Beginning May 3, 2013 San Diego surf shop Aloha Sunday Supply Company in collaboration with Starbucks Doubleshot (the energy drink for coffee drinkers?) is presenting Art Of The Craft, a one-week pop-up surfboard gallery featuring the work of San Diego Shaper Josh Oldenburg.
After receiving his first surfboard in junior high, a 7’2 round nose egg with a thruster fin set up, Josh Oldenburg knew that surfing was in his future. His first industry job was gluing blanks for Mac King Foam at Pacific Glassing where he learned that true craftsmanship is the ability to create multiple, flawless boards at one time. This belief inspired Josh to start his own business shaping surfboards, and in 2008, he opened Josh Oldenburg Surfboards, and independent surfboard shaping company in San Diego, California.
Josh along with Santa Cruz, California based wood surfboard shaper Martijn Stiphout will also be featured in a three part video series titled Art of The Craft premiering May 3. Hey, if Seattle’s retail coffee monster wants to help expose a couple quality surfboard shapers, who are we to argue.
The opening reception at Aloha Sunday begins at 6:30 PM on Friday, May 3, 2013. Aloha Sunday is located at 3118 University Ave. in San Deigo California.
