The work of Spindrift OG Adam Kidder, (AKA Al Ortiz), including the piece that he did for the new Spindrift tee shirts, is being featured on the Korduroy TV blog… http://www.korduroy.tv/blog/2013/exhibitionists-al-ortiz
The challenging thing about shaping multi-stringer boards is that the stringers intersect the outline mid-rail and wood and foam do not shape the same way…this one was worth the effort.
Part of a batch of logs headed to the Board House in Port Aransas. Ted, the owner, asked me to base them off of a hand shape that Donald Takayama. It’s always interesting to make a study of another shaper’s work, especially when it’s one of the greats. RIP DT.
