December 30, 2021 by ADMIN Leave a Comment

Birds Surf Shed Presents: Birds Secret Stash

In this new series called “Birds Secret Stash” Bird shows us a classic Town and Country Twin fin that found its way into the Shed this past month but sometimes boards aren’t meant to be sold. Theres one true cornerstone of “The Shed” and thats if someone finds an old board of theirs in the stash, they can have it back.

Well this one shaped by Dennis Pang in the mid 1970’s is one of those boards that needed to return to Oahu to the sacred halls of Town and Country.

Stay tuned for Part 2 coming soon.

From The Vault: Bird Huffman Interview 2013

December 8, 2021 by ADMIN Leave a Comment

From Episode 39 http://www.korduroy.tv

For those who know him, Bird Huffman has become synonymous with surf culture and the surfboard in San Diego. Growing up on the beaches of La Jolla, Pacific Beach, and Sunset Cliffs, Bird’s knowledge and connections to the legends in the southern San Diego area like Skip Frye, Steve Lis, Bill Caster, and more are undeniable. He has also amassed one of the most incredible collections of surfboards, which hang from the rafters at his surf shop “Bird’s Surf Shed.”

Each board has it’s own unique story behind it, which Bird will happily share with you as you stare in awe at the various pieces of our sport’s history. Also, as host of 91X Authentic Surf Report, you may recognize Bird’s voice as he shares what he feels is a surf report similar to what one of your buddies would share with you, rather than an embellished, over-promising report that we so often receive from various other surf reports. In this episode of Innerviews, Bird candidly shares what it was like growing up in southern San Diego, and how he views the state of surfing right now. http://birdssurfshed.com/

This old video comes from 2010 when Bird and Bod took some time to discuss Mitsven shapes and go over some of the theories behind the process. Sit back and enjoy ther Three-part interview with Bob Mitsven.

SHED SESSIONS: Newport Beach Edition

July 21, 2021 by ADMIN Leave a Comment

SHED SESSIONS: Newport Beach Edition

Original Post Date: Sep 6, 2018

When Bird Huffman, of “Bird’s Surf Shed,” was asked to choose some boards from his collection for the punchy beach breaks of Newport Beach, he stuck with a motif of fast, flat and thick designs. Boards, that after a couple strokes, will have a surfer racing through a hollow pocket.

Young guns Tyler Gunter and Finn McGill experienced the highly effective planing elements of a 5’2″ kneeboard-esque twin fin. A chunky yet complex little board that seems to go 0-100 instantly with no way to bleed-off speed. Despite never really catching on in California, Ben Aipa’s mid-70s “Sting” design surprised Newport local Bobby Okvist with how well it worked. Bird also shares Hawaiian Larry Bertleman’s preference to ride the design with the fin loose–freely sliding from front-to-back in the fin box.

Stylemaster Jared Mell trims a Robert August shaped single with fluted wings from the early 70s. The “Endless Summer” star’s endlessly classic step-up board comes complete with a heavy glass job, pin lines and no leash plug. No leash, no mercy! Especially on those big Newport Point days. No Newport-centric quiver of classic boards would be complete without a Russell Surfboard. And Bird tosses one from the late 70s, shaped by streetwear mogul Shawn Stussy, into the bunch. Both rich in beauty and Newport Beach surfing heritage, the Russel Surfboard seems to go just fine in the pocket under Punker Pat Towersy’s feet.

Featured Boards:

House of Paipo “Shoe” 5’2″ X 22″ X 3.25″

Dyno “Sting” 6’5″ X 19.5″ X 2.75″

Robert August 7’2″ X 19.25″ X 3″

Russell shaped by Shawn Stussy 6’2″ X 19.5″ X 2.75″
