Talking Story with Marc Andreini



Marc Andreini swung by the shop this afternoon to drop off a custom Vaquero (pictured) and to pick up some BioFoam blanks for a few customs and a couple of stock boards.
Marc is a consummate craftsmen and has a wealth of knowledge regarding surfboards and surf history. We're super stoked that he spent some time at Seahuggers HQ sharing a little bit of that wealth. Our conversation ran the gamut, covering everything from Hull design and the nuance of a Lis fish, to the challenge of riding a 12' Frye Eagle; Greenough's influence on surfing and the nature of flex. I only wish I could have captured it all on video!
It is always a pleasure to be in the company of a master, especially one as humble and full of aloha and stoke as Marc Andreini.
Big mahalo to Marc for the education.

Off The Deep End

Weeks of double over ankle surf got you feeling desperate to pump, carve, and attack the lip?
Fear not shredda, it's always 2-6' and glassy in Osos ->

And while shredding in a concrete bowl might have you feeling a little disconnected from nature, you can always separate yourself from the 'crete with a kine layer of sustainably harvested hardrock maple via Arbor's old school pool destroyer, the aptly named Oso.




Skate and Enjoy!
