Contract Glassing for Shapers in San Diego
Shape it — we’ll glass it. SURF619 is a veteran-owned glass shop in San Diego doing contract glassing for independent shapers, small labels and board builders across San Diego County and South Orange County. Hand us a shaped blank and get it back glassed, sanded and ready to ride.
Free pickup and drop-off in San Diego and San Clemente. Everywhere else in San Diego County and South OC, ask about the travel fee.
Why shapers send us their blanks
- Priced under shop average. We’re a new shop and we want the reps, so we built the list below to come in under what San Diego glass houses typically charge. Compare it against anyone in Southern California.
- A firm date before we touch your blank. You get a committed turnaround up front, not a “we’ll see.” We don’t take on more boards than we can finish on time.
- Free pickup and drop-off in San Diego and San Clemente — your blanks never ride on your roof.
- Contest-grade materials, poly or epoxy, clear or color.
- Veteran-owned, surf-crew-run.
