Got my first blank there in about 1973, gumby took me out to the shaping room and cut the plan shape for me and showed me how to shape

What a class looking place. An Alladdin's Cave.

Like a so Cal Airboard thick tail....Rusty Concave and Sparrow Carlson Step all in one Pyzel if it was Varial or Dark Arts the one Board Quiv ....from Town to Cal to East Coast Spring thru fall or Caribbean Cruiser lil bit Tear drop shaped.....why kook of all Kooks Kookaphobic about 5 fins.....3 or 4 only the law can't even don't even know when to ride all 5.....that is something worse than spoiled rotten Kooks mentality

Shorter than my regular board? My current regular board is meant to be surfed shorter than my regular board which was also meant to be surfed shorter than the board i had before that. I'm now surfing 3'6" boards.

Hey, Have you tried it with a round tail? Do you think It would be better for good waves with a rounded tail?

This board resembles my half-pint by Arakawa

Hands down the best surf shop, period. The history and culture of ET are important and easy to see but the crew working there is AMAZING!!! Dan Connell, Daniel, Sonny, Worm and the rest of the boys make that place what it is. I lost count of the boards (both surf and skate) I’ve bought from them. Even when I don’t need to buy anything, I’ll stop by from time to time just to say hi to the boys. They’re like family.

“I needs the precious!”

looks sick 🤙

That last turn!👌🏼

Bought a 7’4” ET pintail in spring of 1974…took it to Kauai and scored perfect Hanalei Bay late September of that year…those were amazing days

looks fun, would love to try one, do you have any distributors on the Big Island have a test model? and what size would you recommend for a 55 yrold, 5' 10" at 175-180 lbs , decent surfer...

so sick!!!!

Best surf shop of all time

I can't speak the Precious but can vouch that everything he said about concave decks is true!

Looks like a McCallum

Nice, let’s go hermosa beach 🤙🏽

Thank you uncle Pyzel 🙏 stoked to try one of these now. Was a bit confused by the step deck initially but i think I'm a convert.

Best surf shop in LA County by far

Stoked you got to visit E.T. Surf. I know Mr. Eddie Talbot very well, and I have the pleasure of getting to surf with him on a regular basis. The man is truly one of my favorite humas of all time. Stop by the shop and pay Dan and the boys a visit. They have EVERYTHING, and if they don't have it they'll order it for you. FANTASTIC crew.

Spyder kicking themselves rn for not carrying Pyzel

@Pixelsurfboardsinternational, hi 60 liters?

I can't help and think of the great Dennis Jarvis when I think of ET Surfboards! Love you brother DJ...

Dan Conell, & the OG ET crew, such legends 💪🏽

Love the concept of the video. Going to promote a legit good local place. Awesome 🤩

Sickkk

This is exactly how surf shops were and still should be, not over commercialized corporate wannabes.

Used to steal shoes from there

I'm 66 been buying surf gear since the seventies 😊

Dan 🤙🏽!

This was sick. Gotta support these older core shops. They are treasures of surf cultures.

Core surf shop. Great employees & new/used rack. Always worth a stop in the South Bay 🤙🏻

First surf shop I've ever been to, bought my first deck there and it's still as rad as it used to be!

How has anyone growing up in South Bay, surfing or skating during 80's... not been in this store?

This is a great clip! Ya Dan!

Nice

In 1981 I became a sales rep for Powell skateboards, ET was one my best account’s, Eddie would always call on the employee’s phone number, He was the only customer that did, it made me think of him as family..

My mom bought me my first surfboard ( no more hand me downs ) in 1981 from ET when I was 11 years old. An orange and yellow Dewey Weber twin fin. Great memories!

Throwback!

I'm 53 now, my dad bought me my first surfboard there in 1980. I love that shop, real culture.

Here on the south coast of NSW Australia we had Skipp Surfboards. The shop was up on the street and the factory ( old horse stables originally ) was down the back. You could watch Ed shape your board, his skills to shape your vision. Then talk to Tommy ( who used to work for Tommy Peterson MP’s brother ) on how you wanted the board to be glassed. Then talk to Nel the sander on how sharp you want your rails. You were involved in the whole process. It was better than Xmas day

❤ ET & LGKings!!

You kidding me, Dan’s the man! E.T. Surf is the most core shop in SoCal! It’s like a surfing museum. OG for decades! And the best guys and service, you run into them around town too. Kevin Anderson aka Worm, Dan, Sunny, Daniel, Tommy, etc. All knowledgeable and super cool, no attitude. I might look at other places, albeit rarely. But, I only buy from E.T.

Bought my first wetsuit there in the late 70s. Still remember the smell of wax/wetsuits/surfboard resin when I walked in for the first time.

72 you guys made my first board. 5ft 10in kneeboard. Many years of fun. Pedro to Ila Vista. Many Thanks

One of my best core memories is walking through the front door back in the mid-80s and being greeted by the sweet smells of resin and sex wax.

My local surf shop! Love seeing ET get publicity.

I skated for Alva in the 80ʻs - did a demo there and was stoked by how genuine Ed and Theressa were!

love to go and have a look at a real surf shop🔥

Dan and Dan were my guys! They fueled my surfboard addiction for years... all my custom Mayhems
