We met up with Rhett Roback a surfboard shaper from Santa Monica, CA. We had a long chat about surfing, shaping and life. Rhett’s passion and dedication to his craft and his business meant that we got some great inspiration to work with and over the next 5 days we met up with him and filmed every stage of the process involved in hand shaping a surfboard from scratch.
Rhett says there are only three master shapers in the world, each of them has been shaping boards for over 40 years and between them they have probably only made around 6000 hand shaped surfboards.
