Compared to the number of guys mowing foam, there are relatively few shapers making composite boards. I wonder how many, if any of them also make furniture, are accomplished painters and have 30 years of shaping experience? Santa Barbara shaper Allan Gibbons is one of the few who possess this seriously diverse set of talents.
Hey wow, check out this video of GH I found on Mollusk's site.
- #I want one of these surfboard slings for those long walks to trestles.
- #A three six zero preformed on nothing more than a belly button. (How's the commentary brah!?!) Here's an erBB thread with more video from this contest at Sandy's Beach in Hawaii.
- #Ryan Heywood releases Bodysurf v3. Spot-Fucking-On and not a logo to be found. Makes me want to go get some with just my skin on.
- #Remember the press release, email and social media campaign quk put out when Julian Wilson pulled that sushi rollshit? O'niel and redbull have a clone of that machine rolling for Jordy's rodeo flip. Here's the video on Yahoo sports.
- #A new episode of Hi Shredability with Chris Christenson and Brad Gerlach riding Harleys and looking for waves in New York.
- #Awesome spot logos! Just don't ask where they are.

Allan is a true Surfer-craftsman-artist. Not to mention an all around nice guy.

Too bad the Surfer mag photo gallery isn’t working because there are some cool photos of a trippy flex tail fish that he made on there.
Alan Gibbons is one of the main handshapers at Channel Islands.
