Looking for Paul Gross

Hello everybody my name is Carlos Restegui from Spain, I am friend of Paul Gross. And I was trying to connect with him and his wonderful wife Gloria. I hope Matt or Spence see this, and send me an e-mail with his phone.

I have 3 boards from Paul Gross. A 9.4 ala Sam longboard, a mayic 7.4 and a 7.2 more pointed hull. Also he shape me a couple of spoons, one Edge spoon and a copy of Velo. Just write here that he is an inspiration for me and everyday I get in the water I remember him. As a shaper for sure for me is the best but as a person… no words just wonderful. I am proud of been with him for a couple of weeks in his house and have the opportunity of see him shaping; and you have to see with how much love and interest he shapes. Never meet a guy like he is. From here, Spain, I want to recognize my deepest admiration and love I feel for you.

All of you who read this message, How lucky you are of having that Shaper in California. Dont waste time, open your eyes and order a board to Paul.

Feliz Navidad a todos

Hello again,

Just after learning how to post. I will like to add a photo of Paul Boards in Santander Spain. I will post more of Paul Boards if interested. Thank you very much.

… please do Charlie !

I also was wondering what happened to Paul, as I posted his fin article a while ago and often refer to what he and George Greenough had to say on that aspect of board design…

I’d like to see those boards you mentioned…

cheers mate !

I don’t think it uploaded or ‘attached’, unfortunately, Charlie…

Excuse me all of you,

 I am working with a Mac and finally I think here are a couple of photos riding a 7.4 Paul Gross here in Santander, Spain.

Nice shots, Carlos. Stoked you got the photo posting sorted !

Do you also have any fairly close up shots of the board, especially the ‘hull’ bottom ?

… thanks !

Hopefully Carlos will post the photos but if not, Paul worked extensively with Greg Liddle and makes “hulls” similar to Gregs. Not sure if Paul is shaping right now…

Hola Carlos. I’m from Santander too. I don’t know if I know you. I used to surf in Somo. Where do you surf?
