New Life for a Classic '62 Gordie

A couple of years ago my brother Frank brought this early 60's Gordie to my house. He had found it somewhere in the community and purchased it for a nominal price. Frank left it with me and asked if I would do some ding repair whenever I had the chance. I immediately admired the board for the memories it evoked of my early surfing career and for its classic style, including the wide balsa and redwood T-band stringer, the curved outboard stringers and the custom fin that so identified the elements of surfboard design that were emerging during the first few years of the 60's. The second board of my young surfing career in 1963 was a Gordie, a 3-stringer with sky blue resin panels on the outside rails and the same template fin, with a different glue-up pattern, as on this board. I wanted it!

Fortunately, Frank was not similarly attached to the board as I. I traded Frank a Simm-21 as I recall for the Gordie and it became mine. This board was very straight and solid with no delam issues and the stringers and logo were in superb condition. It was a great candidate for a like-new restoration.
So that is what I did, including Gordies original fin. Check it out.

STOKED AND BROKE: SOUTH AMERICA

Last year, Bernardo Sodré and Ze Tepedino were approached by a Brazilian TV channel to make a show inspired by Cyrus' movie Stoked and Broke. The assignment was to travel from Rio de Janiero, Brazil, to Montevideo, Uruguay, where they would set up their rickshaws and jump on their skateboards to cross the entire country of Uruguay and return to their home in the south of Brazil.

They packed up their short boards, longboards, and alaias and gathered up plans to reconstruct the rickshaw from Uruguay.

Shortly after getting on the road, the duo took a quick skate stop outside of Montevideo. Not long into the session, Tepedino fell in a bowl and broke his wrist, so Stoked and Broke became Stoked and Broken. It was a set back, for sure, since surfing was now out of the question for him, but his hand was free enough to keep hold of his rickshaw and his legs were still plenty strong enough to skate.
They ventured onward.

Just like Cy and Ryan's tour de broke down the coast of California, Sodré and Tepedino surfed great waves (well, Sodré, anyway), met interesting people and shared stoke at every turn.
Their trip culminated in a series of 10 videos, and you can see the first few here: http://canaloff.globo.com/programas/custo-zero/videos/index.html.
Even if you don't speak Portuguese, the videos are fun to watch because the music is excellent, the course of their trip is clear, and the scenery is beautiful.

Scroll down for some stills from their trip and be sure to let us know about all of your Stoked and Broke adventures!

Foam and Wood

New Zealand shaper Roger Hall is a master at whatever he puts his hand to. 

His current passion is revisiting the Hot Curl model and ramping it up with more than a modern twist.

These boards are finless and the wood adds the weight to help hold the tail into the power of the wave.

As you can see it is a pretty solid lump of wood , but not just one piece. Roger loves to laminate and mix up the timbers he uses.

Not only is it very hard to work with wood and foam together due to the differences in densities but he has so many different timbers that vary as well to make it even harder. And this is all hanging off the end of the foam. A true test of anyones skills. But as you can see not only is it a great design with the flowing lines of the board enhanced by the beautiful timber.

Hands of the master.

Form and function

Who do you know that would cut and glue up 7 stringers and foam like this. I have seen him do 13.

Great shots from Mike C.

Lets hope Roger can make it to the Wooden board day this year.

Almost Cut My Hair | Official

Almost Cut My Hair - Official from Ryan Lovelace on Vimeo.
PRE-ORDER YOUR COPY AT - http://rlovelace.bigcartel.com -

Almost Cut My Hair is a zero budget surf film containing approximately 96% pure surfing coupled with an original sound track worth listening to...The only catch is that everyone involved is riding a surfboard that I built. If you can get past that last bit, I think you'll get a pretty killer show.

What I've attempted to create is my ultimate surf movie; one that I want to watch over and over and over. One that reignites a culture in surfing based on fun, experimentation, hand-built surfboards and an stripped down, open minded approach. Santa Barbara breeds a unique type of surf existence; one soaked in individuality, innovation and the ever important ideal of quality over quantity.

The film features an extremely diverse quiver of contemporary surfboards from single-fin mid lengths to high performance fish variations, 5' nuggets all the way to the finless freedom of the RabbitsFoot experiment.

Containing the imagery, musical and/or surfical talents of: Travers Adler, Trevor Gordon, Michael Kew, Landon Smith, Will Adler, Morgan Maassen, Ryan Burch, Troy Mothershead, Ryan Lovelace, Ari Browne, Johnny McCann, Phil Browne, Joseph Horswell, Washmen and the Fisher, Simon Murdoch, Charlie Parr, Connor Lyon and piles more...

On a small island south lies a bay, on this island the green hills roll down from the mountains and out into the sea.
Small boulders feather out from these hills and into the ocean to meet a sand bottom.
For when a deep low arrives it supplies the mountain tops with a dusting of snow and lines to feather and wrap into these boulder lined points.
Here two men explore this land and her waters, a land they call Vandiemans land.

Josh Hall, Gypsy Shaper

Big Sky Wire

By Michele Lockwood

Charismatic San Diego shaper Josh Hall reflects on his gifted relationship with legend shaper Skip Frye, his worldwide gigs as a gypsy-shaper and theories behind the conscious choice to turn down the lure of computers in place of a planer. Josh’s story reconfirms the theory of the extended global surf-family as sustainable support network joined by mutual friends, waves and in this case, wine. Travel combined with surfing makes the world that much smaller.

Sage Joske | Inner-Views

Sage Joske - Inner-Views from www.KORDUROY.tv on Vimeo.
As a shaper, Sage Joske may be following in his father, Paul's, footsteps, but as a designer he's creating his own print. While paying homage to historical craft, Sage refuses to limit himself to conventional board designs. The result is a creative outpour of funky takes on tails and rails, surfboards that explore the waves in a whole new way.

In this episode of Inner-Views presented by VSTR, Sage shows us what possibilities lie in combining the old with the new, and that the process of creating surfboards includes more than the materials at hand.

Devon Howard x Tyler Hatzikian V.2 from erik derman on Vimeo.
Cardiff by the Sea's Devon Howard rides a Tyler Surfboards 9'6" Double Stepdeck, with 10" 4A Greenough single-fin. The outline of this board was inspired by those being ridden by Nat Young, Bob McTavish, Russell Hughes, Peter Drouyn, and Midget Farrelly in the 1967 surf film Hot Generation, by Paul Witzig. The Double Stepdeck is a heavy, traditional longboard shaped by Tyler Hatzikian, glassed with 10 oz. Volan, however the scooped out nose and tail deck areas allow for the board to flex and twist through sections. Watch how the board bends and flexes as Devon steers it in and around sections to maintain optimum trim speed.
