Mass produced boards? They’re copies. Built for everyone, which really means they’re built for no one.
Even the earliest boards—olo, alaia—were built with intention. Rails mattered. They had bite. That idea still holds.
I think of my shaping as a refined, modern shortboard built off a timeless and ancient template, with subtle variations to dial it in to how you surf.
Shaping coming soon, but in the meantime, here’s more about my style:
WHAT I SHAPE
I pretty much only shape and ride three-fin short boards.
A touch of nose rocker, with just enough extra volume up front to paddle easy, with good hold, while remaining responsive—no bouncy rails, no corky alt-craft feel. Just something you can lean on and trust.
WHO IT’S FOR
If your style leans toward that fast, driven, early-2000s feel, this will click.
I shape small variations of the same foundation to match different surfers and waves.
