❤Hermosa beach surf museum. A month ago we had plaque made. Velsy First surfboard shop in the world. It all started in Manhattan beach…. 😢
Excelente, trabajo!!!
It'd be cool to see an overlay of the surfboard outlines to better understand how the shapes differ.
Gracias por vuestros videos, buen trabajo.
Love these! Thanks
Our pleasure Andrea!
again, nice video. I do think the replica you show does not have a dead-flat deck, unlike the original pigs.
Great board
thanks for "pig" story!
The picture infront of the shop, at 2:18- what is the fin with 2 bits on the left board??
Very unusual huh? It reminds me of the high cant fins that produce upward lift as much as side lift. Talk about experimenting!
Velzys first surf shop was in the open space below a oil tower
Wow great history Cencal, everybody starts somewhere :)
