SHED SESSIONS: Santa Cruz

Noah Wegrich and Darshan Gooch test out four vintage surf crafts in the waters of Santa Cruz For Season 2 of Shed Sessions, we're taking a slightly different approach. Rather than allowing the surfers to run rampant in Eric "Bird" Huffman’s San Diego shop--picking out whatever boards they want--we're letting Bird take the reigns. "I started gathering boards in 1972," says Bird. "At this point I've got about 1200, so there's a wide, wide variety of boards. For this season, I'm gonna pull out three or four boards that I think would be fun, and then we're gonna reunite the equipment with the area and the people where it came from in the first place." For the season 2 premiere, Bird picked four boards with roots in Santa Cruz, and then we drove them up the coast to put them back in SC's waves, ridden by SC locals Noah Wegrich and Darshan Gooch. Bird's picks, which include a classic ’60s performance longboard and a ’90s tow-board with weights down the middle, are anything but ordinary, but neither are the lines Gooch and Wegrich draw on them. The boards, in order of appearance, are as follows: Flying Fortress Shaped by: Andy Tyler Dims: 6'6" x 21" x 2.5" Haut Shaped by: Doug Haut Dims: 9'6" Rusty Shaped by: Rick Hamon Dims: 6'0" x 17.25" x 2.2" Gemini Shaped by: Jeff Alexander Dims: 6'1" x 18 1/4" x 2 3/8" Music by Killer Ghost https://soundcloud.com/killerghost/in-the-forest-green https://soundcloud.com/killerghost/boo-hoo

Thanks so much, Bird, for giving Jeff some LONNNNNG overdue creds. Those guys did it justice, and the design looked so sweet in the barrel on that first wave!

Jeff is just re-starting his website. He text me this morning from Bali, where he lives, but I also work with Tiger G Surf in San Diego, and Dewi is Jeff's Indo-ex who runs the facility here. We have KKL cut the Gemini to any shape and size, then I scrub (as a favor to Jeff and Dewi), and then it's finished to order.

And if you're in Hawaii, Jon LaLanne is also licensed to produce Jeff's design (it's a VERY complex shape. It's not 'just 2 noses' - as Kelly Slater discovered when he tried to copy it), and Jeff and Jon worked closely so that Jon fully understood the design
