Developing a new foam wakesurf board

Developing a new foam wakesurf board

Two years ago I was delivering an order of boards to Shortbus Board Company in Hatteras, NC.  Curtis Cromwell is the owner and a longtime surfboard shaper/manufacturer.  While at his facility, I saw on the wall a lineup of freshly finished fiberglass wakesurf boards.  I asked him about that business...and he told me it was doing great.  The market was growing fast and he had successfully designed boards that professionals were excelling on.  He then said to me..."if you could make a soft top wakesurf board, we could sell a ton of them."
