Shane Herring - InnerViews

Shane Herring - InnerViews from www.KORDUROY.tv on Vimeo.
We stumbled upon Shane doing ding repair in Bylesy's used surfboard shop outside Byron Bay. After defeating Kelly Slater at the Coke Classic at Narrabeen in 1992, Shane Herring was proclaimed the greatest Australian surfer since Michael Peterson. But cover shots, a six-figure salary and endless parties eventually undid the focus and determination of this rising star. In a post Andy Irons world, Shane's story serves as a cautionary tale for up-and-coming surfers regarding the dangerous effects fame and money can have on fragile young egos. Over a cigarette and bottle of wine, Shane shares some of his struggles and life lessons in this episode of Korduroy's InnerViews.

Ellis x Deus | Bikes x Boards by Matt Chojnacki

I felt a little uneasy when Deus poked their head into the surf industry a few years back...

It felt like it was about the money and branding, but what about the boards they were making?

Were they just retro rip offs to capitalise on a baby boomer market? But with Ellis Ericson & Thomas Bexon tapping into their Bali range of boards,i think it is just what they need: core surfers who can shape and surf.I am in no way associated to the company, but surprisingly to some people who think im a surf cynic, i do enjoy their enthusiasm and can understand their inspiration.

Check them out at Deus Bali.

Evening Star by Ryan Lovelace

Gregg Tally [of White Owl Surfboards] asked me to build him an Evening Star while I inhabit his shop/during the sorting of my new space...so I did:

8'6" x 22" x 3"

I've been really into circular deck patches lately, especially on a few boards in particular...This one didn't quite dodge my obsession...

The triple stringer blank is from US Blanks, which came out oh-so-sweet. And I couldn't help but polish her all the way out after getting all burnt-tangerine with the resin...I'm proud to have made this for Gregg. It's been a humbling experience being able to fling my resin and foam dust around his shop and I'm more than happy to have shaped and glassed this board start to finish, so here's to 100% hand built products:
