Ian Balding is a Cape Fear surfer, shaper, carpenter, craftsman, captain who has been designing surfboards, paddle boards, bateaus, GoPro Mounts and basically anything that floats and rides waves for many years. He still works by himself in his backyard kwanza hut when he's not providing epic excursions and buorgie adventures on and around the barrier islands of southeastern NC. Working far outside the scope of a typical backyard shaper, Ian has worked on some really cool projects with some really cool people. I was stoked to finally catch up with him after a fun surf at our local beach. www.facebook.com/ianbaldingcustoms
