Rod Hynd's new board


Rod recently bought in a Skip Frye Diamond model that over the years had finally become so compressed that he needed a replica made. Custom shaping these boards is a pleasure as it not only reinforces the whole concept of custom shaping but also allows me to revisit some of the classic yet timeless designs from some of the worlds most respected shapers. The original can now be retired as a valuable collectors item with a great history and the new one can be surfed and enjoyed as the original was.
