Yesterday at the Sugar Mill on the North Shore, I stopped by JC Surfboards (John Carper) to check out some of his new boards, get a broken board reapaired…and also captured a quick interview with the legendary Shaper of 30 years! In my quick (and 1st) interview with JC ….he discusses his shop and his history at the Sugar Mill on the most famous of all surfing places in the world…the North Shore. I got to take a quick peak of his shop and his shaping room…and also just shot the shit with him for awhile.
JC has shaped boards for elite team riders which include Shane Dorian and big wave hellmen Mike Parsons and Peter Mel.
