Clearwater Surfboards' Steve Del Rosso

He shapes all manner of custom surfboards but all with a performance orientation in mind. Recently Steve Del Rosso cut the power to his planer for just a little while to shed some light on the focus of his designs.

Not too long ago, Steve opened a Clearwater Surfboards retail shop at 46 Currumbin Creek Road.
