Cross Design press & media

Cross Design is a small family factory, so this is a short list. Everything here is real: features quoted word for word and linked to where they were published, plus Joe's own films and channels.

    Junkyard Surf shaper question card: if someone rides one of your boards for the first time, what do you hope they feel?

    Shaper stories: a question for Joe

    “Before shaping a custom, he wants to know how you surf, so he can build around you, not a set of stock dimensions.”

    A follow-up question to Joe: if someone rides one of your boards for the first time, what do you hope they feel? His answer ends: “A custom board should work for the person who's actually surfing it.”
