Greg shaped 4 boards for me over the years….loved all of em….its a personal preference….love how they ride….just need to get a feel for them….

Yeah. Whew! My Dad knew what good junk is. He made a living in building/ remodeling houses. Nice collection there Kirk! Pardon me pleez but I need to say Thank you Captain Kirk!

When Liddle had his first shop in the San Fernando Valley on Ventura Blvd., it was great place to hang out for young surfers. Nothing else to do, no decent surf, just go hang out at his shop. Greg was ALWAYS the nicest guy to us, and always seemed in good spirits and welcoming with no sense that he didn't appreciate us guys hanging out there, no matter the hours being there. He'd be sitting behind that counter he had, I can easily picture it, often with foam dust covering him. I bought a number of boards from Liddle. I sent him a note after he retired, a little sad to know he stopped his production, but congratulatory, to which he kindly responded. Just a great guy, I hope he and his family are doing well.

I have many Liddles from the 70's to a custom shape from the 90's. The best boards ever. I was a grom haging out at the shop in the mid '70's. God I miss him.

I remember the shop off the freeway in Agoura what a Blessing

Required watching!

Sweet!!!

Bumbed I can't bend my knees like that. Knee replacement prevents it. It's definitely a whole new type of riding .

Not many surf that squated and flexible. Ideal style for everyone to strive for. After the 2 knee replacements in one knee I can't flex like that. Just happy to be able to surf again. Style is everything becoming a lost art.

Always listen to the older wise men. I knew I recognized that nieghborhood.

Great history lesson. Kids have no style these days. It was all style back them. Easy to watch. Now it's kinda hard on the eyes

Its cool how he talks about the templates. Cool to have a physical template as a surfer i know most people wouldnt care. They probably have digital ones now a days for the potato chip surfboards wonder if there us any hand shapers that 3d model there finished work.

Greetings from the Caribbean!

Surfing still needs more kegel!

What an amazing man! Does anyone know what he meant when he said inner plane outer plane templates?🙏

Did you see that one part when the pigeon was walking in the background? That was good....

Interdasting....I like those hard edges all the way along the rail line

as a former shaper myself I am dying to see a straight edge run across one of those bottoms, those rails look so thin and centered , mind-boggling, makes me want to drag out my old shaping tools ,get a couple of blanks and get to work

Thanks for all that trial and error. Had another amazing session on my 7’3” Vaquero today

Marc "You Rule!" because of your commitment to all areas of SURFING the sport of kings... Timothy

That’s a cool mini doc. I remember hearing about these boards in the 90’s and beyond. I had no idea he retired in 85. People are still talking about these hull designs.

I was given a Liddle board yesterday for Father's Day. It's been sitting in a garage in Big Bear for the last 30-40 years. It definitely needs some TLC, but there is a ton of life left in it. Dims, best I can tell is 5'10"x20 1/2"x3 1/4". I'm going to bring her back to life. Thank you so much for this video and the inspiration.

2:10 what kinda man!

Just surfed with him by myself for an hour in solid ripping overhead surf at OB. Incredible knee paddling to the break on a 7’6-8 single fin! N just charging with ease. He did get caught on a fat set wave to the head, that was insane I couldn’t believe what I was seeing this man is truly legendary. Hope I can surf in pumping OB in my 80s. FEB 9, 22

Can we get the newer field notes on KZbin?

Not only a wonderful shaper, surfer, and keeper of knowledge and history - but one of the nicest people on the planet, a true gentleman. <3

Love this!

Cool boards, well ridden.

Quintessential hipster jazz music for The quintessential hipster Dude !!!!!

so good

Greg's blue surfboard rental shack at Malibu next to the burger canteen. That was summer '65.. Dora ruled the place. I was 14 running with Kelly Field and Louis Fain bumming cigarettes (surfers smoked in those days) from tourists on the beach. Please God can I do it again?

I've known Marc since the mid 60's in Santa Barbara and later in Santa Cruz. One of the great shapers.

Lovely profile of a truly lovely human being. I grew up surfing Santa Barbara in the 70s and had the good fortune of owning one of Marc's designs. One of the great guys and great craftsmen.

Is there a specific shape for the rabbits foot for goofy and regular surfers that you should go with? does the shape of it work better on certain directions for waves?

Great video and awesome music choices.

Was the Liddle sign donated to Mollusk, Santa Barbara? Cool exhibit there 👍

A true master craftsman

My favorite board is 6,8smoothies

Amazing

Gregg? Let's go out to eat again!? What's Andy doing?

Bring back the frequent buyer discount !!

Need help identifying where that break is! Doesn’t look like Lindy or Jetty

Hi Daydream. Fantastic video. Enjoyed it so much. Question: has Marc released the book? See it on his website. But the blurb does not match his decription in the video. Wondered if they were the same. Book shown is 'the Gift'. Has to be the same. Interested in his desc of hydrodynamics. Thank you.

Ten years ago everyone was riding a thruster on perfect logging waves. Now it’s the opposite

What about Duncan and Wilderness?

Death Maschine - Best board ever.

I want to read that book! What a cool knowledgeable guy.

So much knowledge

Cool video. Thanks for uploading. I'm going to make a displacement surfboard, to give it a try.
