Engineering a Pinnacle of Functional Art

Engineering a Pinnacle of Functional Art

In the Paul Surf design studio, advanced engineering and master craftsmanship converge. Each piece, whether a surfboard, wall-mounted sculpture, or resin-based art form, is the result of a singular vision, executed entirely by hand, by one craftsman in New York City.

In the Paul Surf design studio, advanced engineering and master craftsmanship converge. Each piece, whether a surfboard, wall-mounted sculpture, or resin-based art form, is the result of a singular vision, executed entirely by hand, by one craftsman in New York City.

Founded by artist Paul J. Schmidt, the studio explores the intersection of science, design, and surf culture. Every board and art piece is conceived, engineered, and finished with obsessive precision - embodying the belief that the creation of heirloom quality objects lies in the details.
