Surf and Shave (206)First learn about a surfer's life both on and off the water from expert Randy Rarick and premier board designer Ben Aipa, who walks us through the seven steps of making a finely crafted surfboard. Aipa's 40 years of experience help him create and custom-build some of the best boards in the world. We also take a look at the many collectible antique surfboards on the market.
Then travel halfway across the globe and discover Geo F. Trumper, internationally recognized as the finest traditional gentlemen's barber in London.
