RITRATTI DI SURF | ALESSANDRO PONZANELLI & MATT CALVANI | PART 1

RITRATTI DI SURF | ALESSANDRO PONZANELLI & MATT CALVANI _ PART 1 from BLOCK10 on Vimeo.
One dances on his surfboard like the best Californians but was born and raised in Tuscany, on the Versilia shores. The other took over an iconic surf brand of the 60s and successfully brought it into the 21st century.
The Onde Nostre team is proud to present Alessandro Ponzanelli - arguably one of the best italian longboarders - and Matt Calvani owner and shaper of Bing Surfboards - and to relate the story of their encounter.
Here's part one.

RITRATTI DI SURF is a series of short videos about surfers, shapers, artists and other characters somehow connected to Onde Nostre and the italian surf culture.

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…

A Film i shot about Dustin Kott,
the Californian bike builder who makes custom British style Cafe racers out of old japanese bikes.
I met Dustin in LA on a Harley-Davidson shoot, and was intrigued
how a classic American who looks like he should be building
Choppers, was passionate about little old Brit bikes,
and was using cheap 70s Japanese bikes to make lovely custom Cafes.
