Billabong USA is hosting their fourth annual “Billabong Art of Shaping Event” this year at the Sacred Craft Consumer Surfboard Expo at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in Del Mar, CA. This years’ “Billabong Art of Shaping: Los Angeles County Edition” event will feature many of the top shapers in or originating from the hotbed of Los Angeles county.
The list of confirmed participating shapers includes Scott Anderson, Joe Bark, Jose Barahona, Clyde Beatty, Matt Calvani, Lance Carson, Bing Copeland, Robbie Dick, Bruce Grant, Tyler Hatzikian, Brian Hilbers, Jeff Ho, Hap Jacobs, Dennis Jarvis, Don Kadowaki, Glen Kennedy, Greg Liddle, Casey McCrystal, Jed Noll, Pat Ryan, Mike Stavros, Jeff Stoner, Jerry O’Keefe and Michael Zippi.
The “Billabong Art of Shaping LA County Event” is a charity event, the winner of the competition is the shaper of the board that brings in the highest auction price at the Live Auction held Saturday night, October 8th; and thus becomes the largest single donor to 2011 SIMA Humanitarian Fund Grant recipients, the beneficiaries chosen for this years’ “Billabong Art of Shaping Event”.

September 27, 2011No…the Lakers are actually pretty good last time I checked. Also what does the “Art of Shaping” have anything to do with competitive surfing, beaver? Read the entire post before you start complaining silly…

I can’t believe anyone would care or pay attention to competitive surfing. Lets get some painters together and lets see who can paint more radical.

Its nice to see the some of best surfers in the world ripping one of the best waves. Thats worth seeing at least once a year. I think riverjetrat’s point was- how do you judge it. True I don’t really care who wins in the end, but these guys kill it either way. Notice that I said some of the best surfers- I really prefer the “free” surfers such as Rasta or Dan Malloy.
Can’t believe Slater was wearing gloves????? Never understood the gloves with no hood. Hood will keep you way more comfy then the gloves.

Exactly jdog77. Yes, how or a better question is Why? do we judge.
When you’re deep in the barrel no one can see you anyway.

September 28, 2011Perry is a nazi. I would think most white aryan surf nazi’s would love him. The kind that like all black basketball teams that run around putting a ball through a metal hoop and call it entertainment
