The FutureMidwest event just got a littler sweeter.

Daggerfin has commissioned Justin Bruursema from Burly Surfboards to craft a custom made surfboard for the FutureMidwest 2010 event. Justin is a surfer/shaper from Grand Rapids, Michigan. He is building a classic single fin longboard that is perfect for learning to surf the Great Lakes, or for the seasoned rider who has honed his/her surfing skills. One lucky person will leave FutureMidwest as the proud owner of this sweet, hand-crafted surfboard. 

Justin specializes in making boards with a modern shape, but glasses the board with a classic glassing technique called resin tinting. The result is a performance board with a retro aesthetic.  He believe’s strongly in the saying “Love what you Surf.”  Most of his boards are being surfed in Lake Michigan, but he has also shipped boards to surfers on both the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean.  

His custom board for Daggerfin is taken from a design he calls The Logjammer. The board has a blunt full volume nose for walking to the plank and hanging ten, and a rounded pin tail for ease of turning when the rider is back on the tail. The overall dimensions are: 9’0 length x 23” wide x 3” thick. 

We are looking forward to meeting the lucky winner of this beautiful board at the conference.
