Goofy-footed graphic designer and gallery owner, Matt Titone, recently sat down for a one-of-one Custom Handshape Experience with Bob from his studio in Ventura California. Over a couple of Zoom sessions, Bob cooked up a bespoke Handshape for Matt's local breaks and our Head Laminator, Nico, dreamt up a one-of-one glass job.
6'0" / 6'3" x 19 3/8" x 2 3/8" Custom Handshape Asym by Bob McTavish for Matt Titone. Lamination by Nico Saint-Cas, custom fins by Ben McTavish, filler coat by Reed Smith, sanding by Troy Bundy, fin lamination by Nico and Reed, and polish by Gabriel Speirs.
Custom Surfboards are at the heart of what we do, and have been ever since Bob first picked up a planer over 60 years ago. Getting a Custom Surfboard is all about making your board unique to you, whichever way you see fit, so it brings you the most stoke possible every time you surf it (or see it!). We thought it would only be right to give you the options to choose how 'custom' you want to make it.
If you want to make it a bucket list ticking experience, why not make a day of it with the Custom Handshape Experience. Get in the shaping bay (via FaceTime or in person) as Bob or Ben McTavish shape your custom surfboard right in front of you, and get all the goodies to remember it by.
