Shaper Interview with Sergio Gomez 1:27:57

14 днів тому1:27:57

1:27:57

In this episode I chat with Sergio Gomez from Gomez surfboards. Sergio grew up on the coast of Argentina. The town was rather large, but surfing was considered counterculture and there were only two surf shops. Sergio fell in love with surfing and on one occasion when his board was being repaired, he borrowed his friend's brother's board. The board went amazing! It was like no other board he had ever ridden, and he took up the challenge to find out why? Sergio learnt how to shape, glass and sand surfboards and as a young adult began to travel. He searched for the waves he had seen in the magazines and happily discovered it coincided with local surfboard industries. Many years have passed, and many surfing destinations have been crossed off his list. Sergio is currently residing on the west coast of Victoria and shapes all types of surfboards. During our conversation Sergio talked about various construction types he has explored and his interest in the pursuit of more sustainable materials. Speaking with Sergio, it's clear he is a very creative person and the decision to create a book about surfboard design is less surprising. The result is over 300 pages of a rich photographic gallery with surfboard design presented in an easy way to understand. The book is called ' Shape Shifter' and I would encourage you to grab a copy, you will not be disappointed. I hope you enjoy my chat with Sergio Gomez.

Shaper Interview with Dylan Perese 1:21:08

1:21:08

In this episode I chat with Dylan Perese from DP surfboards and inventor of the soon to be released 'Leashbar'. Dylan caught the bug for shaping in his early teens and instantly knew this was what he wanted to do. A couple of years later he left school to focus on surfboards and never looked back. A member of a thriving surf community south of Sydney as well as an opportunity to work with Graham King was all he needed to establish himself a solid reputation for making great boards. Speaking with Dylan it is clear he is very determined, meticulous and business savvy. I caught up with Dylan after he recently consolidated his glassing factory and showroom to a new space in Bulli. Any praise he receives for the quality of his boards is quickly shared with his team with whom he has great respect. Dylan is also the creator of the soon to be released 'Leashbar'. A new type of leg rope plug that allows the user to attach their leg rope to the board using the rail saver and eliminate the need for a string. I predict this will be a game changer for the surfboard industry. I hope you enjoy my chat with Dylan Perese.

In this episode, I chat with Daniel Hawes from Shapers Collective, New Zealand. Howie and I recently discussed the feedback we received about the difficulties currently facing shapers around the world. Shortly after hearing our chat, Daniel reached out to share a business model he is implementing. An Australian expat living in a town named Mangawhai, tucked right up in the north of New Zealand. After establishing Small Kine Ding Repairs many years ago, it was uncommon for him to come across New Zealand shaped surfboards in his factory. Daniel had crossed paths with many shapers in New Zealand and heard about many more. He explained to me how many of the local shapers are not supported by the surf shop boutiques and instead carve out a living doing custom orders. Daniel was motivated and felt compelled to try and promote local shapers. It wasn't long before he found himself evaluating space in his factory and deciding to build a retail space. The new showroom would be named the Shapers Collective NZ and instead of the traditional surf shop business model, Daniel came up with the idea to charge a one-off fee for a rack space. This fee would subsidize his rent, and the shaper could curate and manage the rack space. His idea quickly expanded to include local manufacturers and owners of fins surfboard wax, board bag and more. Daniel wanted to support as many local New Zealand surf industry businesses as he could. His passion for surfing and pride in locally made is undeniable. There are many twists and turns ahead for Daniel establishing Shapers Collective NZ but we certainly wish him all the best.

In this episode, I chat with Wayne Roach from Roach Approach surfboards. Wayne's story is a classic tale about a boy that fell in love with surfing at a young age and developed a passion for surfboards. Wayne or 'Roachy' as he is more commonly known, was a product of the bustling surf industry in Cronulla during the 70's and 80's. Roachy worked under multiple brands including Jackson, Southern Comfort, and Force 9 before jetting around the world to shape. An avid surfboard designer who played a big part in the creation of the four fin surfboard. During this time Roachy was competing at a high level and would work with some of the great surfers in history. He finally established his own brand - Roach Approach in the 90's. Roachy moved to Torquay in the early 2000's and it was there that he attained one of his greatest desires and win an Australian title. Throughout our conversation Roachy was keen to point out the many people that have contributed to his rich and colourful life. He is still enthusiastic about shaping boards and told me he is travelling to remote Indonesia this year for a surf trip. Please note, I recorded this chat a year ago but unfortunately have been pressed for time. At the time Bennet Foam had recently closed. I hope you enjoy my chat with Wanye Roach!

In this episode, Luke 'Howie' Howarth and I discuss the alluring and sexiest design aspect of a surfboard... Rails. Rails come in all shapes and sizes to best satisfy the shaper's accompanying design ideas. The perfect rail is different for different styles of surfboards. We discuss some of the shaper's rails that we like as well as what makes a bad rail in our opinion. I throw a few different rail designs at Luke to get his ideas as well as give an insight into deck channels or ' love handles' and what I learnt from master craftsman = William 'Stretch' Riedel. We did try to restrict the amount of jargon used when discussing rails but they are very personal and we rely on adjectives to try to paint a picture for listeners.

