Donald Brink and Slyde Handboards prototypes!

We recently teamed up with San Clemente local shaper Donald Brink to work on prototypes for our next models.  What we came up with will blow you away! We chose Donald not only for his obvious talent but also for the fact that he is willing to experiment with all sorts of different shapes. This is very apparent in his Full length boards where he is pushing the boaundaries of shaping and taking it to a new level. In my opinion it he is an anomoly in the shaping industry where only a handfull of guys are really willing to take that step to make somthing trully different. Donald is also above all a great surfer  and an exceptionally astute mind when it come to the way a board works in the water, I thought I knew my shit this guy put me to shame. These are some image from the shaping sessions and you can view all these and more in the Gallery section here  We think you may like what you see. We will also have the Videos from that session up tomorrow and will be sure to let you all know
