I’m in my year’s most intense work period. Not I’m in my year’s most intense work period. Not much time for board building. But today my longboard finally got some color. I aimed for a pale creamy yellow, but miss judged when mixning. At least it will color match my old VW surfbus Humlan 😀! #customsurfboards #handmadesurfboards #handshapedsurfboards #localshsper #airbrush #surfboard #surfboards #surfboardpainting #longboardshaper #longboardsurfboard #surfgubben

Almost no crowd (that cowboy Waco champ the only exception, but he was all messed up from that robot wave🤗). A quick cappuccino in the surfbus and back to work.

What a day! Despite micro sized waves, I had most What a day! Despite micro sized waves, I had most possible fun. First a short session on my wave-sailing gear. Then when the wind turned more off shore a pristine session on the point with my summer fish. Sunny, at times glassy, still warm water, and a super stoked small crew in line-up. I think we did the most of this last moment of September. #customsurfboards #handmadesurfboards #handshapedsurfboards #torö #torösurf #balticsea🌊 #balticsurf #localshaper #smallwavesurfing #surfgubben

When I told my friend and Maui shaper Sean Ordonez When I told my friend and Maui shaper Sean Ordonez that I was going to shape surfboards a little bit more seriously he got really exited and started to give me a lot of valuable advice. He told me that I should start to shape longboards that he meant was the most difficult board type to shape. He recommended what blanks to get (Yater or Nat Young) and how to approach them. To create the long curves of a longboard is so much more demanding than doing curvy shortboards, stubby fishes, broken lines, or steps and channels that hides badly designed or shaped curves. 15 years later I still haven’t followed Sean’s advice. But I have studied, measured and tried a lot of different longboards. Now I think I’m as ready as I can be. Finally I will put theory and ideas into practice and material. This will be so much fun!
