HAND MADE

HAND MADE from jonathan  may on Vimeo.
A portrait of Mark Rabbidge, a professional longboard surfer through the 80s who shaped many surfboards for champion surfers in the 80s/90s including his wife the 1990 world champ Pam Burridge
Mark lives on the South Coast of NSW, Australia. He has always been connected to the ocean, and is constantly on the pursuit for uncrowded waves. His other passion is cars, and he builds them to suit his unique personality. Whether shaping a surfboard or building a car, the common thread is that they are always one of a kind.

2017 Board Clips 2 of 6 | The Rincon

2017 Board Clips 2 of 6 - The Rincon from McTavish Surfboards on Vimeo.
The Rincon is one of the most popular models slipping out the door of our new Byron headquarters showroom. How come so well appreciated and admired by so many happy wave sliders?

Well, the Rincon satisfies the needs of so many Aussies: An easy paddling, easy wave catching midlength. A board that will handle one-foot dribble all the way to powerful lined-up points at double-overhead. A board you can stuff into the passenger seat, and lock inside your chosen set of wheels. How did the Rincon get born to fill those needs?

Fifty years ago the Shortboard Revolution kicked off in Sydney, Australia. The standard everyday surfboard plunged in length from 9'6 down to 6 feet in two years, globally. A true Phenomenon. That first year, 1967, the shapes revolved heavily around stubby full templates and vee bottoms, as we shapers cautiously tried to maintain paddling volume. But by January of '68, we realised knee paddling was over, and Hawaiian inspired templates with full but pointed noses were far more aesthetic and functional. Hence I spent six wonderful weeks at Rincon in California perfecting the shape, riding an endless long rides from way out on the Indicator all the way through to the beach.

The Rincon shape performed so well that it revolutionised the Californian surfboard industry almost overnight. Old clunky longboards were dumped. Speed and carving were in.

The Rincon today is the act same outline template, the same low rocker, and the same small rounded rails, the same sweet specially designed fin. A true honey from sixty-eight, still sweet and perfect in 2017! - Bob McTavish

Biarritz Belza Classic from RVCA on Vimeo.
The Biarritz Belza Classic, a 16-longboarder invitational surf event, took place September 24 at the famous iconic surf location of la Cote des Baques, Biarritz, in France.

With former WSL World No. 2 Antoine Delpero (Bidart, FRA) clinching the very 1st edition of what shall become an annual long boarding happening, there was no shortage of performance during a full day of action blessed with perfect weather and pristine wave conditions. With both male and female competitors gathering in a laid-back authentic moment, it is with great pride that RVCA helped put the inaugural edition up, with a promising future of many more to come.

Check out video recap’ and photography from a day at the beach, in the Indian summer vibe of Biarritz here: https://www.rvca.com/b/post/biarritz-belza-classic-1

One California Winter Day | Devon Howard

One California Winter Day -- Devon Howard from Devon Howard on Vimeo.
This edit by Erik Derman was seen on Surfline a few years ago but I've been told no one can find it so we are reposting it here. Why the hood? Well for one, it was freezing water temps. For two, this Patagonia R2 has the benefits of a lightweight 3/2 but the warmth of a 4/3 because of the integrated hood. It's my favorite suit ever. Warmer core temp helps keep these old bones lubed up, and the suit is light enough to feel spunky and spy on the water. Ha! Enjoy.

A Frequency of Tranquility

A Frequency of Tranquility from EZEKIEL on Vimeo.
This winter, three of the Ezekiel Surf Club members - Nick Maimone, Travis Harder, and Kyle Kennelly - took a break from the rapid velocity of life in the city and took to the countryside in search of serenity, surf, and speculation. Sometimes it can be difficult to hear yourself think in a metropolis, these gentlemen broke away from the grind in search of some headspace. This short by Michael Cukr documents their vacation. An inward self-discovery through the medium of wave riding, time spent trotting along rolling hills in search of silence and the organic sounds of the earth washing over.

Deflow Fins

Awesome post about the new Deflow Fins from my good friend Ignacio "Chuk" Solis!

Diario de un Churfer - Los nuevos modelos de Deflow Fins ya están disponibles. Se han currado unas colaboraciones muy interesantes, nada más y nada menos que con Margaux Arramon-Tucoo, Clovis Donizetti y James Parry. Cada uno ha puesto un poco de lo que le gusta y les han salido unas quillas con una pinta extraordinaria. Ha sido un trabajo largo, probando cosas y haciendo cambios sutiles en las formas. Diseñadas aquí, hechas en California con una calidad increíble.
Muy recomendables…

The new models are now available DEFLOW Fins. Carefully worked have some very interesting collaborations, nothing more and nothing less than Margaux Arramon-tucoo, Clovis Donizetti and James Parry. Each has a little of what you like and have left some keels with an extraordinary painting. It has been a long job, trying things and making subtle changes in the forms. Designed here (Spain), made in California with amazing quality.

Highly recommended ...

Deus Nine Foot & Single

Deus Nine Foot & Single from Arturo Dedace III on Vimeo.
The Nine Foot & Single Men's Invitational was the highlight of the event held by Deus Ex Machina in Bali last May 28, 2016.

With a solid swell pumping in Bali, the Pererenan Right in Canggu gave the earlier rounds a wild start. Then, just before the semi-finals started, the conditions cleared up and offered perfect combination of tough but fun waves - huge and clean right handers with a variety of sections for the participants to show off their skills:
a solid drop, a nice barreling section, steep walls for nose riding, and a hackable section at the inside for a strong finish.

Jared Mell, Josh Constable, Jye Byrnes, and Harrison Roach charged the finals. All of them surfed using their self-shaped logs which were all as beautiful and elegant as their surfing.

This video also features surfing by Deni Blackboys, Yuta Sezuta, and others.

Документальный фильм об истории создания досок для сёрфинга и сёрфере Джое.

"Первая доска, которую я сделал была доска фиш 6'2 фута красного цвета. Я думал что она идеальная до того момента, когда я попробовал прокатиться на ней, спустя 5 минут пребывания в воде моя доска набрала лишних 10 кг, швы были не герметичны и она впитала воду как губка, после этого я начал изучать и совершенствовать свое мастерство шейпера."

A documentary about the history of surfboards and surfer Joy..

"My first board was red fish 6'2 ft. I thought it was ideal until I tried using it. After being in the water for 5 minutes my board gained 10 extra kgs , joints were not airtight and it absorbed the water like a sponge. After that I started studying and developing my skills of a shaper."

The Stories We Wear: Tom Doidge-Harrison

Out on the west coast of Ireland, Patagonia Surf Ambassador Tom Doidge-Harrison spends his time chasing waves and honing his craft shaping surfboards. “You don’t need all this stuff,” says Tom as he talks about the jacket he’s shaped five hundred boards in, “you just need one that works properly and try to make it last as long as you can.” Our clothes not only serve us with warmth and protection, they carry our stories — surfboard foam shavings and all. That’s what makes them worth hanging onto, repairing and using as long as possible; a virtue that comes naturally to Tom.

HOT PLASTIC EVOLUTION

HOT PLASTIC EVOLUTION. from CJ Nelson on Vimeo.
I have been using this as my inspiration reel for a couple years now. When i first got my Australian Slasher made by Ian Chisholm, i looked everywhere for clips of people riding similar designs so i could sort out the origional intent behind this style board. Aside from all the modern footage of Al Knost and Dane Peterson and the obvious others who rip on Involvement style logs, its nice to dig into the history books to see Involvement logging in its heyday with the masters behind the wheel. -cj
