Think you might order a custom surfboard? Surf Stronger's Todd Walsh pays a visit to Santa Cruz legend, and master shaper, Ward Coffey and gets the goods on what goes into a custom shape. Music by the Mattson 2 and Ray Barbee.
Cool interview! Nice footage of that secret spot... I've had 9 Ward Coffey boards in all. My current quiver is 5 different Coffey's, and I really love the process of getting boards hand-shaped by Ward! Seriously, they have all been magic, and I've learned a lot about what makes different board designs do what they do. It's always sooo exciting to pick up a new board. I could never shape one!
WELL DONE! I PURCHASED MY FIRST COFFEY SHAPED BOARD IN 1985 OFF THE USED RACK IN THE ARROW SHOP & I ORDERED A NEW ONE 2 WEEKS AGO.....HEY WARD IS MY BOARD DONE YET? OVER THE YEARS HE HAS MADE ME & MY FRIENDS LOTS OF MAGIC BOARDS.THANKS
