Skilled-Surfer-built vs. overseas-low-wage-high-profit-replica surfboards… Ready, go. (**Reposted due to music flag, apologies**) Nainoa Speier of @moonlightglassing , musing on the effects of the art of surfboard building when profit becomes the primary motive, over community, over legacy, over skill and artistry, over the Hawaiian roots which we all stand on. #supportsurferlabor #aloha

5'7 Rum Shot channel bottom round tail twin... I have been laminating boards at @moonlightglassing a little over a year now and have decided to bring all my production over here. We have an amazing crew of board builders that are some of the best in the industry. Going on 50 years of legacy/reputation behind the shop, the end product speaks for itself. I will still be laminating my boards but will pass along the rest of the process along the way. Couldn't be happier to be part of the team. #since1979 #quality #reputation #worldwide
Retro Teriyaki DT2. Sometimes you just can’t seem to find the perfect Vintage Rider in the Model and Size preferred. That’s when you head on down to @surfboardsbydonaldtakayama and order one in 5 easy steps:
1. Chose your model/size and ask for Vintage Resin Tint
2. Ask for the Model/Period correct laminates such as Beach Break, Egg, Model T, LJ, Noah, etc.
3. Ask for the rest of the period laminates such as HPD Rail, Noserider, and Bird Lam’s to be placed where Donald designated them to be
4. Have the actual shaper proudly inscribe his creation in pencil
5. Lastly and optionally, locate a period correct vintage center fin and tie it all together
This Retro DT2 is pictured next to a 30 year old DT Model Teriyaki. It was finished just this week, and is an example of the stellar craftsmanship and detail from @moonlightglassing and Surfboards by Donald Takayama.
