Ocean Edge Surfboards
Description
Surfer and shaper, Bob Benes, has seen plenty of changes since his early days at Stone Steps in the early-sixties. Back then Bob bare backed and knee paddled his high performance 9’6”. Since then he has had his fair share of twin fins, longboards, thrusters, eggs, and fishes. Born and raised in North County San Diego, Bob has time to figure out what works when.
If you ask him what his favorite board to ride is, his answer varies depending on the day of the week. One day his favorite may be his 6’4” fish, the next day it might be his 8’ single fin mini-longboard, another day it could be “The Caviar”, but lately it’s been the “Secret Weapon”.
At 54, Bob has seen plenty of phases of the modern surfboard and 10 years ago when he started shaping again after his 20 year hiatus, Bob committed his designs to function.
