Like the ancient Polynesians who invented surfing, @dannyhess makes beautiful custom surfboards out of wood, which is uncommon for surfboards made today. “Salvaged and responsibly harvested wood is by far the best material for engineering a light, responsive, and durable board,” Danny says. “I build these to last. My goal has always been to build a beautiful, functional board that you never have to replace.” You can get a peek at the process of hand-shaping a wooden surfboard on Danny’s Instagram account, @dannyhess, and be sure to check out more photos from Danny’s shared workspace and showroom, Woodshop, by tapping the blue location text above this photo.
