Located a block from the ocean, Esteem Surf Co creates SLO CAL Crafted surfboards right in Pismo Beach. Known as a staple in the SLO CAL surf community, Esteem offers everything from surf rentals to surfing lessons. Surfboard shaper working on custom surfboard

Owner and president, Robbie Domingues, got his start in surfboard making by hanging out at a local surf shop in the ’80s. The shop was owned by PJ Wahl who is now one of Esteem’s head shapers. It is important for Esteem to use custom shapers to make the surfboards because it creates a personal experience for the consumer. Esteem offers a unique surfboard-making process by not only letting you talk to the shaper but also creating a board made specifically for your skill level and wave experience. Along with custom surfboards, they also sell apparel, equipment and accessories to make the most out of your SLO CAL surf trip.

We’re all out there doing the same thing, enjoying the surf and our culture.”
