As far as I can tell, Shawn Stussy’s work isn’t displayed at Art Basel, or sold by big auction houses with billionaires on speed dial. Every once in a while he’ll shape a bunch of boards and then sell them all at once out of a friend’s backyard in Laguna Beach. I don’t…

I can’t remember the last time I watched — much less enjoyed — a surf edit that kicks off with four or five absolutely crushing wipeouts. But if there’s anyone who has a gift for making pain look fun, it’s Mason Ho. He’s been releasing a series of edits focused on a mysto…

Greetings, Shredderz! Today we’ve got a young Shaun Tomson in an early Astrodeck ad. I believe the ad predates Astrodeck’s classic logo and designs. Here’s another early Astrodeck ad from 1982, featuring none other than Gerry Lopez. By comparison, here’s an Astrodeck ad from 1985, whose font and traction pads are what I…

As the title suggests this isn’t exactly a highlight reel of another Orange County grom angling for a sponsorship, but that’s just fine with me. Personally, I’d say at…

Greetings, Shredderz! Today we’ve got a classic ad that I’ve seen floating around the internet in various places. It’s too bad it’s not a higher quality scan, but oh well, it’s still worth featuring. Here’s a late 60s Gordon & Smith ad featuring two unusual Skip Fry designs: the Baby Gun and the…

For those of you who might have missed it, earlier this year we premiered the first ever original Shred Sledz film, “Here Now: Past & Present.” Filmed and edited by Kyle Buthman and starring Darshan Gooch, “Here Now” featured two boards shaped by Marc Andreini: a vintage “365” model, which is…

Greetings, Shredderz! Here’s an amazing 1990 Local Motion ad featuring Clyde Aikau. I found this pic on eBay. I’m personally not down with dicing up old surf mags to sell individual ads in the hopes of turning a maybe $100 profit, so enjoy this thing for free. I love the swagger that just…

Greetings, Shredderz! Everyone else wants to talk about Elon Musk buying Twitter; I’m just here to share some rad content I’ve seen on my feed over the past month. If you’re looking for a surfboard themed respite from people arguing about billionaires, well, you’ve come to the right place. Keep scrolling for more….
