The surf museum just acquired one of John's three fin styro epoxy boards from me that I hope gets on display soon. One of the early innovators of styrofoam.

Great to see you carry on the torch. John started it as a legacy surfboard company and deserves lots of credit for the innovationof the new era of tri finswhich I got to exerpeice riding John's boards, he took the leap and I was still watching guys ride dinosaurs giving me crap for having 3 fins. I'll never forget that

The Bradbury legacy

Creative Freedom began in 1967 in Santa Barbara California. Bradbury's passion for building fast and light boards that worked best on the point breaks of central california, ultimately spearheaded the short board progression and transition from big heavy balsam boards to lightweight and aerodynamic fiberglass and foam core boards.
