American 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.

ESPN NEWS STORY
Though I only had a chance to meet and talk with him a brief time on my first real trip to New York during the weekend of the Downtown to the Deathbowl premier, he was as genuine and nice person as I have ever met and extremely supportive of Mollusk and what we are doing as custom hand shaped board builders. Truly a soul who left this rock waaay to soon.
New Blog: Length of Line
Hello friends. I just wanted to say thank you for viewing my blog from time to time. It has really grown over the last year or so and I really appreciate the support. In adding to the blog world, I wanted to announce a new blog I've created which dedicates to documenting surf craft above 10 feet from our area of town. I'd be stoked if you added it to your list o' blogs and maybe even to your daily viewing habits. Cheers!

Letters are art...
I recently shape Thomas Campbell a few boards which was a real honor for me. Check out the letter in the mail for the order. Thank you T Moe! Hope you'll be stoked on the thin versions!
This past weekends secret sliders...
So I was asked what I rode this past swell and here are the culprits. First up is a single fin pintail board that was modeled after a board Skip cut out for me for my 2000 Indo trip. Jeff McCallum bought me this blank for my B-Day in 2005 and it was shaped in February of 2006. I hadn't really caught to many waves on it prior to this weekend but I needed a board that would bleed speed off the bottom to set up for the barrell section of this wave and it just worked perfect for that purpose.
7'2 Single Fin Pin
Multi color resin spear by the Master Larry Crow whose impeccable craftsmenship helped make Chris Chrsitenson popluar with all of those crazy resin comp bands and resin panels he created for him back in the day. I've known Larry a long, long time and he actually did a multi color spear on the second board I ever shaped (a 5'9 Rocket Fish Twin circa 1999). I'm sooo stoked to be working with Larry again directly full time, now that Michael Miller is my glass master. Such a great crew to be apart of.
6'4 Swallow Tail Tri
This was a board I shaped back in 2005 as a demo for Richard Kenvin and the Swift Movement as a potential model at that time. Extremely humbled to even have the chance to build a board for the Swift Movement, being so young and new to the game. The few models I built for Swift and their clients came from the Skosh Model and Rocket Fish line, but never the less an honor to be involved at such a young age. This board actually was the first board I built start to finish, shaped, glassed and sanded. Thanks to Jeff McCallum for helping me with the lamination and fins and thanks to Christenson for the space, time and shaping room.

Foil
There is just something about this photo I really like and how it accentuates the foil and rocker of this 7'2 Long Fish Simmons Quad. I heard this guy caught a few at the 'Bu post surf binge weekend. Shredda styleeee!
