Man & Sea
The vast ocean that ebbs and flows against the shores of northern California has always been a source of pleasure and inspiration for local surfer Brian Himlan.
Through his company longshipdesign, he brings together his love for the sea with a lifetime’s woodworking experience.
At his shop in Santa Cruz, Brian creates beautiful handcrafted wooden bellyboards and handplanes that allow people to have fun in the waves, even when conditions are bad.
