Description: Tweed Heads surfer/shaper Ben Webb has made a name for himself crafting iconic alternate surfboards for the past 13 years. Webby honed his skills watching his dad, Greg Webb the founder of Shaping Co, shape countless board’s for the coast’s best surfers. Today, he is well-known for shaping his own iconic surfboards. When Webby isn’t in the shaping bay, you’ll find him testing his designs along the Northern NSW/Gold Coast stretch of coastline. Pits, carves, airs and everything in-between, Webby has a model to suit. Webby recently invited Creed McTaggart to the bay for a first-hand experience, shaping him one of his well know ‘Vault’ models. The two later took the 6’2 with purple rails for a surf. “The board felt good. Nice long rails, for drawn out turns with a pulled in tail with glass in fins. It felt like I was never going to slide out. It makes it all that much more special being a hand shape and not a machine pop out” - Creed McTaggart Head to benwebbsurfboards.com to check out his latest crafts.
