Sacred Craft Expo '08 Del Mar

"Sacred Craft exhibition '08 was a huge blowout success. Surfer Magazine's Scott Bass and company orchestrated a superb 2-day exhibition that went off like clockwork. This year many of the great surfing legends were there. Greg and Jed Noll spent some time with me at the John Cherry Woodcraft / Cherry Surfboards booth. I got to spend some face time with Greg, talking about shaping Bob Simmons reproduction boards. What a treat. For 2 days the hall was packed with beautiful boards of all descriptions, art and legendary surfers. Next year....I'm there.

Dave Galison, New York surfer / shaper

















Dave Galison, hard core New York surfer, shaper, one-man surfboard factory, has been one of my most loyal fin clients. His boards, all of which he rides, are as much about art as they are about function. To see more of Dave's cool creations go to the "Your Boards" section in my website gallery. Rock on Dave!
