The Journey of Surfing and Shaping
I was very fortunate to learn from steve bahne the basics of shaping. He is a master shaper that can shape any size board out there. in summer of 1995 I was shaping all kinds of boards for people of all ages. I have met some very interesting people all around the world from france to Japan and many places in between. For one summer I worked with Mark Johnson shaping hobie surfboards. It was a busy summer and i shaped and signed 80 boards for hobies that summer which I believe was the summer of 1999. Stay tuned for the step in my latter of life.

Carrying on the hand shaped surfboard tradition
Starting with infinity surfboards in 1993 under the guidence of Steve Bahne I shaped 115 surfboards. From there I went out on my own journey of surfing and shaping boards and learning how every change effects the board. I have been influensed by shapers such as Terry Martin,Midget Smith,Timmy Patterson,Brian Bulkley. I ride many different shapes and sizes from 6ft fishes,twins,to quads and three fins. Riding so many different boards keeps me stoked and energized on the different waves from beach breaks to reefs and the many point break waves ive been very fortunate to grow up surfing.
