performance.
This particular McKinnon Shapes & Designs SUP surfboard I made was 7'10" x 29 1/2 wide x 4 3/8" thick.
I added the triple wing in the tail to pull in the outline so I can actually surf this board similarly to a shortboard.
Diane Edmonds captured this shot of me emulating a layback snap.
I think I got lucky on this one. 😉

to the Fall of 2008.
Back when I hand shaped this 'Magic Board' that would soon be scanned on a Shape 3D CAD program and become one of my most versatile models to date. The 'Soul Rebel'.
As you can see this McKinnon Shapes & Designs high performance longboard could do it all. It has the versatility to hit the lip, or get perched on the tip.
To this day, the Soul Rebel is my go to, everyday longboard. And is my best seller.
Jump on one and and you'll know what I'm talking about. 😉🤙🏽

The smiles say it all. Love this custom shape for Mason Wise. Simple clean black stripes with a rare White McKinnon logo. And the beautiful American Flag on the bottom was a nice patriotic touch.
Looking forward to seeing this talented young man rip on his new board.
