Ryan Lovelace started shaping boards at 19 with foam from Home Depot and no mentor. Today he's one of the most respected hand shapers in the world, known for his modern takes on classic designs, iconic pressed flower inlays, and his production line Lovemachine. In 2024 Dave Rastovich picked his board over every other shaper in Stab Magazine's Electric Acid Surfboard Test. Find Ryan Lovelace boards on Reswell.
