EP10 | FROM THE SHED: SUPERWOLF

~~~NEW EPISODES WEEKLY~~~

Some of the most important work in surfboard building happens after the shaping bay goes quiet.

In Episode 10 of From The Shed, we sit down with Alex “Superwolf” Villalobos, one of the most respected professional laminators in the surf world. With nearly 30 years of experience, Superwolf has glassed boards for a generation of master shapers, including Tom Eberly, Jeff McCallum, Ryan Burch, Malcolm Campbell, and Derrick Disney. His work is instantly recognizable, abstract yet controlled, built on a level of precision that only comes from decades under resin and cloth.

Lamination sits at the crossroads of art and engineering. It is where a surfboard becomes finished, functional, and alive. In this episode, Superwolf walks us through several of his favorite boards of all time, each one laminated by his own hands. Through these boards, he shares insight into his process, his standards, and the quiet discipline required to consistently work at the highest level.

While many of his techniques remain intentionally private, the episode offers a rare look into the mindset of a laminator who values patience, quality, and respect for the craft above all else. Superwolf speaks to the responsibility of glassing a board properly, knowing that the final result carries both the shaper’s vision and the surfer’s trust.

From The Shed EP10 is not about chasing attention or trends. It is a portrait of someone who has dedicated his life to doing one thing exceptionally well, refining his process year after year, board after board. For anyone curious about surfboard construction, resin work, or the often unseen hands behind the boards we love, this episode pulls the curtain back just enough.
