Listen now
Description
Asbury Park shaper Jon Oppito of Rozbern and TrimCraft Surf designs boards with the steep barrels of his native Jersey in mind. In the second half of our live show at Asbury Park Yacht Club organized by Headland Collective Oppito reveals how winter storms and local sandbars influence his shapes. We learn about the consumer shift away from high performance and why surfers always over sell their ability when ordering their boards.
