Ryan Lovelace, a Master Surfboard Shaper
.
Ryan Lovelace doesn’t make cookie-cutter surfboards. His most popular model, the v.Bowls, takes inspiration from the boards the iconic Australian Wayne Lynch shaped and rode during the late 1960s and early ’70s during what surfers call the “short board revolution,” when boards went from being nearly 10 feet long to more like seven. His boards aren’t retro throwbacks, however; they have a distinctive, modern quality. “My father is a landscape painter,” he says. “The way these boards look is incredibly important to me. Color and composition have been vital from day one.”

Laurent Chantegros Surf Photographer
.
Originally from France, Laurent Chantegros moved to California when he was twenty-three. He currently resides in San Diego, and he started taking photos 25 years ago, spending countless hours in the darkroom processing black and white films. The last few years, he has split my time between studio and sport photography. Recently though, his interest shifted to surf photography. Now he's spending most of his time in the waters of Southern California capturing the lifestyle and culture of surfing.

Plankies
.
I started "surfing" with these plankies at La Chambre d'Amour back in the 60s and early 70s, it was such a great pleasure and so easy to ride and have sensations on these wooden boards. Unfortunately they almost disappeared. Plankies came to be produced commercially by Jacques (Jacky) Rott, who would become a partner in Barland-Rott Surfboards and Sosthène Larcebeau, a retired French Railways carpenter from Bayonne, France. These boards were reported to be molded plywood (90 cm long and 40 cm wide, or 35 x 16 inches). (Source: Barland Surfboards) Thanks to Guilhem Rainfray for his info and to my friend Mr Jacky Rott for his talent.
