“Love these pants! Great fit and constructibility. Tanner is a master of his class. I have always appreciated buying products that I know somebody put time into making for me. Tanner was great to communicate with and made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. Best part — I get tons of compliments! I recommend Tanner California to anyone and everyone. Thanks again, Tanner!”

“Tanner is an incredible all-around craftsman. It’s rare to find someone so creative and dialed in to making great boards and clothing. A true local legend in the making, creating his own stuff with his unique style. The board he shaped me works in all types of waves and conditions, and his board shorts are super comfortable and durable. I’ll be ordering more boards and shorts, and I highly recommend supporting Tanner.”

“I surf in the board shorts daily and where the pants after so comfortable. I wear this brand because it’s real and Tanner is an OG. The Tanner California label represents real authenticity in a sea of wanna be brands. I also appreciate that it’s made in Costa Mesa.”

“I’ve never had trunks fit so well. It’s like having your own tailor, with a fit that’s perfect every time. I’m a minimalist and only keep a couple of great pieces I can wear regularly, and these trunks are part of my rotation. Thanks Tanner!”

“It’s been so many great times with Tanner I don’t know what my first Tanner surfboards was. But knowing his skill in the shaping room and on the water 💦 makes it easy … Tanner is so easy for me to say what about ?? Should we pull the rails in to achieve this or that 😂 Tanner learn from many shaper but Mike Marshall stands out … Marshall was like EF Hutton when he spoken the entire lot would lean in and listen to every word and Tanner is much like Mike 🐬😁 we have surfed some great waves through the years and Tanner so easily hands the creation of clothing design,surfing ,Shaping , Jujutsu and raising four Daughters and he will hit the surf 🏄‍♂️ catch 20 waves and gets moving with the new day and when I need help he finds time to do just that ……oh he built me one hell of a MR model easy Rider I’ve been riding Tanner surfboards for a very long time …… He can shape …..build trunks get a black belt in jujutsu raise four amazing Daughters and find time to help me if can’t figure something out or accomplish a task and he’s one amazing Chef’s as well he’s built me many MR models and are all great easy riders …..

“Tanner first made me a 7’6 Tracker twin to take the El Salvador that absolutely worked insane, it’s become such a go to, all around, board that works from 2ft to 8ft+ with ease. Surfing blackies all the time lead to the next board a 9’10 3/4 Baby with a beautiful 3/4” redwood stringer and gloss polish, that board trims and glides with ease and soul. Rounding out this quiver was an 8’8 Scout for those days that I wanted a little more length than the Tracker but not a full on log, man what a fun board that again works in so many different conditions. Most recently I picked up a Dash in 9’10 that’s part of the Thomas Campbell collaboration Tanner did. My favorite surfing movie of all time is Thomas’s film “Sprout” and to have a board covered in that style of artwork was incredible.”

“Some might call me biased because I'm Tanner's little brother, but I mean it when I say he shapes the best boards I've ever ridden, and probably the best in the world. I keep only two boards in my quiver: a log for my daily driver and a mid-length for when the waves get big. I've never needed more than that. Every board I've gotten from Tanner gives me the surfing experience I crave, and the longer I ride one, the deeper I bond with it. I usually only get a new board once I've ridden mine into the ground and it's basically unridable. That takes me three to six years, partly because I'm still learning how to take care of my boards properly. I can't recommend Tanner's boards enough. Invest in one. Invest in yourself.”

“Tanner is the type of shaper that people should be buying boards from. Timeless shapes that work. Extremely well built, beautiful and hyper functional. Baby is easily my favorite longboard shape that I have ever riden. Has speed for days, turns easier than you could imagine and has the foam to paddle literally ALL day. It’s a true dream bae.”

“Tanner makes the best longboards, I've had 5 (6?) and I continue to come back. Truly one of Orange County and the state of California's greatest shapers, all of his boards work well. He is meticulous in details and giving you what you want, and if when I want a new longboard that goes good in beachbreak conditions he is my go to.”
