o matter how you slice it, the coolest part of Miami is the sand and surf, and while our waves aren’t exactly killer, Carlos Reyes has locals surfing in style with C-Shapes, his custom surfboard label. As the local surfboard shaper, Reyes is a one-man surfboard factory grinding out boards for the in-the-know beach crowd. “We do have a large surfing community,” he says. “You should see the joy on their faces when we do finally get some surf. The motto ‘Life’s the beach’ applies here, too.” cshapes.com
