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.

What’s Little Weeds you gonna ask ? “Little Weeds is three a series of three five-to-six week heats. It’s an online competition where you create a profile and upload photos and video of yourself. Those entries are then voted on by the public. There are five categories: modelling, surfing, writing, photography and videography. The three winners of the three heats (ultimately chosen by mentors after considering all votes and comments) of all five categories will be flown to an undisclosed location in July to compete against other Little Weeds. From here (and sponsorship proposals willing), we’ll take all five winners to another undisclosed location (okay, Bali) and create an entire issue of Stab (or Spit x Stab) on-location created by and featuring Little Weeds winners”. Read more here if you wish.
So Chad has entered the competition in the videography category. Check his profile here to read more about Chad and watch a cople clips edited by Chad. We hope Chad’s gonna win that thing coz he fuckin’ deserves it.
Surfing seriously needs some good film makers and creative people and Chad is one of them. When you watch bbing videos like the Nofriends series, the Waldrons vids, Todd Barnes vids or Bryce Thurston’s vids you can clearly see how much talent there is in the bbing community. Is there more talent where money’s not involved ? Pretty much all bbing movie makers made all their vids for the love of it. We’ve also seen great talents in the longboarding/alternative crafts/fishs/eggs/singlefins/arty stuff like Seaworthy, Thread, Sprout etc. in the last couple years but we havent seen too many new talents in shortboard movies. Seriously. Let’s hope the Little Weeds comp will bring cool new people in the limelight !
Go vote for Chad right now ! Vote here – click Stab Up on the side of his profile ! Check his profile here.
