9'6 Trimulux from Bing


Picking up a custom 9'6 Trimulux from Bing Surfboards, May 2012 from robin york on Vimeo.
This video tells the story of CA based surfer Robin York, from Munich, Germany ordering his first custom single fin from Bing Surfboards, a legendary CA shaping label. The video offers a short interview with Matt Calvani, the Head Shaper at Bing Surfboards, and a look into Matt's shaping bay as he talks through the board's design. Notice the nod to Robin's Bavarian roots in the detailed Bavarian flag airbrush on the underside of the deck!
The film is shot and edited by Kay Madsen, a German surfer, cinematographer and editor also based in LA.

Thanks so much, Kay Madsen, for all the help in filming and editing this short portrait. You're a hero! And a huge thanks to Margaret Yao Calvani, General Manager at Bing Surfboards for inviting us down, to Kyle Chambers for his awesome photos and of course, to Matt Calvani for the incredible board you made me!

Yuta Sezutsu | InnerViews by Korduroy Tv


Yuta Sezutsu - InnerViews from www.KORDUROY.tv on Vimeo.
Not many people are aware of the lasting devastation and precarious state of Japan's Fukashima Nuclear Plant because the country's officials have been tight-lipped since last year's devastating tsunami. Japanese surfers are often left wondering if the act of surfing is causing them to irreversible harm.

Residing in the surf town Kamakura, Japan near Tokyo, Yuta Sezutsu is perhaps Japan's best longboarder for his age. Quietly sliding down points and reefs around the world, Yuta has made a name for himself in the international longboard community and possesses one the most refined longboard styles we've ever seen. In this episode of Inner-Views presented by VSTR, Yuta talks to us about living with radiation and the changing state of Japanese surf culture.

The Bay


The Bay from Andrew Gough on Vimeo.
Matt Chojnacki

www.chonoski.blogspot.com

The Waxhead made the journey from his residing home in Sydney to spend some time designing a few new surfboards with Bob Mctavish. The board in question here is a new creation which borrows its template off one of Bobs personal boards from 1966.

Slightly longer and sleeker at 9'5 x 22 1/2" with less hip than the typical involvement style boards, it suited the hollow waist high peelers that The Pass had to offer.

About JUAN GIRIBER

For the teaser we picked Juan Giriber, whom we met in Spring 2012. His age is not exactly known, but way over 70 he is still stoked about surfing as much as then when he and some friends saw the first pictures of a guy riding a wave in the 1960s. Being one of the first surfers in Spain then, he not only discovered many surfable beaches which are now well known to the surfing community - he also grew famous in Spain to supposedly be the inventor of "el invento" (in English: the invention), in the rest of the world simply called "the leash".

30 days without surfing is a short film about crafting, love, and the absolute.

It may feature dramatic dialogues, reckless mind-blowing surfing and men handling tools.

Depth of Speed | Something From Nothing


Depth of Speed: Something From Nothing from Josh Clason on Vimeo.
I had the opportunity to swing by TBC Hot Rods and Bikes in Fayetteville, NC and check out the shop. Every month the guys at the shop pool their funds together to bring in a band, food, and drinks for "Garage Night". It is something that really gives back to the automotive community in Fayetteville which is what it is all about. Tim Bradham is one of the nicest people you will meet and is a master fabricator. He creates a lot of things out of raw materials and it is amazing to see something start from nothing.

RIP Donald Takayama






Photo: Glaser


Donald Takayama earlier this year, still as enthusiastic as ever to talk surfboard design with Devon Howard.


Surfer Magazine - "According to early reports, lifelong shaping icon Donald Takayama passed away due to heart attack on October 22, 2012. The Hawaiian goofyfooter showed incredible talent for both riding waves and making surfboards at a young age, and moved from Waikiki to Venice Beach at just 12 years old to make boards under the Velzy-Jacobs label. Since his beginnings behind the planer, he has shaped longboards for some of the most iconic surfers of all time, from Miki Dora to Joel Tudor. Takayama was responsible for some of the greatest innovations in longboard design, and will be missed as one of surfing’s most cherished icons."

9' 6 Jim Phillips Small Wave Terrorist



9'6 Jim Phillips Small Wave Terrorist .

Yet another stunner from Jim in and out of the water - this could be defined as THE summer board! Sky blue tint and sweet stringer work, red HD foam and redwood stringer T band.
Wave count and stability perfected. This full figured noserider (standard dimensions based around a nose of 20.5”, mid of 24.5” and tail of 16.5”) finds its home in waves about shoulder high and under. The board features a long soft blended concave for lift, to a slight belly mid with a bit of roll/vee at the fin helping this board connect. The rocker is a tad lifted in the nose for clean wave entry with flat rocker out the tail which aids in drive and speed. The rails are shaped as forgiving 50/50, but the small side of the egg for hold - no catch rails. As you can see in the photo it all adds up to one finely executed plan shape - no big ears or trash can lid noses here. Long summer days and sweet rolling waves…

Dan Malloy and Dane Reynolds Board Swap



Ride shotgun with Dan Malloy and Dane Reynolds as they cruise from their Ventura homes to Emma Wood State Beach for a quiver swap. This insider look at their modes of surfing comes to a head as they trade—and ride—everything from homemade hunks to foiled Fryes. TSJ party members know full-well Malloy's open-minded approach, via articles like "Mar y Tierra" (TSJ 16.4) and "The Present" (TSJ 18.2).
