I’ve surfed for 25 years and never knew half this stuff. Awesome

[@TandCSurf]

Awesome! So glad we could give you some more insight into your surfboards! More videos to come on different surfboard concepts!

[@hman7236]

Listen to the man. Sensei knows

[@TandCSurf]

Sensei does know best 🥋

[@mediumrick7667]

Have a board he shaped. Bought it brand new from a shop on Oahu in the late 80's.

[@wesleyrichardson2171]

These breakdown videos are so great. I have surfed for a long time and know what I am feeling in board's but to hear the actual science behind the reason for the feeling is so cool. It's made me realise why I love swallow tails so much because I like attributes to both squash and round but get the feeling of both on a swallow. It's so good to realise what your feeling is the purpose of the design. Can you do a full breakdown of the sinnr ? Concaves rocker tail fin placement and size recommendations etc. I love your shape's and the sinnr really has me interested.

[@TandCSurf]

Hey Wesley! So stoked you're enjoying the content! We will absolutely be doing surfboard reviews on the SINR in the future. We are currently working on a surfboard review of the Soul Fish which will be coming out this Sunday so we will keep the SINR in mind to do next!

[@hashjupiter1093]

Great content everyone at T&C - especially Glen✨ Well articulated, too. The surf world need more videos like this ✅

[@TandCSurf]

Ask and you shall receive! We have more Master Shaper Glenn Pang Tutorials coming soon! Please subscribe to not only support the channel but to also get notified when we release the new videos 😃

[@cafeconcass]

Simple, short and informative. This was great, thanks.

[@TandCSurf]

Mahalo!! More to come!

[@nancybashista1390]

Thanks! Beautiful boards.

[@TandCSurf]

Mahalo!

[@paulaa1175]

That's a great short and clear explanation of basic tail shapes. There are more of course. The Bat Tail (versions by Tomo and others) - small scallop curves cut into a rounded tail create small tips like mini swallow tips which provide grip and refines the tail area - can be combined with channels to improve directional flow under the board. (Looks like a bat wing too). Then there's asymmetrical tails - which are getting some attention at the moment - Lost and Album have been trying them for a while. Your body isn't symmetrical in applying pressure on the board, so why should the board be that way? Then there's the Australian Bum Tail, which is when you damage your swallow tail so much that all you can do is sand the tips down into rounded bumps - hence the 'bum' or 'booty' outline ... (Australian surf design solves all problems) ... But really we hope Glenn does rails and foils, concaves and rockers - surfers should 'know that board'. A key to progression.

[@TandCSurf]

Absolutely! We definitely have more surfboard tutorial videos in the making with the Master Glenn!

[@tyzobloom]

these boards look gorgeous!

[@TandCSurf]

Mahalo!

[@norman-gregory]

As a beginner...appreciate this channel. Cheers T&C from Australia.

[@TandCSurf]

Mahalo Norman! Happy to help!

[@norman-gregory]

@@TandCSurf...Mahalo T&C Staff. All the best for 2024.

[@livedeliciously]

You guys should enter the Stab in the Dark contests. Not enough Hawaii shapers in there. I think I've only seen Pyzel and Arakawa.

[@tiagopinto365]

wow! BEAUTIFUL BOARDS😍😍 learned so much

[@TandCSurf]

So glad!

[@catinthehat8412]

boards look so good 🤙

[@TandCSurf]

Mahaloz!!!

[@mikek4537]

very insightful vid! i’d like to know - what is the science behind bat tails?

[@oddtoddodd]

YEEEW!!!🤙🏽

[@TandCSurf]

🤙🏼

[@Skene_O]

some absolutely awesome looking boards Glenn. Do your boards make it over here to OZ distributors?

[@TandCSurf]

They absolutely do! You can DM our Australian distributor on IG @tandcaloha. They will help you out with getting you anything you need!

[@anatta467]

this would have helped my nintendo skills greatly 🤙

[@TandCSurf]

haha 😆

[@darrenmarney8577]

Hopefully in 6 months 🙏 I shall have a Town & Country board in my quiver 😃

[@TandCSurf]

We hope so as well! If you have any questions regarding the best board to fit your needs feel free to send us a message at [e-mail]! Our factory staff is always helping out surfers pick out or design the perfect custom board just for them!

[@jamesetal7088]

Sweeeet!!!!

[@TandCSurf]

[@gregcummings5294]

Diamond tail just like a round tail ? Your thoughts

[@coldseamonster]

Does Stu Sharpe still shape TC on east coast??

[@igaroot]

🍏

[@miktub1555]

Skip the music next time, hard to hear him talk.

[@TandCSurf]

Thank you for the feedback! 🤙🏼

[@MrBadiay]

Sick video, great explanation. The music is just a bit too loud, too many different rhythms compared to the pace of his voice. It doesn't fit

[@TandCSurf]

Noted!

[@francus7227]

The last 4" of the board are the LEAST important. How quilckly the nose and tail taper, the thickness, the rails, total length, mid board width and glass weight are ALL more important. If you can't surf.... all tails are the same. If you can surf, all tails are the same. Only a TOP professional is going to notice the SLIGHTEST differences in the last 4".... pin, swallow, squash... The MOST important things? Right board for the waves it's being riden on. Right size for the surfer. If you're 200 pounds on a 6' potato chip board in 2' slop, you won't stand up once unless you already RIP in which case, you don't need "which board" tips. It's the Indian and not the arrow that counts.

[@marioferminio1]

DESIGN is very important, but have you ever heard of lamination with vegetable resin?

[@sarapa2]

Organic surfboards 😂😂😂

[@byronbass1370]

Can you please go over Billys quiver. Especially bigger boards. His boards look the best for all around surfing in good waves. From 6’4 to 10’4. Mahalos

[@TandCSurf]

We will absolutely keep that in mind for future conversations with Billy! Billy has a TON of boards, each tailored to specific waves and conditions. We will have future videos coming out featuring some of our big wave boards that Billy rides regularly as well as other boards that our pro team riders utilize.
