Innovative shaper Dave Parmenter, from California, was an up and coming pro surfer in the 1980’s. He had ridden Rusty Preisendorfer’s surfboards as a pro which eventually led him to Australia as a shaper under the Rusty label. After having notable shaping success in Australia, Dave moved to Makaha, Hawaii in the 1990’s and created his own surfboard label, Aleutian Juice. In his spare time, Dave Parmenter also contributes surfboard design articles and features to Surfer Magazine and Surfline. Aside from his writing, he has become one of the leading stand up paddle board shapers around though he shapes a wide variety of surf craft including high performance shortboards, retro designs, funboards, beach boy boards, and longboards. 6 Comments »Lance Conragan, on August 20, 2007 @ 4:00 pm |Been surfing 100 to 300 days a year since 1963, after 40 years in Half Moon Bay now living in Oregon - very boredf with thrusters in real surf - would like to order a Dave Parmenter 2+1 - how can that be accomplished? thanks.

Hi,
I grew up in Cayucos with Chris and Dave. I now own my own surf shop in WA and would like to see about getting some of his boards in my shop. I have not had any contact with the Parmenters in over 20 years, but I am sure if they think back they would remember me. We lived 2 houses over from them.
I would like to stay away from China boards if possible, but I am finding that challanging.
If you can put me in contact with Dave or Chris, I would be so greatful.
Thank you for your time and concideration.
