Meanwhile I'm getting booked up, so if you are planning a custom board orders for Christmas, it's almost time to get in touch now to get your spot in my calendar 😱
Cheers! Sam.

Mid-length from last year. I didn't get as far as to post on in time, but the board was already sold. It was initially made for my wife Ana with the custom fabric inlay she has chosen to match her wetsuit... but as i left it at Coffee&Waves, it was sold on the first day to someone else... 🤷🏼♂️
This model is called Interceptor.

A polished finish like this one here is really such a simple process but will show up any flaws in the finished board if each step previously is not completed perfectly. Often people think making a surfboard is just ‘shaping’ , but there is so much more to it than that.

So cool, I made this beautiful 7'2 float minimal for Jolie Janine recently and a surprise birthday present - 9'4 Lazy Boy log for her sister Julia, and found Bob's Boards feature in her recent Vlog on her life in Portugal. Check it out!
Love having such a great feedback and seeing that you are having fun in the water with it. That's the goal for a shaper!
