Christian Wach
As the founder and creative director at Canvas Surfboards, Christian Wach has a clear vision for the brand. At the age of 18 years old, Christian conceptualized Canvas in his parent’s garage and has since expanded the brand internationally. The idea behind the name was to bring creative freedom to surfboards. Christian saw the potential in taking boring white surfboards and bringing life to them with abstract resin tints, art, and simplicity. Along with attractive color ways, every Canvas model has been thoroughly tested in our amazing southern California surf. Every Canvas Surfboard is completed with attention to detail bridging the gap between function and aesthetics.
