Josh Hall Surfboards Tours EuropeAmerican Shaper Josh Hall to Travel to Europe to Break Into European Surf Market



SAN DIEGO, CA (September 22, 2009)—Josh Hall Surfboards opens to the European surf market with new high quality, 100% handcrafted boutique surfboards this fall. San Diego native Josh Hall will travel to France, Portugal and Spain and establish relationships with European surf shops in October 2009. Hall will take Europe by storm shaping custom boards for new customers and collaborating with Europe's top surf shops to welcome his superior custom shaped surfboards overseas.

“It’s been a dream of mine to shape in Spain and I can’t wait to get out there,” says Hall. “I think that my boards and shaping style will fit well into the growing niche of surfers who want boutique boards from California.”

Josh Hall will shape his handcrafted boards in Hossegor, France beginning October 25 before traveling on to Portugal in November. In hopes to showcase his custom boards, Josh Hall will spend over a month in Europe shaping, surfing and meeting new clientele. Hall has established his American audience and has worked directly with the legendary Skip Frye and collaborated with Andy Davis, Tyler Warren, Thomas Campbell, and Richard Kenvin.

Jeff Mccallum arrives in France in two days, so hurry up and order your custom made Mccallum.

Some of my favorite models with words by Jeff himself:

Mini-Simmons

"I built the Second Mini Simmons ever, I made it for RK in 2007. The Second Generation Simmons combines the Spoon Tail and a pre progressive outline. Special edition for Europe, limited series."

J.Jr

"Designed for punchy waves. Hallow beach breaks, or slabing reefs. You want to ride these boards as small as possible, I ride a 5'5'' The idea is to get the board to fit under the lip in these types of waves. The are thin, with a flat deck carried out to the rails, than a drastic change to a progressive rail. This design allows you to ride a thinner board, while keeping the flotation and the sensitivity of the modern rail. Thruster or Quad"

Quagg

"Designed as a fish alternative. All the characteristics of a traditional fish, with an Egg outline. One of my first designs, and one of the most popular. The Curve in the tail creates a looser feel than a fish, while still maintaining the speed and glide. Ridden from 5'3'' to 6'6'' I am 6'3'' 185 and I ride a 5'10'' Great all around board. From mushy points to hollow beaches. Quad or Twin Fin"

New B

"Designed as the ultimate performance, while not a shortboard, Still mantains the paddle of the other designs with a more progressive rocker, foil. Has the same deck design as the j.jr. Quad Fin. "

Mac Deville

"My most popular long board. From 9'6''-12'' Full trim model. Designed for speed an distance. Long Journey Sufr sessions and paddling. One of my favotires."

Spoon

"The Spoons is a very hard board to build, need times and patients. They are 12 layers of glass and two sessions of shaping for this beautifull object. Expert only."
