Jeff Beck - Nine Lights

Huntington Beach, California

Wood has a job to do in a Jeff Beck board. The man behind Nine Lights builds with wood and foam, exploring how construction changes the ride as much as the outline does. Every board passes through his hands from start to finish.

His Openface construction puts balsa reinforcement into the deck and rails around an EPS core. Even the fins can carry their own woodwork, right down to matched redwood burl. There’s plenty to stare at. Jeff’s interest is in making that craftsmanship hold up once the board leaves the rack. His fins are also next level!
