In this episode of The Quivercast, we sit down with Phil Myers @philmyersfreeflight, the legendary surfer, and shaper behind Free Flight Surfboards. Phil began surfing in the 1960s, a golden era when the lineups around New South Wales, including iconic spots like Lennox Head, were uncrowded and brimming with potential. With over five decades of shaping experience, Phil has witnessed firsthand the evolution of board design and the shifting trends in surfing. His craftsmanship has attracted some of surfing’s biggest names, including Barton Lynch, Col Smith, and Danny Wills, all of whom have trusted Phil’s boards to elevate their performance.
Phil shares his insights on how channel bottoms can transform a board’s performance, helping surfers improve their style and control in the water. We also discuss his enduring passion for shaping and the connection he feels to every board he creates. If you're in the New South Wales area, a visit to Phil is a must— it’s a chance to meet a true icon of the surf world. Tune in for an inspiring conversation with a shaper whose impact on surfing is nothing short of legendary!
