Beautiful shapes and other surfboard porn at Surf Designs by Daniel. Daniel has shaped some pretty amazing watercraft, including the 11 foot (!) pintail sweet log pictured here. Wow. Make sure to check out the repair job on a 70s balsa Channin surfboard. Double whammy. It’s like taking a Volvo and turning it back into [...]
Shaping Bay Colors
I was asked the other day why surfboard shaping bays are blue? I remember having this same question when I started working on boards and thought it was a good one to address. Although most bays are a dark blue of some sort, the colors can vary depending upon the individual; I’ve seen green and [...]
How to make a longboard - out wood, starring Greg Noll, Doc Ball, LeRoy Grannis and Lorrin Harrison
Wow. This vid is pretty awesome for those into surfing nostalgia. (And we all are, ain’t we!). Here you’ll see a bunch of old guys (old guys rule blah blah blah) carving, literally, a log out of…a log. They even start the project with a massive chisel. This vid must be from the mid-80s or [...]

The classics never die! Rippin’ on classic surfboard shapes
That old Lost video “5′5″ X 19 1/4” is what got me syked on riding fish model surfboards.
