Got to hang and talk surf story with Shawn Stussy and Tom Adler a week or so ago. Shawn's been prolifically shaping heaps of new boards at his studio in Montecito. The boards walk a refined line between nostalgia and modernity. If you're ever in the vicinity of Santa Barbara, stop by the S Double shop in the back Richie's Barber Shop and feel up a few boards.
You can always check the S Double site for other Stussy goods in the meantime.
