Shaping the Future with Linden Surfboards by Sebastian Williams June 2010
Gary Linden shaped me a new 5’0″ board. Shown in this video are some of the first sessions I had trying it out. Gary is a master shaper and craftsman. He makes the best agave boards in the world. He shapes big wave boards for some of the best big wave surfers in the world, like Mark Healey. He is an expert balsa board maker. His tow boards are amazing. The boards he shapes for everyday surfers are great. And now he is hand shaping the best small boards in the world for young surfers like me. I just turned 10, and everyday I surf better because I surf boards shaped by Gary Linden. Thank you Gary!!
