What an amazing winter we had at home.
Chilly mornings never came close to slowing down the froth levels from our crew, especially @mr_goose16

"I look at shaping a board as an art. It's a dance all the way down to the footwork. It's too important for it not to exist."

There's more to a surfboard than the waves it rides. For Zach Smith, it's about the movement, the process, and keeping the art of shaping alive.

There’s a certain magic in a board shaped by hand.

For Zach Smith, shaper, designer, and owner of Smith Surfboards, shaping isn’t just a craft, it’s an art. Every curve, every detail, and every board reflects his connection to surfing and the water.

From a Cold War-era bomb shelter in his backyard, Zach spends hours shaping boards by hand, only stepping into the shaping room when he’s in the right mindset to bring one to life.

What does that process look like? Why does the energy behind the shaper matter? And what makes a hand-shaped board so special? Step inside Zach’s shaping room and see how a piece of Eastern North Carolina surf culture comes to life.
