Marko and Marlin


Mark Donnellan has been glossing and polishing surfboards at Moonlight Glassing for 30 years. Here is a Lance Smith photo from 2007 of Marko surfing this Marlin Bacon California Quad with glass-on bamboo fins.

    Those boards don’t have the cult erBB following, but they are millions of times better than most of the quads that do.

    I want to get back into shortboarding (from riding twin and quad fishes all the time).

    A board like that seems like the ticket, no?

    Can they go vert pretty well?

    yea marko!

    The only guy who surfs more thank Mark is Dale Webster. Im claiming he’s got everyone else beat. He will be 100 and still doing that cutback in the kiddy bowl.

    How many people can truthfully say that they have learned how to surf the inside bowl at swamis by simply watching Mark surf. That guy knows the good ones! He’ll catch the bumps that know one else even sees and will paddle around the waves that look ok at first but end up being close outs. What an incredible surfer and all around good guy. Show us some more pictures of Mark surfing, now thats what you call surfing with STYLE!!!

    After an honest day’s work, it is just comforting to see a surfer’s surfer doing something for pure joy. Slater is amazing, but endless coverage is nauseating. Thank you for my daily dose of reality.

    It’s a joy to watch Mark Donnellan surf…he consistently surfs with grace & beauty…I often wonder if he has been video tapped or filmed surfing?!

    All you “so called surfers” who do not use Moonlight Glassing boards don’t know what you are missing. Marko not only makes the best board but knows how to use it.
