Carlsbadistan surfboard shaper David Barr was featured on the Surfing Magazine site as part of their Month of the Shaper in conjunction with their annual surfboards issue. Nice to see local surf craftsman getting a little global play in the surf media (even if his shop is in Oside). Here’s a little of what he had to say:
The custom board is what keeps me afloat, my clientele come to me for conceptually sound advice and much more personal customer service. Sometimes I feel like I’m delivering their first born not a 6’2″ hotdog board. This used to drive me crazy, but now I embrace it. . . . Right now I’m working on boards for really crappy conditions. Boards that you can have fun on in conditions that normally you would just pass on. Let’s face it, surfing is about having fun and staying wet. If your not surfing in the everyday crap you’re worthless when it get good!
Great, because those are exactly the kind of waves we’ve been stuck with lately.
