Video Series - Almond Surfboards and Designs

We are very stoked to welcome Almond Surfboards and Designs to our line-up of boards at Moment Surf Company. Here is a video from when we went down to visit their retail store and tour the shaping bay. Griffin shapes all the boards by hand and the quality and attention to detail shines through on each board. As they say on their website: "Almond is the premier lifestyle brand of the Surfer+Craftsman... a collaborative effort of friends making timeless, quality, essentials for surfers. Hand-shaped surfboards are the backbone of what we do here, but that's just the beginning of the story."

After meeting these guys and seeing first hand what they have going on, I am very impressed and excited to introduce this brand to our customers. In the video, you will see many of the same boards we brought into the shop. Including the 5'6 Quadkumber. I hadn't ordered it, but as soon as I saw it, I had to have it. Here is a link to all the Almond Surfboards we have in our inventory. Each model was choosen because they would work great in the waves here in PC and Oregon in general. Stop by and check them out or give us a call if you have any questions or would like additional information. And of course, if we don't have the model or dimensions you are looking for, we can custom order the exact board you want.

Welcome to the team Justin Buford! Justin has been a part of the shop since we opened in 2010. He was a true local grom who would spend his days skateboarding in our parking lot and washing rental wetsuits when he wasn’t in school. His family lived just up the street and his step-dad is one of the best surfers in town. His brother-in-law comes from the legendary South County Surf family the Ledbetters. Surfing is who and what Justin is, it’s in his blood. 
It felt a lot like home, Ireland. I suppose in a bizarre way it is, as my ancestors planted their roots in county Sligo on the North West coast of the country in the early 1700's after immigrating from Scotland. Ireland has been at the top of my travel list since long before I found out there was surf there. I formed images in my head of what the landscape would look like from seeing pictures, videos and hearing stories of infamous rocky basalt point breaks and shallow heaving slabs. Every image I had crafted fell short in comparison to seeing it all in person for the first time.
