"THE" Degree33 Surfboards Blog
Behind the scenes of a new Degree33 shape.
He’s a super quick peek of Bill shaping a new board for us. If we like this one we may introduce it in the fall. We are looking to make an improvement to our board line up and this one we are hoping fits the one-stick-quiver theory. You know, if you could only have one board and you wanted it to surf any condition… Could make a great travel board. We’ll see… it heads to the glass shop tomorrow. We’ll keep ya posted. Oh yeah, you can tell by the videos that we are filming the build of this one. Can’t wait to see the video when they are done.

“30 Day Ride It Surfboard Guarantee” Leaving Other Shops Panicked They’ll Lose Business
We had a guy come and buy a board from us the other day and he told us an interesting but sad story.
He had just the week before bought a board from another retailer, took the board out, surfed it, and didn’t like the way it rode at all.
