A conversation with Josh Hansen _Hansen's Surfboards Mar 09, 2025

Show notes

Our Guest this week is about a Surfboard Shaper that been around Since 1961. From early days

in Santa Cruz being an apprentice under Jack O’neill, to shaping under Hobie and Jacobs, it was

on the North Shore of Oahu where this shaper made his mark building world class high

performance Shapes, which lead to creating his own Board Brand Label. Later Relocating back

to California and seeing the need for a Surf Shop in San Diego, the business expanded into

retail. Since the early 70’s this Family Owned and Operated Shop is highly respected, deeply

rooted in Surf Culture, and is continuing to provide an unparalleled retail experience in their

20,000 square foot shop. Continuing the Legacy and Heritage of the Family name…. we welcome

Don & Josh Hansen of Hansen's SURFBOARDS.
