Bear

In 1977, John Milius developed the Bear surfboard brand for the film Big Wednesday. This is one of the all-time classics, focusing on the Malibu surf scene of the 1960s and early 1970s, a time when "boards were made of wood and men were made of iron." The first Bear surfboards were crafted by legendary Kauai shaper Billy Hamilton. In 1980, another legend joined the team when Randy Rarick of Oahu's North Shore began shaping Bear Boards. The quality of Randy and Billy's boards quickly earned Bear a reputation for excellence. That reputation continues today, with excellent clothing and boards shaped by some of the world's finest craftsmen.
The bear still growls, the legend continues...
