Introduction
Surfing, shaping, and exploration have defined my life, a journey driven by an enduring quest to understand the ocean and the craft of surfboard design. From the first wave I caught, I was captivated by how a board could shape the experience, turning each ride into something unique.
Across continents, I've shaped boards, drawing inspiration from the waves, places, and people who share this connection to the sea. This book invites you to look beyond surfboard design as mere craft, it's a reflection of the waves, the places, and the stories that shape it.
Through these pages, I'll share what I've learned about shaping boards that bring us closer to that elusive feeling we chase with every wave. This isn't just my journey; it's an exploration of the art and evolution of surfboard design. I hope it gives surfers a deeper understanding of the boards that carry us across the water and the stories they tell.
