The Build Team

Five craftsmen. Every board. From design to finish, you'll know exactly who's building yours.

Blake Lundquist

Designer & Founder

Every board starts and ends with Blake. From the initial consultation where he helps customers dial in exactly what they need, to the final design in Shape3D, to quality-checking every board before it leaves the shop — Blake oversees every step of the process. A lifelong surfer, Blake's attention to detail shows in every build — right materials, right dimensions, no corners cut.

Jack Sykes

Lead Shaper & Finisher

Jack is the hands behind every Lundquist shape. He translates Blake's designs from Shape3D into foam with precision that comes from years at the planer. Jack also handles all sanding and polishing — he's the first and last set of hands on every board's physical form. His finishing work is what gives Lundquist boards their signature feel.

Steve Lack

Machine Cut Operator & Factory Manager

Steve runs the CNC machine that cuts blanks to Blake's Shape3D specs, and keeps the entire production line running smoothly. If something needs to happen in the factory, Steve makes it happen. He's the jack of all trades that every operation needs.

Greg Klone

Laminator

Greg handles all fiberglass lamination — the critical process of wrapping each board in layers of fiberglass cloth and resin. Blake's premium glassing schedules (warp cloth, s-cloth, multi-layer builds) require a laminator who doesn't rush and doesn't cut corners. Greg is that guy.
