Greetings, Shredderz: how would you like to feel a lot dumber today? Now, I realize this is an unusual proposition, but trust me, in this case, it’s worth the hit to your ego. Because after you listen to Dave Parmenter on David Lee Scales’ Surf Splendor Podcast, you will likely come to the sudden and sickening realization that you actually know very little about how surfboards are built. Well, that was my reaction, at least. The flip side is this podcast is an excellent way to learn about surfboard manufacturing and history from one of the most fascinating shapers on the entire planet. This is actually just the first part of a four part series, and I’m eager to dig into the rest. Parmenter is brilliant and captivating, and even if none of the technical details stick, you’ll probably leave with a strong urge to order one of this beautiful Aleutian Juice shapes. You can listen to the podcast below, but also give some thought to supporting Surf Splendor via a donation, as it is an all-around excellent podcast.
Finally, just for kicks, here’s a photo of some candy coated Aleutian Juice sleds being prepped for some very lucky customers:
