Does anyone know if he’s still shaping up in Ventura? I checked his website and it was down.
I had a 9’0" stepdeck that he shaped about 15 years ago and I was thinking of getting another one.
hey where’s john mobley
On my first day in Mr. Honaker’s wood shop class at Mira Costa High School, Mr. Honaker showed the class photos given to him by John Mobley a year after he graduated. John had moved to Hawaii’s North Shore and lived in a tree house he built himself. It looked nicer than any one bedroom apartment I had ever seen. It was furnished with chairs and a wooden bench made from branches off the same Banyan Tree it was built in.
any relation to tom?
Tom got busy with raising a family. He still knocks out a board now and then now his kids are older and in school, he is looking to shape custom orders. Pm me…
two different Mobley's. John had a ski shop in the South Bay ( tree house, N.S.,"fox" etc.) Tom had some clean boards up around the Ventura Keys. This all dates back to late eighties when I was roaming around over there. Hope it helps.
