A Day In The Bay: McTavish

Whether you ride performance shortboards, longboards, creative twin fins or something in between, the creation of one’s board is always fascinating to say least. It’s the things that each shaper focuses on, the little aspects and attention to detail in their creative process that differentiate each board significantly. From the design course on a fresh template creation, to the use of the shaping plane and the techniques behind it, the variation of glassing’s, contours and rails - the list truly goes on and on and each shaper has their own unique method.
This is where our new content series, ‘A Day In The Bay’ comes into play, a series paying homage to those talented individuals behind your favourite boards and an exclusive insight to the brands themselves.
In episode two, we hang with surfing royalty Bob McTavish and son Ben to learn about the brands strong history, the development of iconic instrumental surf crafts and the modern day techniques keeping McTavish ahead of the game. Plus, we get an exclusive insight into ‘The Rincon‘ and ‘The Butterball‘.
Welcome back to the bay!
