In June of 2024 I finally set a date with Ventura surfing legend and master craftsmen Mr. Dennis Ryder for a quick interview. Fifteen minutes away from my home, Dennis and his wife live in a beautiful property alongside a calm creek. What seems to be a serene and beautiful creek unfortunately has another side to it. A nightmare turned reality due to a series of weather anomalies which included fires, apocalyptical rains and mudslides changed the Ryder's way of living. Though able to save their home, barely, the whole property and structures within have been compromised. For example, the shed that was Ryder's shaping bay and micro board factory for his "from scratch to finish" operation is now under water. The Ryder Family through their perseverance and determination are taking the steps to bring their property back to its almost original beautiful state.Dennis now shapes out of William Dennis Surfboards shaping bay and keeps producing beautiful functional magical surfboards under the label Dennis Ryder Surfboards. By the way, the Dennis in the William Dennis Surfboards label was because of a short partnership with Blinky (owner of WDS) in 1967.DR and I had a great recorded conversation that flowed like a 9'8" well shaped classic log.Gracias to Mr. Ryder for sharing his immense and highly valuable knowledge and anecdotes.Topics;Beginnings in surfing.Morey Pope.John Peck Penetrator.Wilderness Surfboards & Greenough Designs.Surfboard Design and its evolution.Longboards, longboards, longboards.Displacement Hullsand more!Mr. Ryder can be contacted for surfboard orders via his websitehttps://www.dennisryder.com/For his  surfing blog post https://drsurfboards.blogspot.com/If you enjoy my podcast and would like to donate please consider Venmo.At Tupi-CabreraOr contact me at tupicabrera@gmail.com for donation alternatives, brand partnerships and sponsorships.Support the Show.

The weather has calmed a bit in Northern California, but things could be looking mucky for the influencer-palooza at the Phoenix Open. They begin with some clean up from Monday, where Pebble was called, Wyndham was declared the winner, and then he offered some candid quotes about weighing a LIV decision in the offseason. They ponder the current state of pro golf with these decisions and some of the payouts going to middling players for middling finishes. This is cause to discuss the hullabaloo around LIV's ratings from Mayakoba: should we laugh at them or hat tip some of the jumps? Is it completely negligible against PGA Tour numbers? The schedule of the week hits on the Phoenix Open and its field after two more high profile WDs that have featured groups looking a little thin. Some one-and-done picks go chalk and off the beaten path to mix things up. They close with some more quotes from a PGA Tour star on if LIV players should be welcomed back without penalty.
