i’m 44 (16 mentally) been surfing for 32 years, shaping for 10. live in huntington bch. bill paying job is a project coordinator/inspector in seal bch. stress relieving job is making boards. up to #1231 and counting. surf anywhere i can. (but not as much as i want to) hope to make it as a big time board maker so i can go to all the exotic destinations when i want! married with the coolest 9 year old guy who is already starting to carve it up!! used to ride for rainbow bridge (herb spitzer) and know all about him!!! i can give him credit for getting me interested in shaping even though it took a while for me to get going. McCabe Surfboards TRY ONE!!!
Italian, 36, moved to San Diego a year ago, with my wife and newborn kid.
Started surfing as much as I can (work and wife permitting), and having a lot of fun.
Trained as an architect, but working in Product design for about 10 years, I always wanted to “make my own toys”, but I was riding skateboards and snowboards before, too hard to make one-offs.
Now I can (make my own toys), I’ve been avidly reading anything I could on this forum, and I’m ready to start shaping.
too bad I don’t have a garage, now I’m talking a friend into this.
If you’re curious about my past, you can find some of my work here
but don’t email me from there, I hardly read that email anymore.
you ever surf the ship waves in the gavelston harbour. i saw it in the step into liquid video and thought that would be a good way to spend a day. actually i am watching it right now.
Actually I grew up with one of those guys in the movie, the other is a local surf shop owner. Nah, never did that, requires a boat which I didn’t have. As a kid, the folks with boat access water skiied and me and the other non-pertroleum energy wasters surfed - when there were waves.
yeah it seems like it good be a good time riding waves for a few hours. it something that i would like to do once but i dont think that i will be making my next surf trip to the gavelston ship channel.
