Danny Hess Surfboards
Danny Hess is a green carpenter who turned his attention to
hollow wood surfboards a few years ago. His professional
woodworking skill and his skill as a top-level surfer at Ocean
Beach were combined into a new craft. I've been fortunate to be
able to watch some of the refining of his craft as he reached his
current level of expertise, where he is making shortboards
that weigh 8 pounds out of wood and epoxy. It is unquestionable
that you will be amazed at the quality of the workmanship. As to
the shapes, he has one of the best testers in the state in his
own two feet. If you are at all interested, give him an email or
ring, and check out some of his work.
