Jeff “Doc” Lausch

 
Doc got his nickname from an original Huntington Beach California punk rocker in 1980. "Rex Collision" loved to give the punk nick names and Jeff was the recipient of "Doc Mad" because of the dust mask he'd wear that looked somewhat like a doctor's mask, as Jeff would emerge from the shaping room with his latest creation to the chorus of "There's Doctor Mad". Jeff made the mistake of complaining about the "Doc Mad" nick name, and well, the rest is history.

“Doc” started in a garage factory where he built Freedom Surfboards. In 1984 he got his first real factory and the Freedom Surfboards name just didn't seem to fit any more. He was "Doc" to everyone but his Mom and the cops so it was natural to name his surfboard company Surf Prescriptions by Jeff "Doc" Lausch.

To date he has been shaping boards for over 25 years. During this time he has focused mostly on high performance boards because, “It’s what keeps me excited about the sport and what I’m most comfortable with. I’ve been shaping since 1980 and still love it. It’s the best job in the world. Nothing is better than giving.”

When asked about the state of the industry and designs currently in the water he stated, “You, as a surfer, have more options than any surfer has ever had in the history of the sport! We at Surf Prescriptions are stoked to be on the forefront of new design technology that will ultimately bring your surfing experience to a whole new level. Surf Prescriptions is dedicated to offering the right design to all the fortunate souls who participate in the incredible experience of surfing!”
