True Ames Barrett Miller Ace

Barrett Miller is a young Californian surfer and surfboard shaper whose roots trace back to Capistrano Beach, California. He began shaping boards around age 14, driven by the wish to surf equipment that didn’t yet exist. Over time, his talent gained recognition from established figures in the surf world. Barrett has worked under the banner of Lamination Surf Design in San Diego, producing boards for his own label as well as for Joel Tudor Surfboards and THC. His design style is heavily influenced by classic 1970s single-fin forms and traditional log shapes, with inspiration drawn from legendary shapers such as Donald Takayama, Skip Frye, and Dick Brewer. As both surfer and craftsman, Barrett develops and tests his boards in Southern California lineups, refining them for retro-inspired performance in contemporary waves.
