Our good friend and local shaper, Josh Oldenburg, recently stopped by the North Park Flagship and dropped off a fresh, quiver of surfboards that he made with Japanese shaper, Kenji Kono.    Earlier this summer Josh invited Kenji to visit and shape a collection of surfboards at his shop in San Diego. Although this wasn't their first shaping exchange (Josh shaped a collection of boards at Kenji's shop in Japan last year), the entire process was documented for a four-page feature in the newest issue of Japanese surf magazine, Blue. Stop by our North Park Flagship to check out these classic shapes.  6'10 Single Fin 9' Log9'4" Swallowtail Noserider Film & Photos: Evan Schell
