About
Lovemachine Surfboards is Ryan Lovelace's California-based label — known for distinctive outlines, experimental templates, and a transparent take on how boards are designed and built.
Technology achieves some things very well, and removes too much of the human element of others. In the context of surfing and Lovemachine, the replication of specific surfboards and the ability to re-make them with reliability is a chosen focal point — a way to use technology in service of surf culture and tradition.
Hand shaping means creative freedom and the chance to express years of experience in a board for one person; using modern tools to replicate select favorites lets Lovemachine recreate those designs under one umbrella, worldwide.
The quiver is built around meaningful variation: what works on an 8'6 is not always what works on a 6'6, even under the same model name — so outlines, rocker, thickness, and rails can shift by size with intent rather than blind scaling.
500 Maple St, Ste 5, Carpinteria — with roots across the USA, Australia, Europe, and Japan through regional Lovemachine operations.
