Hand Crafted Surfboards
Shaped by Lou Dog of Oceanside, CA
Aloha & Welcome to Wave Weapon Surfboards.
We are a Christian based surfboard company started in the early 80′s by well known shaper and Big Wave Surfer, Louis David Lytle (Lou Dog).
Lou Dog’s Daughter and team captain for the gals, Christie.
Lou Dog surfed with Dick Brewer Surfboards from the mid 70′s to late 80′s. He howned his shaping skills with the help of his friends and legendary shapers Richard Brewer, Owl Chapman, Steve Morgan and numerous other master shapers of the 60′s & 70′s. Lou Dog was also inspired in Big Waves by the Old North Shore Crew. He was a popular surfer back then, taking on Sunset Beach, Bonzai Pipeline and Wiamea Bay.
By surfing two to three times a day, Lou was able to bring major changes to Brewers smaller board shapes. He was constantly putting in valuable time in the shaping rooms and his hard work payed off as his shapes were being used in all types of conditions, both on the mainland and the islands. He was considered an extreme shaper by incorporating different ideas to push the surfer to new heights. To date, Lou has inspired thousands of surfers to keep pushing their abilities.
In the late 90′s, Lou endured a severe big-rig accident which left him unable to surf for five years, yet with prayer and help form the family, he was able to get back to shaping boards for disabled American’s which has helped to reduce their suffering by 75%.
Lou came up with a plan to show the dedicated men and women who serve our country that there are God fearing people out there who care. He and the “shot callers” at Wave Weapons Surfboards decided to offer brand new boards at a special sale price. The results were explosive! 180 boards were sold and the proceeds were used to place nine new boards into the hands of randomly chosen Marines.
Lou Dog gives all the credit to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Every board that Lou sells or shapes, helps helps more people than profit margin calls for and he also gives ten percent to the Oceanside Calvary Chapel. When numerous local surf shops condemned Wave Weapons for their kindness, Lou Dog just shrugged his shoulders and praised the Lord. Even though the promotion is over, Wave Weapons still gives a fifty percent discount on all in-stock boards to Military men and women. Wave Weapons is the only surfboard company in the industry who offers free consultation, and will beat any price in the surfboard industry.
So give us a call and join one of the best surfing teams around!
Sincerely,
Team Lytle
