Sacred Craft Ventura Recap

All things Yater were the focus of this year’s Sacred Craft show in Ventura. The weekend was filled with shaping legends, rare old boards, funky new boards, and shape-offs. Mr. Davenport held down the Anderson Surfboards fort with Josh Farberow. Here’s a look at what else was going on at the fairgrounds.
