Our Virtual Surf Shack!
Our old
shack site was sold, (died) in 2007
but we're glassin' with BJ (see below) now in far west Houston and we're still alive.
Check out some recently made
boards.
Shaping Room Ready for fiberglass
Our Shaper - "The Condor" - Doc
The first board I made when I was 12 did not float for more than 10 minutes.
The mess I made doing it in my dad's garage was legendary. Let's not count it, shall we?
I watched more and started to learn from the da-kine guys in the late
60's and really made boards people would buy starting around 1970.
A typical years production now ranges from 6' thrusters and
fish to 10' ultra light nose riders with everything else you can imagine.
Maintaining quality standards
"Brettatola" or "Brettzilla" - Grinder, glasser &
QA/QC, - Brett - First started building boards in 1972. Has
35 plus years of Mexico's pacific waves as a testing ground. Currently oversees
quality of production, thru constant inspection of our product line. This
insures the best methods of lamination, sanding, and gloss coats. Fondly
called "The Brettatola" for his unwavering, fundamentalist standards of surfboard construction.
Mowing foam.
Our polisher and painter - David. Years of working with paint and surfing. A great touch with the paint gun and some of the best clear coats around.
Always up for a polish or a grind job. Easy and laid back through it all.
"B.J." - Glasser/Grinder/Shaper - Williamson and Co. -
Bringing over 45 years experience in the surfing industry,
Bryson can handle anything for Superior including the fiberglass lamination and grinding duties. History in
the industry includes owning and operating BJ's surf shop from 60's-70's,
learning glassing and board shaping techniques from the worlds experts. Now also makes the
Williamson and Co line.
The late Gary adds a gloss coat
The late "Picasso" - Graphics/Gloss Coat/Webmaster -
Gary K. - While Gary was taken in his prime he will be remembered
for many things. From classic lines or accents to colorful art and
graphics, his work was magic! He started surfing in Huntington Beach in the late 60's,
and enjoyed the crew at Superior for over 15 years. Dedication set him apart. We sprinkled
his ashes outside the break at the Surfside jetty in '98.
Surf Gang
chills in Mexico
We're not interested in buying "classic" boards. Life is short.
Ride 'em till they die! ... just don't bring 'em here.
