Welcome to Bruce "Snake" Gabrielson's Surfing School
Featuring both Surfing and SUP Lessons
This is the original Wave Trek Surfboards of Huntington Beach, re-born and well - Snake and his shop are now located in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the East Coast in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland. For lessons we supply everything from boards to wetsuits, plus carry wax, fins, leashes, rashguards, and other related items right at the beach. Stop by and visit during our surf school lessons in Ocean City.
Look for our Surfboard Sign 3 miles south of Chesapeake Beach on Rt 261.
Snake is only making a few Wave Trek boards at this time.
We do product endorsements, repairs of traditional and epoxy boards, SUPs, windsurfers, etc. plus shape and glass custom boards. Due to the many historical items you can see when you visit, our shop in Chesapeake Beach is only open by appointment.
The NSSIA Cffices and surf art gallery are located in the offices above the shop. It's an interesting place to visit while you are here.

Recent custom EPOXY Fish shaped by Snake and click the picture to see the first day of glassing since the 1960s at the shop. This blue and white funshape board was shaped by Dave Soble, a Tatoo Artist
who designed the Snake's Surf School logo and one of the WT logos. He also draws other super surf art works besides
the tatoos.
