Surfing is the SourceRiding waves with friends is the most pure source of joy and satisfaction I’ve found. It aligns us with the raw energy of nature and brings a strong connection to the present. Surfing has been the source of my fondest memories, the root of my closest friendships and a constant that has grounded me throughout life. I shape surfboards because I want to share that experience with others.Hand crafted with thoughtful consideration to every detail each board is approached as a piece of highly functional art.My process is very collaborative and I enjoy the challenge of creating boards that will be tuned just right for the individual surfer. If you’re interested in ordering a board or just have a question drop me a line here and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
