EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the late 1950s in Santa Cruz, California, we are transported back to a time when surf culture was just beginning to take shape. The image captures the essence of creativity, challenge, and camaraderie as a determined surfer cuts out his brand new board with precision while his supportive girlfriend holds things steady. Amidst the backdrop of sunny skies and bathing suits, this historic snapshot showcases the effort and craftsmanship that went into creating surfboards during those early years. With sawhorses serving as their makeshift workbench, this couple epitomizes the spirit of collaboration and assistance that is synonymous with surfing. The monochromatic aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this vintage photograph, allowing us to appreciate not only the skill involved in woodworking but also the joyous recreational pursuit that surfing represents. As they engage in this active outdoor activity together, it becomes evident how much passion these individuals have for riding waves. This image serves as a reminder of how far water sports have come since then while simultaneously honoring their humble beginnings. It encapsulates an era where surfers relied on their own hands to create functional pieces of art before hitting the waves. A testament to human ingenuity and determination, "Making A Surfboard" is a powerful visual representation of both history and adventure captured by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG).
