Skip Miller's journey from the surf shores of Long Beach Island, New Jersey, to becoming a revered figure in the world of surfboard shaping is a testament to his dedication and passion for the craft. With over 40 years of experience, Miller has not only ridden some of the best waves globally but has also been instrumental in keeping surfboards in top shape, ensuring optimal performance for surfers.

In 1982, Miller founded Line Drive Surfboards, a brand that has since become synonymous with quality and innovation in surfboard design. His collaboration with Brian Farias at Farias Surf and Sport in Long Beach Island has further solidified his reputation, offering world-class shapes and designs to the surfing community.

While living in the Bahamas, he poured his heart into developing and growing Christian Surfers there, helping to build a strong, faith-based community. Now rooted on Florida’s Treasure Coast, he’s bringing that same passion and purpose to Fort Pierce, shaping boards and helping shape lives through the Christian Surfers movement.
