The Shape of Things: The Dick Brewer Story
Meet surfers Jeff Hakman, Jericho Poppler, Alan Sarlo and Gary Linden, and Director Bob Campi, all who appear in the film at this very special screening.
The Shape of Things – The Dick Brewer Story chronicles surfboard designer Dick Brewer. Winner of the Maui Film Festival and the Honolua Surf Film Festival “Audience Choice Awards”.
Arguably the most influential surfboard shaper of in the 1960s and 1970s, Dick Brewer has often been called the father of the modern-day surfboard. He changed the design of surfing equipment not once, not twice, but three times in his 50-year career as a trailblazer, with all the notorious tales that have until now remained just rumored legends.
Brewer’s designs have been interpreted, modified, and often copied through the gifted hands of shapers on every coast and in every decade since the 1960’s. He mentored, taught, and inspired dozens of the world’s top shapers. Today, his rails, his rockers, and bottom are intrinsic to surfboard design.