Shaper Interview with Dan Thomson 1:33:44

1 year тому1:33:44

1:33:44

In this episode we speak with Dan Thomson from Tomo Surfboards. Dan is arguably the most creative surfboard designer of the last 20 years. The art of surfboard shaping and designing was handed down from his father, Mark Thomson. Dan and his father would discuss all aspects of hydrodynamic theory to improve their understanding of real surfboard design. In the mid 2000's Dan moved to America after a chance encounter that led to him riding a selection of 'fish' boards from some of the industry's best. Around the same time Dan was thinking a lot about the 'Golden Rule' or Fibonacci sequence and how it could be applied it to his surfboard designs. It wasn't long before this way of designing boards made complete sense to him and the idea of what surfboards may look like in the future became clear. The result was a series of boards such as the Vanguard, Deathstar and Vader. Dan's creativity over the next 10-15 years was some of the most prolific in surfboard history. If you look at his various model in his range, nearly every board is unique with its own purpose. When Dan teamed up with Firewire the racks in surf shops seemed to change overnight and looked very different with an array of plan shapes, rockers, concaves and channels. I was really excited to speak with Dan as his unique board designs and creativity is an inspiration to me, as I am sure it is to others.

In this episode Christian and I talk to Sam Griffiths. Sam is a passionate surfer who pursued a career in the surf industry. He started his time in the industry at Rip Curl on the back of his love for surfboards and spent time developing their board program. When the opportunity to be a team manager a Quiksilver presented itself, he jumped on it. It was a great career choice for a person who is very personable and has a desire to help others succeed. He held that role for many years before being promoted to a marketing manager role. Professional surfing has taken many twists and turns since the middle of 2023. The value of professional surfing has been reevaluated and the value of professional surfers is also under the microscope. Many surfers have had their contracts terminated or reduced. This was a great insight into what aspiring surfers should focus on, the support major brands can supply and is 'Force de majeure' still a part of athlete's contracts post 'COVID'?.

After a long wait, The Dust Up is back for 2024! We kick things off chatting with a truly fantastic shaper and designer - Nev Hyman.

In this episode we explore Technique vs. Equipment with Brad Gerlach from Wave Ki. Brad competed at the highest level and reached number one in the world. His smooth Californian style did not all come naturally and with some advice from his Olympic diving father, they explored body dynamics in surfing. Fast forward a couple of decades, Brad has created Wave Ki to assist others improve their surfing. We have all experienced riding boards that 'felt right' and improved our surfing as well as riding boards that 'felt wrong', like they were restricting our surfing. Were we just having a bad day, a bad surf or is it the first step in understanding our equipment? Surfing is a combination of waves, equipment, fitness and technique. If you improve your technique, you can evaluate your equipment so much better and begin to identify exactly what surfboard design aspects work best for your surfing. We all have different body shapes and fitness levels which dictate the dimensions of a surfboard, this is separate to the design. Our chat with Brad is accompanied by highly talented surfer, Kyuss King as well as Jack Walchesson from Surf Body Rebuild. Kyuss recently started working with Brad to mount a campaign to compete on the world tour. Jack was a successful ice hockey player with a passion for surfing. After a career in the high collision sport of ice hockey, Jack is sharing what he has learnt in his career as well as his studies in Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist (FRCms) and a Kinstretch Instructor. Jack specializes in helping surfers eliminate pain, tightness and stiffness in their joints. Enjoy...

In this episode I welcome Luke 'Howie' Howarth to discuss the all important surfboard design element - Bottom Contours. The bottom contour of a surfboard can be described as either flat, convex or concave. Its the detail within these three categories that determine a surfboards performance. What is the best bottom contour for a shortboard, fish, midlength, or longboard? Bottom contours are used to blend the centre line rocker to a shapers desired rail line rocker. We discuss the various forms of vee bottom shapes, single and double concave bottom shapes as well as channels and other various popular bottom contour designs. I chat about when I discovered the Isochronous curve theory and how it changed the way I look at the efficiency of my concaves. Howie explains the importance of keeping the bottom contours smooth and emphasizes how some designs are great car park talking points. There is so much to discuss when it comes to the bottom contours of a surfboard but we do our best to give a brief explanation and as always encourage surfers to start a conversation with a shaper.

(Time 0:1:30) The next stop on tour was the West Australia Margaret River Pro and the tour finally got some quality waves.

(Time 1:32:00) Lastly, we extract the good parts from the Surf Ranch Pro amid all the controversy from the Brazillians. There were definitely improvements with the pool competition this year but is it sustainable ?

It's been a little while since we put out a shaper interview and with good reason. There has been some restructuring happening with The Dust Up and before we welcome Luke Howarth to the team, we wanted to take an opportunity for him to introduce himself to the listeners. Luke was introduced to the ocean at Avalon on the northern beaches of Sydney when he was only 2 years old. He built a long and healthy relationship with surfing that would eventually see him compete at a high level and gift him the chance to start shaping boards. A regular visitor to Japan over the years to shape with his mentor Kazumi Nakamura of CHP surfboards. Luke enjoys working with surfers of all types on their equipment as well as their surfing. His focus is on quality NOT quantity and has no desire to have large production. I have immense respect for Luke's surfboards, design knowledge as well as his shaping machine expertise. We are absolutely honoured that Luke is keen to share everything with the listeners.

In this episode we speak with Adam Baldwin of Reclaim Surf. Adam is based on the Sunshine coast, Australia and very passionate about sustainable surfboards. In the beginning, he would recycle dis-guarded building materials and other items to create all types of surf craft. A health scare prompted him to re evaluate what his priorities are he chose to take time out from his full time teaching career and dive deeper into his passion for building surfboards. The boards he makes are heavily focused on a more environmentally friendly option with minimum use of toxic chemicals. Many shapers specialise in the sculpture of various foams but Adam is taking a different path, using EPS foam cores, paulownia veneers and cork. The surfboard myth we tackle in this episode is ECO surfboards and some of the 'Green washing' in the surfboard market. We also discuss the framework created by Sustainable Surf and what improvements we think they could introduce to their program.
