This little film is about my husband's surfboards. Steve Pendarvis has been building boards since the late 60s and has boundless creativity. He has been fascinated with building flex tail boards for many years. Our friend Bill Harris and I made this film about Steve and his boards. The film was shot at San Diego beaches and at Steve's shaping room workshop.

Filmed by: Cher Pendarvis
