Renaud Cardinal

Renaud Cardinal is a French shaper based in La Rochelle, France. His longstanding passion for craftsmanship dates back to his childhood, and he took a keen interest in surfboard shaping on his many travels as a youngster.

This combination of passion and surfing led him to create UWL Surfboards in 1991 with his brother, Thomas Cardinal. His well-rounded approach to shaping and appreciation for sustainable materials made Renaud a perfect addition to our list of talented shapers.
