Derrick Disney Is Shaping His Own Path to Fun

Derrick Disney is a surfer who we could all take a few tips from. He truly understands surfboards — the little adjustments that make those big differences, the slight tweaks that do different things to different styles of surfing. Disney makes his own surfboards from start to finish; from a block of foam to a work of art. “Being able to have your hands on it the whole way through,” he says, “I think that really helps with learning what you’re doing. Every step and how it affects the end result. It’s kind of therapeutic, I guess.”
