Inter-Island Shapes by Jim Phillips

Growing up on Oahu, one of Jim’s first crushes was with Inter-Island Surf Shop. At the age of 16 Jim would bring his boards to IISS to have them glassed. “Back in ’64, I remember thinking that if there was a place I would like to work it would be Inter-Island and Hobie. Since nobody was offering me a job I just continued to shape in my dad’s carport and bring my boards to Inter-Island for glassing. $25 was a lot of money for a kid back in ’64 but that was the cost and they were the place to be. Sparky was someone we looked up to as a pioneer and craftsman – I’m honored to carry on his legacy with the IISS family…its a dream come true.”
