Al Byrne on Tools for Hand Shaping Surfboards

Shapers Australia have kindly agreed to allow me to share this short video I made with Al Byrne last year. AB was talking to me about the range of tools available from Shapers which are required to hand shape a surfboard from a foam blank. I only edited the footage a few days ago, and it reminded me how funny, passionate, witty and knowledgeable a man Al was. A lot of laughs behind the scenes on this shoot, I will put together a video of those moments soon.
Tragically, AB passed away recently after an accident in Bali, but all will remember him as one of life’s characters.
The godfather of the six fin channel, Al has had a major impact on the surfing world, both through his own Byrning Spears label, as well as through the ongoing work of shapers he has mentored. Towing in on big Hawaiian waves at 60 years of age, Al Byrne is an inspiration to us all.
