set-into-the-stick fins

Set-into-the-Stick Fins are WaterBomb proof.





I got the idea from Roy Stewart who builds rocket ships (surfboards) in New Zealand. And then also from Alex, in Halifax, who works wood. The method allows more strength in the fins while doing away with a mess of epoxy on the bottom of your board, fillet joints that will create some extra drag. All my fins are now set into blocking on the inside of the board, allowing for a super snug fit.

Fun with Glass!

Those interested in a Custom Job are encouraged to weigh in on issues such as choice of "laminate material." All we have to do is let go of our dearly-held notions of fiberglass and the like. We encourage the use of natural fibers such as bamboo and cotton to replace the fiberglass where-ever possible, which offer comparable strength at the same weight. Our bamboo source needs to be greenlight surfboard supply in Philadelphia PA yeah penna.

Tougher than Your Board, You Betcha

Why Wood?

Wood is Good. Beautiful! Even sacred, maybe. Here in Shelburne, we have a ton of it. If used judiciously, it will continue to be available to skilled builders for generations to come. It is non-toxic to work with and has less of an impact on the waste stream than “modern” surfboard foam. Recycling of used wood is not just an option; it’s a reality. And planting new trees? Consider it done.

Why Now?

Now is the time to buy a surfboard that will last. How many fins and decks have you seen smashed in the sloppy beach-break? Don’t let it happen to you. Get a tough board. Your children will thank you.

Why Shelburne?

(((this information is classified))))

Why Everybody?

Everybody Surfboards has made a commitment to providing interesting shapes and will build to ANY custom specifications. Our first priority is environmental consciousness; we pledge to support the local business climate with a global perspective on our continued impact. Most importantly, we surf. We surf a lot. And our boards feel good.
Let’s Go!
