"When I shape this wood, I put my soul into this wood. I put my spirit into this wood, because this wood deserves the honor of that... this is a tree that grew well over 2,000 years ago, and I'm holding a time capsule in my hands" Bill Hamilton #SurfboardsandShapers This tweet was posted on March 28, 2019.

Native Hawaiian surfing originated approximately one thousand years ago. He‘e nalu, which translates to “wave sliding,” is a culturally distinct form of surfing that grew into a popular pastime for men and women of all ages in Hawai‘i. 📸: @bishopmuseum #SurfboardsAndShapers This tweet was posted on March 20, 2019.

In 1992, Laird Hamilton, Darrick Doerner, & Buzzy Kerbox pioneered tow surfing at Pe‘ahi, Maui. That year, Dick Brewer created “Betsy” for Hamilton and Doerner, the first modern tow board designed with a full-concave bottom profile and reduced tri-fin setup. #SurfboardsAndShapers This tweet was posted on February 12, 2019.
