A tantalizing look at some boards being made locally, you will want to grab one and head for the surf right away!
Bill Shockley, a well respected woodworker in South County, has only recently come to make wooden surf boards, a rare tradition now, a natural extension of his love of surfing and making. He has explored the history of surf boards, from the early Hawaiian knee boards and long boards meant only for royalty, moving all the way up to the more contemporary long board forms. The detail work of corner pieces and inlaid abalone only make the functional art more beautiful.
