Pro surfer and longboard shaper Steve Walden is touring with GSI !

This Thursday the 26th, GSI is touring with Steve Walden of Walden Surfboards. Pro surfer and “The father of modern longboards” will be meeting with fans and answering Q&A at Hansen's Surf Shop in Encinitas from 12:30PM to 1:30PM.

Rookie or pro, this is a unique chance to meet the maker of the most advanced and high performance longboard on the market. SoCal native, Steve has personally shaped more than 20,000 boards including some of the most prestigious labels ever made. Fun fact, Walden still holds the record for the longest noseride in competition history with an epic 25.5-second ride.
