Greetings, Shredderz! I’ve spent countless words on this blog talking about the death of the surf industry as we know it. Apparently Quiksilver were too busy making one of the best surf films of the year to pay attention to my lunatic ramblings. While Quik boasts tour standouts Griffin Colapinto and Kanoa Igarashi…

Greetings, Shredderz! A 1968 Bing Surfboards marketing brochure was recently sold on eBay, and it contains some incredible information about the label and the models it offered during this time. Most of this isn’t news, per se, but I thought it’d be cool to share the images online for all of us who…

I wrote up a couple of cool boards that are currently for sale online, and linked to the listings just in case you’ve got an itchy trigger finger and a couple of bucks in the bank. 7’10” Takayama Nuuhiwa Mini Noserider (Virginia…

Greetings, Shredderz! There’s a rad 6’10” Liddle Smoothie model that’s currently up for trade on Craigslist in Honolulu. You can find a link to the listing here.

Greetings, Shredderz! Filmmaker Jack Coleman has another edit up on his YouTube, featuring Steph Gilmore and Coco Ho in Hawaii earlier this year. It’s under two minutes and just might be the fastest way to put a smile on your face this evening. I try not to miss any of Coleman’s edits and…

Greetings, Shredderz! Honestly, there isn’t anything particularly notable about this ad, but I thought it was as good a time as any to pay tribute to Phil Becker’s long and fruitful career. The dude shaped 100K+ surfboards by hand over the years, focused on functional shapes, with little regard for trends. I own…

Greetings, Shredderz! This might be sacrilegious, but I’m not the biggest Miki Dora fan. He’s celebrated for being an anti-hero, but a lot of the stories about him paint a picture of someone who’s probably easier to admire from afar. Regardless of how you feel about Dora, his influence cannot be denied. We’re…
