Attention to detail, whether it’s in marking up the outline on a blank or keeping every tool in its correct place, is kind of surfer/shaper @shyamabuttonshawdesigns’ thing. His boards, as you might imagine, are beautiful labors of love where all the details blend together in subtle synchronicity. Above, Buttonshaw’s attention to detail translates into a searing turn on his self-shaped 5’11 twin fin. Shot by @grantellis1 during the making of “Handmade 2”.

2019 was loaded with Internet-breaking short surf films. Numbered among the 2019 Surfer Awards nominees for Best Short is “Fruition”, @sethmoniz’ all-killer and no-filler edit. For the full list of Best Short nominees, hit our link in bio. Directed by @coleyamane.

@urbnsurf in Australia just dialed-up this man-made slab. It’s called the The Beast and, according to URBNSRF, is “an intense, slabbing, sidewinding barrel that also offers sections for turns and airs.” This thick-lipped, chlorinated beauty can be yours for $79 per hour starting in January.

Remember @julian_wilson’s stratospheric punt? The one with Michael Jordan-esque hangtime? Well, it’s a 2019 Surfer Awards Best Maneuver nominee. For the full list of this year’s most progressive men and women above the lip, head to our site. Video: @jimmylees

“This one time, I had a board that was sticking so bad, so I just elbowed all these little divots into the bottom, from the nose all the way down to the concave,” explained @knostthankyou in Indonesia during the filming of “Handmade 2”. “And it worked. It loosened up the board and it turned really nice after that.” Hit our link in bio for a behind-the-scenes look at our latest film. Photo by @grantellis1.
