His passion for surfing and shaping is just as strong today as it was when he first started.
Over the past two years he has designed and constructed a state of the art XYZ shaping machine, the
SURFMASTER, which allows him to input his knowledge and years of shaping experience into each design, producing truely fully functional high performance surfboards.
His aim is to make surfboards with clean foils and lines and now he can replicate those magic boards which he found was the biggest challenge. The
SURFMASTER machine provides the technology to make this challenge a reality.
We use the best materials available on all our boards. Silmar resin and dion foam and with this formula the boards are incredibly white, strong and durable with the correct amount of flex.
