Surf Advice from Shea Somma
This month's podcast conversation dove deep into the art and science of surfboard shaping. Shea Somma, a central coast hand shaper, shared how the fickle, funky waves of his home break shaped his approach to grovelers like the Mini Super and Panza, and walked us through his unforgettable win at the Boardroom Show with a Bonzer design judged by the Campbell Brothers themselves. July’s podcast reminded us that the smallest design tweaks can make the biggest difference in how a board performs. Here's a quick recap of our podcast this month.
Check out the podcast video below along with some of our favorite tips from our guest.
“The Mini Super is a Mini Simmons style board, it was one of the first styles of surfboard that I was able to explore pretty thoroughly. And the idea is that there's an ideal aspect ratio of length to width of template, that is the most efficient for moving through water.”
“The obsession with volume. Just the real hyper focus on that number is interesting. I think it's a good indicator that those companies that have been making boards and marketing that number, I think they've done a really good job on their marketing, but I think it can be misleading to the average surfer about what is of critical importance to them having a good time in the water.”
