Wisdom Surfboards

Last week after surfing seaside my friends and I headed over to Wisdom Surfboards. I know the shaper Mark Wisdom pretty well and he has even shaped my last 2 boards. He gave his a tour of his shop and showed us the boards he has been working on. He also explained in depth all 6 of his board models. They all serve for a different style of wave but all compliment each other. What I found most interesting was how he was glassing all of his boards. Its pretty straight forward how a blank is shaped, but glassing it is another completely different challenge. He is well known in the surfing community for how quick he glasses boards and he was telling us how in a month or so he will be glassing about 150 surfboards for well respected brand names like JS Surfboards. When all of the pros come into town for the Lowers Pro he ends up glassing a lot of their boards. It is cool to know that the same guy who is glassing boards for the elite surfers of the world is shaping boards for me. All of his boards have been tested by big name surfers like Rob Machado. Rob surfs at the same break as Mark, so he is always willing to help him out and give him some solid feedback on his boards.

I also drove for this surf and trip to Wisdom Surfboards.
