    Hello Swellinfo community. My name is Phil Taylor and I have been building surfboards on a custom order basis for over 15 years. Endless Summer surf shop on 38th st in Ocean City MD is the first surf shop to carry my surfboards. These are handcrafted surfboards where all pocesses are completed by me as I would have it no other way. If you are in the area feel free to stop in. Also you can check out my facebook @ PhillipTaylorGallery.

    Thankyou Swellinfo and be well all,
    Phil Taylor

    Thankyou. All i hav at the moment is the facebook page.I am in the process of a website. my email is philliptaylorgallery@gmail. feel free to contact me for a price on a custom design.All the boards pictured are high volume low length boards. definately fun east coast. the one u mentioned is a 5-7 at 20 3/4 inches wide and 3 inches thick. V bottom nose to tail for better rail to rail.performance intentions with plenty float. I am 200lbs and ride the same shape in a 5-9 x 21 at 3 thick. I ride it in knee to two feet overhead. love it.These were made with a shop in mind but all my templates can be modified and customized for individual needs.Your attributes would influence this.

    Brian thank you so much and I have absolutely loved what you guys have been doing over there at Greenlight. I am self taught and when I first started out there wasnt much of an internet, absolutely no youtube, barely any info out there to gather and no shapers or builders would let any info go. You guys break all those rules and I hope all the aspiring shapers/ builders realize that and appreciate what you guys have created and the opportunity you provide.

    Thank you all for such wonderful comments. My intentions were to make a public announcement that my boards have finally made it into a shop. That after all theses years of success and failure, hard work and resin burns, that a shop finally gave a "little guy" a chance. For me that shop is Endless Summer. Its hard to break into this industry. It has taken me many years.Thankyou for such a wonderful reception.I appreciate the kind words and inspiration.
