Remember getting your first surfboard? That feeling you got the second your hands felt the shape of the rails and concave of the bottom? Almost as if you could just stare at it for hours as you waited for that first session to happen?
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 surfboard line up and this one we are hoping fits the one-stick-quiver theory.
When you're learning to surf, picking the right surfboard is crucial. I know that in the beginning you can't tell the difference between all the different shapes. You can tell that some are long and some are short. You can tell that some are pointed and some are more round. But that's really as far as most beginners can go and there's nothing wrong with that…
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. When he tried to take it back to them to exchange it they said, "Sorry we cant take back used boards."
Whether you're a longboarder or shortboarder there's some footage in this video that will stoke you out. There's even some great stuff on one of those finless Alaia boards. Super sick stuff. Watch it!
We received a call the other day and it reminded us of why you have to be so careful when purchasing a used board.
This guy had just bought a used board from someone he found on craigslist. He was in a hurry to get it, so he went over to this guys house to pick it up.
