Arthur Querios aka “Coyote” started surfing and shaping at the age of 14
 in Rio de Janeiro. His dedication for
 surfing both in and out of the water,
 led him into a 16 year span of shaping
 boards for Brazilian companies K&K and
 Rico Surfboards.

 In 1985 Coyote left the beaches of 
 South America and relocated to Venice
 California where he began to  shape
 boards and surf in the Pacific. It was
 not long after his arrival that he began
 work at Con Surfboards. After more
 than 2 years at Con, Coyote moved to
 Natural Progression where he labored
 and honed his skills yet again for the 
 next 7 years. As a Venice resident he  
 surfed,shaped, sanded and worked
 with countless Venice locals such as
 Skip Engbloom, Ray Flores, Jay
 Adams,the McClure brothers, Nathan
 Pratt and Christain Hasoi.

 In 1994 with more than 20 years
 experience and literally 100’s of boards
 under his belt Arthur opened  Coyote
 Surfboards in Venice.

Presently Coyote is the in House Shaper at Board Gallery where his boards are featured. He works with Russell in Newport Beach, where Coyote Surfboards are shaped.

Coyote is a Jiujitsu brown belt under his long time surfer/bro Rickson Gracie.  During the winter Coyote lives and manages the Board Gallery Team Hostile in the North Shore.
