Board of the Week: We're Back and Better!

Hey Surf Neutral Fam,

After a little break, we're stoked to be back and ready to share some rad updates with you! We've been busy behind the scenes engineering some cool new features to make your experience even better. Now, it's easier than ever to dive into the story and history behind the boards you're riding.

Barry Snyder's Asymmetrical Masterpiece

This week, we're shining a spotlight on an incredible piece of art from the punk rock outlaw and award-winning shaper, Barry Snyder. Known for his rebellious spirit and innovative designs, Barry has outdone himself with this asymmetrical board crafted for regular footed riders.

Specs and Story HERE

Shaper: Barry Snyder
Design: Asymmetrical, suited for rider's stance
Dimensions: 9’2” x 21 1/2" x 3"
Features: Twinzer, Volan layup, custom checkerboard tail block
Inspiration: An homage to Stephen Hawking, aptly named "Event Horizon"

After a long hiatus from surfing, Barry hit the waves on International Surfing Day with this beauty. Despite facing health challenges, his passion for surfing remains undiminished. This longboard, the first he's made for himself in years, marks his triumphant return to the ocean. Barry describes the ride as a "good workout" and a reminder that the ocean always welcomes you back with open arms. He's back, baby!

Discover the Soul Behind Your Board

Every surfboard has a unique story, crafted with passion by shapers and cherished by surfers. Some boards are born from the pure soul of a shaper, while others are made with commercial intent. Yet, for every surfer, each board is a magical toy that brings endless smiles with every epic wave.

We had the pleasure and honour to meet the legend behind this board out of California in person, and we look forward to sharing more of his epic boards soon.

At Surf Neutral, we want these boards to tell their stories—not just from the shapers but also from the surfers who ride them. Too often, when a board changes hands, its history fades away. The dimensions get forgotten, and the surfer who once rode it becomes just a memory. But not anymore!
