>> reporter: nope, you're not in kansas anymore. surfing off the california coast is as popular as it's ever been. from the party wave riders at malibu, to folks chilling at dohini where you can sit for hours in the line-up just waiting for the right wave. and for that, you need just the right board, this one is big, wide, made out of foam, great for surfing little waves like this, in fact about anyone can ride it, but in surfing, it wasn't always that way. surfing was once a sport reserved for hawaiian royalty who road the waves on boards of solid wood that were long, narrow, and majestically heavy. it's 140 pounds. 140 pounds? how did they even get it out to the beach. >> if you're royalty, they carry it for you. >> reporter: patty used to surf for a living, one of the few

3:51 am
sport to the next level. california store still thriving and the namesake boards still made the oldschool way. sh shaper gary larson starts with a blank piece of foam and custom carves it for a surfer's specific needs, he'll angle the side or rails to help the board stay put on a steep wave face, sharpen the nose for high performance turns or carve a wider tail for stability. >> these are stringers so these are wood. >> reporter: some boards have thin strips of wood, called stringers running down the middle for added stiffness and style, this model runs around $1,800 but each surf board is different. >> i've had boards i've tried to duplicate for myself and each board has its own characteristics. >> reporter: like snow flakes, no two are alike. >> i agree, that's a good analogy. >> reporter: don't get me wrong, you can buy a machine-made board too like the one i'm paddling.
3:52 am
they're often cheaper and easier to ride, but they'll never have this certain something that a shaper puts into a board when they're making one just for you. i'm going to ask you a hippy dippy question, now. do these boards speak to you? >> that's a common question. yeah, i guess i do feel like there's a little more soul in a hand-shaped board. >> reporter: of course, no matter how good a surf board's design, it's only as good as the surfer and the waves that day. and every one of those is different too. >> that was tracy smith reporting from the beach. many young people find inspiration watching their favorite baseball players on the field. then, there are those of us who get inspired by what they hear from the braoadcast booth, stev heartman found that story on the road. >> reporter: 11-year-old ellie doughty of amhurst,

3:54 am
person. >> i was just hoping that she would see it and see that a lot of young girls are looking up to her, because when melanie was growing up, she had to push through all the people telling her that no, only men can do that. >> reporter: it's true. even today, some men are still hurling sexist words at melanie on social media, but there to deflect them with her single ply poster board stands ellie doughty who returned with a new sign that said melanie newman is fire. what's it like to see that? >> it really takes you back a moment. >> reporter: here's how we saw just how much melanie appreciates the support. >> i paid a lot of dues to just get here. and the hope, when those little girls make those signs, their dues are so much less.
