Ryan Burch is one of the most eccentric people in surfing. He surfs anything and everything. He’s a true believer that any board that’s fun is a good board–and he’s so good at surfing that nearly anything is fun.
Burch is totally dialed in to exactly what makes a surfboard move the way it does. He’s learned that through decades of riding waves and, of course, shaping. It’s the trial and error approach, and Burch has it down to a science. The video above is from 2010, made by Cyrus Sutton and Korduroy.tv. Although it’s old, it’s well worth the watch. And now that you watched him shape it, you should watch him surf it.
