Surfers need Surfboards to Surf
A week before we opened Surfy Surfy Surf Shop a rep from an import surfboard company burst through the door uninvited. He gave me the hard sell on carrying his low cost/low quality pop-out surfboards. When I explained the concept and the mission of Surfy Surfy, that we were here to give a venue to skilled local and underground shapers, he scoffed and said it would never work.
Forward 5 months later and we have pretty much sold through our entire stock of Bob Harvey surfboards. Who, you ask? Bob Harvey is an under-underground shaper from Carlsbad who has been handshaping clean boards for decades. His user friendly designs and affordable shaping fee have been a big hit in the shop.
This one is a clean single wing 7’0″ Big Guy Quad Fish. 21 1/2″ wide and 2 7/8″ thick. Cool blue and black resin swirl tint by Gary Stuber on the bottom with snappy pinlines on the deck by Peter St Pierre. 5/4 oz glassing for quality. The handy Lokbox fin system allows for travel and fin placement adjustments. Finish it off with a gloss and polish and you get a lot of board at a good price.
*this board is SOLD, thanks!

September 23, 2010you sell any boards not glassed at Moonlight?
Surfy Surfy!
September 23, 2010A few non-Moonlight used boards have weaseled their way in, everything new is Moonlight glassed. Think of Surfy Surfy as the official Moonlight Glassing retail store.

September 23, 2010Can’t speak for Surfy, but my guess is that he denied Popout dude b/c you can find those boards everywhere – including your “local” http://www.blahblahblah.blah and a megaplex “shop” down the road. Whereas, I have only ever seen the boards at Surfy, well, at Surfy. Keep up the good work Surfy! And besides – who cares if it’s Moonlight exclusive? What, do you only shop at China-factory exclusive?
