Glenn Taylor interview, shaping video, and pictures
Glenn Taylor Interview – “In the shaping bay” with Glenn Taylor
We spent a couple days in Port Macquarie, Australia while tripping on the east coast (of OZ) a few months ago and got the opportunity to stay two days with Glenn Taylor, headshaper at TURBO SURF DESIGNS. Glenn took us to the TURBO factory for those 2 days and we had the great opportunity to stay at the factory all day and film Glenn when he shaped us a board and shoot pictures of everything we wanted to shoot. Even got to help Glenn a little with laminating and stuff. Pretty cool days at the factory.
The result is this 12 minutes documentary on how to shape a board as well as a massive amount of pictures taken while Glenn was shaping our board and a bunch of other boards. We filmed the whole process (it takes about 3+ hours to shape a custom board, depending on the options you’ve chosen) but only kept 12 minutes of footage, edited into 30 steps to have the board build. It would have been too long to watch 3 hours on video hey!
If you don’t know how a board is shaped you definitely wanna watch this ! If you wish to download the documentary feel free to subscribe to our podcast (it’s free on iTunes), we have uploaded the 12 minutes clip on it last night ! If you’re already a subscriber, then just refresh the iTunes podcast page on your computer.
The last thing we did once we had gathered all the footage and pictures was to interview Glenn. Glenn shapes the TURBO custom boards in Port Macquarie, Aus. pretty much everyday of the week and all the boards are shaped by hand as you will see on the video. We asked him how he started and what it’s like to be headshaper for Turbo, how he started Turbo with his bro and what his next projects are.

New UNITE website, DLUX sale and FUTURE TRADING Results
UNITE just launched their new website for 2009 and dropped us a line: “New website coming soon, yeah right! Okay, we admit it, our new website took a while longer to launch than we had expected. Who can blame us though? It is Summer after all and there are a million and one more fun things to do right now than slave away in the heat in front of a computer.
All excuses aside, we’re stoked to finally have the new site online for your viewing pleasure. Take a look around www.unite4fun.com – you’ll find a comprehensive guide to our new Summer 2008 Product range and a Dealer Locator so that you can track down your local Authorised Unite Dealer. Plus, there’s information about our 2009 Bodyboard Team as well as everything you need to know about the Company and more.
But that’s not all. Along with regular news updates from Unite HQ, we will also be adding Team profiles and interviews, Podcasts, and much more in the near future. Also, our Summer 2008 range is available now at all Authorised Unite Dealers across Australia. Check it out in store or download the Summer 2008 Catalogue here.
The entire Unite Bodyboard Team will be on The Rock throughout February for the Hawaiian late season and first stop on the 2009 IBA World Tour, the Turbo Pipeline Pro. Stay tuned to unite4fun.com for all the breaking news, session reports, and hijinks directly from the North Shore.
