Larry Mabile a grandi à Pacific Beach, en Californie, entre skate et surf. Au lycée, il tenait une cabane de glassing, Ghetto Glassing, et s'est fait connaître en glassant les planches du légendaire Skip Frye, avant son premier travail de shape chez G&S en 1979.
Il a façonné des planches à Xanadu, Swift Movement et Kane Garden (dont le fameux Kane Garden Fish), et contribué au projet Hydrodynamica autour de Bob Simmons. Ses coques planantes modernisées, Ghostbuster et White Pony, sont cultes. Il se consacre aujourd'hui à plein temps à Third World Exotic Surfboards.
