DiY bike rack via Korduroy!

For those who travel around town by bicycle, they know riding with a surfboard under the arm can be cumbersome and awkward. In this episode of Surf Sufficient, our friend Travis Newhouse helps make that bike commute to the beach much sweeter.


SHRED TALKS #1 from SHAPER STUDIO

"SHAPER STUDIOS is the world’s first DIY surfboard workshop and retail surf shop. Emerging from San Diego’s progressive surf culture, Shaper Studios is a tribute to the original California surf shop. The first surf shops were a place were surfboards were made and a clubhouse for the local surfers"

Here are some more cool vids from their blog...

This is a short documentary about Brent Ferris and his life as a Craftsman. Brent is the owner of Good Times Barbershop in Imperial Beach, California, a small coastal town on the US-Mexico border, as well as a surfboard shaper and avid surfer. This is the first of many short documentaries under the title, "The Craftsman Project" which will give a glimpse into the lives of people who make a living working with their hands. A huge thanks to Good Times Barbershop and the guys who took the time out of their lives to come out and be a part of the shoot.
