Really good wave boards
- Thread starter santacruzin
- Start date
I've got a 6'4" Shelter bonzer that rarely sees action but works when I need it. Also reminds me of how wide todays boards are.
Owl Chapman(Kalani's uncle?), Steve Morgan, Jim Yarborough, someone at Hawaii Surf Factory, and I am sure others.
Steve Morgan shapes for HIC too. He does longboars, mids, fishes, eggs. Not so much hpsb. Real hand shapes, with a planer and all.
i see his kid in the water from time to time. always on one of his boards. nice clean shapes
Would love one of those, but I'd have to get glass-ons which would't be great for traveling, and I doubt the bort would get wet locally any more than my Ghost, which isn't often. I had the toe side OG FCS plug pop through the deck on at least eight borts back in the day. Never getting a bort with them again.
Dale Wilson knows how to make those boards. No plug issues.
back in the 1990s peter mccabe used to run that spray on his indo-focussed boards.You mean like these?
not sure if that was an influence for Dale.
there were plenty in the water when it got to a good size in newcastle around the 1990s.
Peter was/is very underrated globally as a shaper but served his local area exceptionally.
saw his van the other day around home - very cool, and wish him all the best in what i assume is semi-retirement.
Underrated as a surfer too, I reckon. Arguably better than Lopez at G-Land.
I had some beautiful step-ups from Peter McCabe.
Cold called him one day and ordered customs.
He made them cobalt blue- wish I still had them.
Snapped them surfing the Womb in WA.
You don't see much footy of it- it's a hectic wave.
This is it.
