FCS Honors Bob McTavish, 'Legend Shaper Award'

FCS announced that Bob McTavish is the recipient of their inaugural FCS Legend Shaper Award this afternoon, an honor bestowed on those who have contributed to the surfboard shaping craft and community for over 40 years.

As part of the award, FCS not only wanted to honor and celebrate shapers for their significant contribution to the sport of surfing, but also have them shape a board for FCS team rider Mick Fanning. Originally, the idea was that FCS would document the board building process and get Mick riding each board, gauging his feedback.

The result is a beautifully produced video by FCS, providing a historical look back at Bob’s career while a sharing intimate moments between Mick and Bob in the shaping room.

Congratulations, Bob!
