Who’s building your board?
How much do you really know about your shaper?
We may all take for granted what we have from time to time. What if you you had a horrific accident and everything you were familiar with was lost, had to be relearned, difficult? Would you give up? Or would you just find a way around it and move on?
Turns out not that many people know that Stretch broke his neck, is partially paralyzed, had to learn to reshape left handed. He’s still at it. True board builders shape, glass, sand and know every intricacy of how a board will work and why. Stretch shapes every board and he enjoys putting his hands on each one. He hasn’t been able to seriously surf since 1988. Building the best boards he can allows him to continue that feeling of stoke. He surfs through everyone who rides his boards.
